Today we're going to talk about David Ruffin and the song Statue of a Fool. Hello! I'm Gail Nobles welcome to the oldies show. Statue of a Fool is a song written by Jan Crutchfield which has been recorded by a number of country artist.
But when you hear the voice of David Ruffin singing it, it sounds different and the song credit names are both Jan Crutchfield and David Ruffin. The song comes from David's album Who Am I released in 1975. Statue of a Fool became a hit for David.
I've seen David Ruffin performed the song with the Temptations. During his performance, he would stand still like a statue. It sounds as if someone considered himself in the lyrics a foolish person in a relationship. David acted out the powerful words very well, and the song had a soulful melody, and now the song is a classic. When David sings the song, I can feel the emotion coming from him. When your heart is broken, it can be hard to get over someone to move on. So maybe that's why the song is called Statue of a Fool.
Statue of a Fool is a powerful song. It is a great example of what great songs are all about. The song is timeless.
