It couldn't have gone better. It exceeded all expectations. It was simply beautiful. My wife would have appreciated it. Thanks Randy.
Mr. Ruffin provided an evening of great music. Many of our guests commented on the fun entertainment.
There aren't enough stars or words to describe Randy and my experience with him. I felt like we were old friends from the minute he contacted me to play at my husband's 60th Surprise Party. He was kind & caring about every detail & conscious of exactly what I wanted. He contacted me several times before so he knew about the venue & asked for a picture of where he would be setting up before he arrived. A true professional & a even more true gentleman. He arrived an hour before his time to set up & take care of every detail. The minute we arrived Randy had the party started & set the tone for a fun night!! We danced all night long & sang along with him which wasn't great but Randy didnt seem to mind at all. His voice and all around vibe is amazing but his personality is what gets you. A true kind sweet genuine person who everyone fell in love with!! My guests all loved him, my husband had the night of his life which he said he will never forget & I gained a friend!! Thank you Randy my new friend & I mean that Sincerely from the bottom of my heart!
Randy is a total professional in every aspect. Although it was my first experience with Randy it was like we were old friends that hadn’t seen each other for sometime. Randy’s talent was obvious from his first song however to connect with the audience the way he did only exemplified his professionalism and personality. A total pleasure, s total talent, s total gentlemen and all that were present for this experience were totally happy and awed.
Thanks Randy from the IHOC family.
Response from Randy Ruffin's Tribute to David Ruffin:
To, say that I had a great time entertaining this group would be an understatement. To support this fundraiser and the great work this IHOC organization is doing with its supportive housing program for the homeless, was an absolute pleasure! I felt right at home with everyone in the room as they showed great appreciation for the music selection and we had a great time singing and dancing together! I would do it every year if they asked me to! Big shout out and thank you to Chas Van Horn and Ruth Morganroth for having me participate in their fundraiser!

Response from Randy Ruffin's Tribute to David Ruffin:
What a great way to celebrate the holiday. I had a lot of options for the 4th of July celebration but I felt so compelled by the request for entertainment at the Phoenix Rehabilitation Center in Brooklyn New York and the opportunity to bring joy to the residence there that I decided to spend my day with them. I want to thank the staff and the residents for inviting me into their home. We had such a wonderful time there were tears of memories sounds and applauds of joy and satisfaction singing and dancing together. I'm so happy to have been chosen for this occasion and look forward to any opportunity to do it again for them. My best regards to the staff and all the residents that attended the 4th of July celebration. Yours truly Mr Randy Ruffin
