Jimmy Ruffin – What Becomes of the Brokenhearted – A Perfect Song, By Ron Swanson

This, I think, would have to qualify as one of those elusive “perfect records,” at least insomuch as many have tried to make it better and I don’t think anyone has.

I first heard this song on the jukebox at Loree’s Restaurant, which used to be on the corner of Foster and Sawyer in Chicago, and the melody has always remained with me.
