Hello all I am new to the forum. David Ruffin is my favorite Temp, Eddie is not far behind. Question, I tried several different libraries looking for this book but no luck. I refuse to pay for it especially after reading some of the reviews from amazon. I am only curious to know what was said about Tammy, Jimmy, and David in the book. Anyone know of any other ways I can get this book, without paying too much for it.

Hi Blessed  and WELCOME to the board! If you paid a dime for Genna's book, it would still be too much! I don't think you will find this book in any library...cuz it's self published. She didn't have a lot to say about Jimmy; but she belittled Tammy...devoting a whole chapter to her... That Darned Tammi Terrell. She labeled David as just rotten to the core. She accused him of being a liar, thief, criminal, drug abuser, woman beater, child beater, animal beater, bigamist/adulterer, functional illiterate, homesexual tendancies, heathen, and a deadbeat dad. I don't recall her giving him one compliment, yet he was her soul mate!? If you just have to read it, I suggest you buy it used. It does not present David in a very positive light. |

"She accused him of being a liar, thief, criminal, drug abuser, woman beater, child beater, animal beater, bigamist/adulterer, functional illiterate, homesexual tendancies, heathen, and a deadbeat dad."
My thing is, if she has nothing good to say about him, then why did she pay to get her name change to Ruffin after he died. That is what I heard. I guess if all that happen, then that is what you get when you mess with a MARRIED MAN. Which brings me to my next point, I know she didn't have a problem with him cheating on her even with Tammy, when she knew he was married, and continue to have her affair.
I will try to see if I can find it used. But I will not pay more than $5 for it. I really wish his first wife, or one of his children from his first marriage would write a book, and maybe clear up some of this mess. At least for me, it would be more believable.

Thanks. I didn't know about that board. Are you on that board as well. From reading some of the post, it appears to be a board full of Davis ex's. Note I said appears, because I don't know if they are or not.

Blessed, I post as CP on the other board. And, yes there are a couple of David's exes who also post there. Another was a very good personal friend. We all have one thing in common...our love for David!  |

"We all have one thing in common...our love for David! " Now that's the truth.  |

Genna's book was a mess: badly written and probably completely unedited. Besides the many negative things she said about David, she also tried to explain this behavior. For example, she gave a pretty good account of his childhood, which really does explain a lot of David's later problems.
Bur what I liked most about the book was that she presented Dennis in such a positive light ... he was around when she was pregnant with David's child ... That description made me like Dennis even better.

I love to hear the right things said about Dennis because even though he did have his problems with conceited egotism in the 70s and 80s and some other personal conflicts, he was a great friend just like David Ruffin was to those who knew him. I heard David Ruffin would give you the shirt off his back if he had to. Same with Dennis. That's what i loved about Ruffin Kendricks and Edwards, they were all like brothers not just to each other, but to many of those who mattered. I think Genna Sapia-RUFFIN is a lying sack of cow-manure. She's evil and sneaky and selfish for trying to fight to get her illegitimate son with David Ruffin all the rights to David's belongings and fortune after he died. I'm sure It's not Junior's fault but his momma's very corrupted. She made her intentions a little too obvious when she changed her name to Ruffin after David Sr. died. Yup, it's true, Genna did do it after David died. What a shame how evil some bi*ches can be these days. Just like Eddie Kendricks's wife too. Just as evil......... |
