They recorded the original version of the David Ruffin hit \"Walk Away From Love\" (also produced by McCoy), hitting the high note that Ruffin famously missed. Both Pede \"Pete\" Marshall and Charles Blagmon went on to tour with groups led by former members of The Temptations after the group's demise, prior to its revival by Teddy Maduro.","location":1,"location_name":"Default","play_type":"trackplay"}
