And Jimmy Smith: “James Oscar Smith (December 8, 1925 or 1928 – February 8, 2005) was an American jazz musician whose albums often charted on Billboard magazine. He helped popularize the Hammond B-3 organ, creating a link between jazz and 1960s soul music. In 2005, Smith was awarded the NEA Jazz Masters Award from the National Endowment for the Arts, the highest honor that America bestows upon jazz musicians.”

Jimmy Ruffin, older brother of David of the Temptations, had a classic Motown hit: "What Becomes of the Broken Hearted."

I did a post a couple of months ago (August 10) on "What Becomes of the Brokenhearted."

Jimmy Ruffin's was the first clip.
