History
Edward Roberts ( first tenor ), George Lee ( second tenor ), Ronald Moseley ( baritone) and Leroy Fann ( bass) already sang the late 50's together under the name The Supremes. Then heard Allen Stanton, a record producer of Kapp Records, the group that brought the singer Ruby Nash (* June 15, 1934 in Akron, Ohio) together and christened the group. Already the debut single " Our Day Will Come", published at the U.S. record company Kapp catalog number 501 was a number -one hit. The title was written and composed by Bob Hilliard and Mort Garson, produced by Allen Stanton.
The next two singles, " My Summer Love" (1963, 14th) and " Hey There Lonely Boy" (1963, No. 27 ) landed on the front ranks still in the singles chart, but the other singles that all the label Kapp published and produced by the end of 1964 by Allen Stanton, landed only at lower ranks in billboard's Hot 100 the last time they reached in February 1965 placement on the Billboard Hot 100 with " Does He Really Care for Me " (No. 87).
During her career, Ruby & the Romantics released several albums, but only " Our Day Will Come" was also placed in the short term in the U.S. album charts at number 120.
Numerous titles of Ruby and the Romantics have been covered in later years. Eddie Holman 1970 reached # 2 on the charts and number four in the R & B charts with " Hey There Lonely Girl". 1967 had the Marvelettes a top hit that made it into the U.S. charts at No. 23 and finished with "( When You're ) Young And In Love" in the R & B charts Place 9. The Carpenters came in 1972 with the title " Hurting Each Other " at # 2 on the U.S. charts. Their big hit " Our Day Will Come " made it in the version of Frankie Valli 1975 to 11th place
