Dave Formula and Jimmy Ruffin

Sad to report the legendary Motown singer Jimmy Ruffin has died at the age of 78.  As fan's of Magazine, many of you will know that Dave Formula used to be Ruffin's piano player and arranger way back in the 70's.  See  here  on Dave's personal website. You can see Magazine members here in the audience when Jimmy played the Jools Holland show.

Thank you to Gordon Faulds for allowing me to share one of his fantastic photos of Magazine featuring, Howard, Barry and Dave along with Laura Teresa the bands backing vocalist. Gordon has advised he has negatives to more pics from the show/soundcheck which I am hoping he might allow me to share one day also. For now I'm extremely chuffed and grateful to Gordon for letting me use this on the blog. The photo was taken at Magazines gig in Coventry 1979.
