The Things We Have to Do is a crusading soul number with a very powerful Sam and Dave interplay as the two brothers trade lines in their respective stark vocal styles; David full of raspy deep soul wisdom and Jimmys' stirring scream like an celestial angel song. Hearing the Ruffin howl is a one of those wonders. The hallelujah like chants of 'Yes We Do' are the real hook as the two brothers joyously rejoice in perfect harmony to the tune of how life is hard and full of obligation.

The Ruffin Brothers (1970) The Things We Have to Do - LOST70sGEMS
The Ruffin Brothers, David of the Temptations and Jimmy of the big solo hit 'What becomes of the Broken Hearted?' released a solo album together or a duo for the brilliantly titled I am My Brother's Keeper. It features highlights such as the roving bass line of their spirited cover of Turn Back the Hands of Time or the throbbing groove of When My Love Hand Comes Down, the plaintive slide of Lo and Behold and the gung ho crash bang gospel call of Got to See If I Can Get Your Mother to Come Back Home.
