What Becomes of the Broken Hearted?

about a month or so ago i looked on youtube for every version of this song i could find.  oddly enough it looks like my two favorites were taken from the same tv show that i've never heard of before.  the first is from jimmy ruffin, who originally made it famous, and the second is colin blunstone (of the zombies) with dave stewart (some british keyboardist who i'd never heard of).  i know both of these singers are showmen to some extent, but it really looks like they're honestly drawing from some sort of heartbreak in their lives, doesn't it?  i also really dig the synth breakdown in the latter.
