Me 'n Rock 'n Roll Are Here to Stay is a 1974 album by ex-The Temptations singer David Ruffin. On this album, the singer was given another opportunity to prove himself, as the former Temptations frontman was reunited with Norman Whitfield—an "A-list" producer who recorded a number of classics with the Temptations.
