I wouldn’t be able to name a single member of the band 😂 yet I have a dozen or so songs of them in my playlist.

😲 Now I'm truly shocked. f&m, there will now be photos. You had to know this would happen, lol.

First up, my man Melvin Franklin. He's the bass voice in the group.

Why did Michael pay for the funeral? What about the man’s family?

I hardly ever read biographies and autobiographies. The only thing I know about David Ruffin is his demise was very sad. Very rock and roll, if you get my drift. So maybe his family had ended contact with him. I'm just guessing. With Jackie Wilson, I've seen disagreement as to whether Michael did, in fact, pay for his funeral. Jackie was in a coma for 8 years and Elvis, afaik, paid the medical bills. Michael might have paid for the funeral, not completely sure. No idea where the family was. 🤷‍♀️
 
'The Sciences Sing A Lullaby'
by Albert Goldbarth

Physics says: go to sleep. Of course
you're tired. Every atom in you
has been dancing the shimmy in silver shoes
nonstop from mitosis to now.
Quit tapping your feet. They'll dance
inside themselves without you. Go to sleep.

Geology says: it will be all right. Slow inch
by inch America is giving itself
to the ocean. Go to sleep. Let darkness
lap at your sides. Give darkness an inch.
You aren't alone. All of the continents used to be
one body. You aren't alone. Go to sleep.

Astronomy says: the sun will rise tomorrow,
Zoology says: on rainbow-fish and lithe gazelle,
Psychology says: but first it has to be night, so
Biology says: the body-clocks are stopped all over
town
and
History says: here are the blankets, layer on layer,
down and down.
 
Of all the pleasures given to man, the most exquisite is to move his brain. "The Diamond Chariot" by B. Akunin.

It is a deep delusion to believe that an clever man is clever in everything. He is clever in matters that require intelligence, and in matters of the heart, is very, very stupid. "The whole world is a theater", B. Akunin.

I don't know this guy. I'm going to see if he's available in English translation. :)

I think it should be in English
I've read him a lot in my time. His books have a lot of historical facts, philosophy, observations on human psychology and his detective plots are very fascinating)))))))
