Cultural Facts:
- David Ruffin Arrived Through His Brother: Before joining the Temptations, David Ruffin had already been performing around Detroit and was the younger brother of singer Jimmy Ruffin. His raw lead vocal became central to the group's mid-'60s breakthrough on songs like “My Girl” and “Ain't Too Proud to Beg.”
- “My Girl” Started With Smokey Robinson: Smokey Robinson wrote “My Girl” specifically with David Ruffin's voice in mind after hearing him perform. The song became the Temptations' first No. 1 pop single and permanently shifted Ruffin into the spotlight.
- Five Men, Choreographed Like One: Motown insisted its groups master presentation as carefully as singing. Choreographer Cholly Atkins drilled the Temptations in synchronized steps and stage movement, helping create the polished visual style that became nearly as recognizable as their harmonies.

This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
