BY THE END OF JUNE 1968DAVID RUFFIN had been dropped as the Temptations’ front-man due to personal indifferences alleged with Berry Gordy and members in the group. But by year’s end, Ruffin, by then vigorously still pursuing his talents as a solo artist with Motown, was awarded his first single, ‘My Whole World Ended (The Moment You Left Me).’ The single, written and produced by Harvey Fuqua and Johnny Bristol, was released by Motown Records, January 1969. The album above, titled as same as Ruffin’s first solo single, was to be released later in May of that year.
