Ruby & The Romantics - 1963 - Our Day Will Come @320

 


Ruby & The Romantics

Ruby & the Romantics was an Akron, Ohio-based American R&B group in the 1960s, composed of Ruby Nash, George Lee, Ronald Mosely, Leroy Fann, and Ed Roberts. 

The group had several pop and R&B hit records, topping the US Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1963 with their first recording, "Our Day Will Come".

The song, written by Mort Garson and Bob Hilliard, was a worldwide hit, reaching No. 1 and selling over one million copies in the US,

also topped the Billboard R&B chart at # 1, and peaked at #38 in the UK Singles Chart. It also reached No. 11 on the Australian Charts. 

Despite their relative obscurity compared to many of their 1960s contemporaries, Ruby and The Romantics reign as one of the most-covered and influential

R&B vocal groups of the 1960s. They were inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2007, and are winners of The Rhythm and Blues Foundation's prestigious Pioneer Award.

In 1963, they were also nominated by The National Academy of Recording

Arts and Sciences for the Best Rock and Roll Recording for "Our Day Will Come".

In 2013, Ruby & The Romantics became charter inductees into the inaugural class of the National Rhythm & Blues Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio.
