Greatest Hits Album – RUBY & THE ROMANTICS****

Our Day Will Come/Hey There Lonely Boy/Baby Come Home/Our Everlasting Love/Does He Really Care For Me/Your Baby Doesn’t Love You Anymore/Young Wings Can Fly/My Summer Love/How Deep Is The Ocean/ When You’re Young & In Love/Nobody But My Baby/We’ll Meet Again

First compilation album from the American R & B vocal harmony group Ruby & The Romantics who had several US hit singles in the mid sixties, including the chart topping Our Day Will Come.

“If you love good music, order this album. Ruby and The Romantics are known mainly for the hit Our Day Will Come but believe me they were no one hit wonders. Ruby’s sweet melodic voice and the impeccable harmonies of The Romantics will set the mood for a wonderful candle light dinner, background for a low-key cocktail party or an intimate evening in front of a crackling fire.”

“Ruby & The Romantics are one of the great forgotten groups of R & B history. They could sing fantastic harmonies, had a great stage presence with beautiful lead vocals by Ruby.”

“This convincingly demonstrates that there was more depth and quality than is commonly acknowledged to a group that is often remembered only for one song, or regarded as a lightweight pop-soul group.”

“This LP brought back memories of the days when romance was still special. The words and lyrics were simple but effective. The music didn't overpower you; instead it soothed and gave you a warm glow.”

“The listener is especially rewarded by the wholly unforgettable Our Day Will Come, but there are other musical pleasures here as well that one will come to treasure. Ruby Nash had a clear voice. The Romantics were well-suited to being a backing group as their tight harmonies formed a foundation for the lead vocal. Listening to Ruby and The Romantics keeps one young at heart.”

“Nothing can transport you back in time and consume you with wonderful memories like the music you grew up with. The Romantic's music, together with their tight, silky smooth harmony conjures up memories that would get even the most innocent daydreamer in trouble with their spouse. This is music in its rarest, perfect form, the kind that takes you back to the best of times.”
