David Ruffin -- Everything's Coming Up Love (Plus a surprise!)

Looks like I'm having Ruffin-withdrawal symptoms ... So, here I go again with yet another David Ruffin classic.

Everything's Coming Up Love is once more a tune by this great vocalist that makes me want to dance; This song has "just be happy!" written all over. Doesn't it? And when David hits those high notes (0:45 and 2:00) -- so smoothly and perfectly -- I am reassured that I am soooo right in being crazy about his voice. 

Now -- Here's The Surprise!!!

Okay. Y'all (lol) know that I love David Ruffin. (By now you really should.) A while ago it just so happened that I came across a YouTube clip by a gentleman who seemed to like Ruff too.  While I am restricted to writing/posting about My David (mainly because of vocal shortcomings), avetrey can actually sing David's songs! I do admire him for his courage -- because singing David's material definitely is challenging.

Now, looka here what avetrey did!

(Please, head over to his channel and leave a comment, if you like his singing!)

Stevie Wonder -- You Haven't Done Nothing

I am  not a great fan of Stevie's, but there are a few songs by him I absolutely love! One of them is today's post. The song is from his 1974 Fulfillingness' First Finale album. Everyone who would like to listen to the entire album, check out AllSOULANDFUNK ...
