As some of us know this is NOT his first solo effort. I dug this song up among my collective pile of mini-discs and it's one of David Ruffin's best since he'd occasionally left the Temptations. This song was written and produced by the late Van McCoy who brought us The Hustle and I know this goes WAY back (some of you were yet in existance when it came out but it's new to you ;)).
Chart history: #9/Billboard-Pop top 5/R&B
His earlier solo work included My Whole World Ended (The Moment You Left Me) in 1969 and in '85 collaborated with Eddie Kendricks along with Daryl Hall & John Oates with A Nite At The Apollo Live, a melody of Motown favorites with The Way You Do The Things You Do and My Girl.

I've only heard this song a couple of times (listening to copies of AT40 from 1980)... it's okay, doesn't stick in my head though.
