"What Becomes Of The Brokenhearted" #7 10/29/1966

The first hit for Jimmy Ruffin, born in Collinsville, Miss. near Meridian, and the older brother of Temptations lead singer David Ruffin. This was originally intended for the Spinners (a fellow Motown act at the time), but Jimmy talked the writers into giving him the song. The intro is long because a spoken part was written but later removed for this version, but it appears in others.
