Motown Singer Remembered Jimmy Ruffin Page II (AP) - Jimmy Ruffin, the Motown singer whose hits include "What Becomes o f the Brokenhearted" and "Hold on to My Love," is being remembered after his Nov. 17 death at the age of 78. Jimmy Lee Ruffin was bom on May 7, 1936, in Collinsville, Mississippi. He was signed to Berry Gordy's Motown Records, and had a string of hits in the 1960s, including "What Becomes of the Broken hearted," which became a Top 10 pop hit. He had continued success with songs such as "I've Passed This Way Before" and "Gonna Give Her All the Love I've Got," but Ruffin marked a comeback in 1980 with his second Top 10 hit, "Hold on to My Love."
