For his work with the Temptations, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989.  Marvin Gaye, another Motown recording artist, once said of Ruffin, “I heard [in his voice] a strength my own voice lacked.”

Ruffin recorded his first released record with the songs “You and I” (1958) b/w “Believe Me” after moving to Detroit with the Bushes (1958). These songs were recorded at Vega Records and released under the name “Little David Bush,” using his guardian’s surname.
