David Ruffin v Choice Four -- "Just Let Me Hold You For A Night"

Let's do another compare and contrast with a beautiful song, written by Charles Kipps, a prolific soul song writer and producer, who together with Van McCoy, bestowed on us some of the most beautiful songs I can think of.

He also wrote for and produced Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight, and Melba Moore. "He and McCoy were partners in McCoy-Kipps Productions, one of the most successful Music production companies of the 1970s." (www.charleskipps.com)



This is Choice Four with their pretty, darned good 1976 version of the song.


 


And here comes Ruffin -- David! Ruffin! -- my all-time favorite Temptations lead singer and his version released by Motown in 1977.
