Interesting take on "I Want You Back" with David Ruffin on vocals.

"Jamie" by Eddie Holland. One of his few vocal releases before Barry Gordy decided Eddie would be more valuable in the songwriting/production side of the business. Hence the Holland-Dozier-Holland partnership

I think he's got some vocal chops. Still I think Gordy made the right call because that Holland-Dozier-Holland team was stellar.

Interesting but for me sounds out of place. Not taking away anything from Ruffin's vocal ability, it just doesn't match the music style for me.
