Rodger left behind 2 sons. The woman "His Wife's" name was Helga who has also since passed. I still maintain his grave site along with his father's my Uncle John and often visit David Ruffin's grave which is near my own parents. May they all RIP

It's absolutely heart breaking 🙏😭❤❤. Rodger should have been introduced to some beautiful black sister after getting his heart broken. Maybe some strong sweet young black love could have saved his life... I'm so sorry 🙏. I'm 65 and I have always cried to thus song when I was a sad little girl 😔 mostly because my mom always did put her boyfriends before us; her children, and this made me cry and miss her even more. Now that I'm old and grown; I know now that she was a baby making babies!!! That's why my pretend grandma took us away from her when I was only 3 years old. Lord have mercy. And now with my son and his ex-girlfriend; history repeats it ugly self once again. Lord have mercy on human race!!

MOST great if not all great songwriters get their inspiration from real-life relationships. the songs i wish it would rain, in the rain by tony hester, whatcha see is whatcha get are all inspired by man woman relationsips gone wrong. tears of a clown, more love, since i lost my baby all come from Smokey Robinson and his relationship with his wife and other women.

Funny how my 2 favorite songs by the Temptations, I wished it would rain and You`re my everything were written by Rodger. Those lyrics seem to come from someone much older. Very talented young man. It actually hurt me when I heard his story. His songs will live forever.

Man what a heart felt song unless a person goes through a ordeal like this you can't relate to it but suicide is not the answer because you still have to account for your life instead of suicide embrace what you did have & we must move forward GOD ALWAYS has a better plan for you . GOD BLESS

I appreciate knowing the story behind this song. Heartache is real & sometimes you don't know what to do with yourself. Most times you have to live through the pain until you get tired of feeling that way It takes a lot of prayers.

Thanks for your interesting commentary. However didn't the remaining Temptations under Rick James reunite for an album which featured the hit song 'Standing On Top', with Eddie Kendricks(R.I.P.) David Ruffin(R.I.P.) Melvin Franklin(R.I.P.) and Otis Williams and three other TEmptations including the late Dennis Edwards?

You have this story wrong.. The reason david said change the name... Ia because motown WAS NOT paying them. He was the first to address this. Renaming the group would give thenm TWO checks. A headliner check they could do seperate from what Motown gave them. David told dennis to replace him because they are not listening... Few years later David sued Motown and they counter sued him. Thus shutting his career and promotion down. Eddie a few years later did the SAME. realizing david was right. Hence why David Eddie and Dennis toured together.

Thanks for setting the record straight on David Ruffin. He’s my all time favorite singer and I hate that people always bash him without even knowing the facts.
