WHAT BECOMES OF THE BROKEN HEARTED Jimmy Ruffin, who had a massive worldwide hit with What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted has died in a Las Vegas hospital. Like many soul stars, Ruffin enjoyed much success in Europe, and he made his home in London in the 80s and 90s, before returning to the United States. Motown founder Berry Gordy in a statement Wednesday called Ruffin a phenomenal singer.He was truly underrated because we were also fortunate to have his brother, David, as the lead singer of the Temptations, who got so much acclaim. Jimmy, as a solo artist, had What Becomes of the Broken Hearted, one of the greatest songs put out by Motown and also one of my personal favorites, said Gordy. He was a wonderful human being, quiet and unassuming, who touched many lives with his music, not just here in the States, but overseas as well…I extend my sincere condolences to his family, friends and fans.
