What a beautiful, endearing woman. I truly believe that Ruby has no idea how much her classic recordings have meant to so many people. Amazingly, the original recordings still sound fresh to this day.

Ruby your song Our Day Will Come was fantastic and still is.

Such a beautiful song that almost nobody else recorded . Why ? Because nobody could do it better . It is a rare recording that is absolutely perfect.

One of the greatest, yet most underated groups in music history !!! Every song they made was just AWESOME and many artists , such as THE CARPENTERS, THE MARVELETTES, EDDIE HOLMAN , and numerous others have covered the songs of RUBY and the ROMANTICS !!!

but no one did it like Ruby.

Since I was a teenager, I have loved her song-- Our Day Will Come. Some songs never get old. And that's one of them. Back then, songs had meaning to them.

I heard it he other day and pressed repeat. It is definitely a classic that speaks volume today, 2024

I was 13 that song made me fall in love with her voice.

I love Ruby and The Romantics ❤️

This was a number one record for Ruby and The Romantics from 1963. I played the hell out of this record over the air waves. What a great record.

I love Ruby and the Romantics.

Her shyness is precious.

I heard Ruby and the Romantics since I was born and to today I can listen to them and remember my childhood! There were so much good time and happy memories! Thank you Ruby and to all the Romantics! Your music will live on forever in my family with my kids and theirs, since I always play your music at our gatherings and holidays! Hawaii loves you!

All I can say is WOW ! They should be on "Unsung". This song reminds me so much of my uncle and aunt first getting together when I was a kid.

The best of the best! Thank you Ruby!

Thank-You Ruby for sharing your God given gift.

Great interview of such a wonderful artist! God Bless you Ruby and thank you for one of my all time favorite tunes. And thank you Tom Meros for bringing Rubys' and all of these artists' stories to light, Keep up the good work!!

What a wonderful woman - and all 4 of the ROMANTICS have passed away

What a great interview; what a fine person. Deserved every success she earned.... Inspiring.

This song is a national treasure

Glad to see the lady singer who made this song popular in 1963. My favorite oldie of all time!

I was 16 and in love for the first time and this was our song. I'll never forget how many memories this song brings to mind. If you missed the 60s you missed the best decade of the 20th century.

Same thing with me, but my girl and I were 19 years old (1975).

I love Ruby and The Romantics! I still believe that their best record was not "Our Day Will Come" but "Young Wings Can Fly"! Give a listen to it and see if you like it!

She said her dad was proud of her when he heard her on the radio. I have no doubt he was.

for the people who says , there's no such thing as perfection , our day will come , proves you wrong , can you imagine , even the producer did not believe his ears , thank you TOM ,for this fascinating series .

A wonderful voice, great artist, awesome group.

I love the title of the song Our Day Will Come. It gives you hope that one day your day will come and you will have everything.

I love you Ruby. This is such a wonderful story. You made me smile again. You are a beautiful vocalist. Your song is on my playlist. You made this song. It's BEAUTIFUL and so are YOU! Thank you so very much for posting this.

Amazing and a phenomenal lady She had such a pure beautiful sound and so smooth. They were one of my favorite groups back in the day. It's such a joy to see her again after 50 yrs of more..This is wonderful to hear of how her group came to be. God bless her.

Awesome Singer beautiful Voice love Our Day Will Come it's a Classic I'll always Love thanks for sharing this Video footage

Our Day will Come 😍😍 Thank you Ruby 🎶 🎶

Thank you Ruby. I have fond memories of this song. It is one of the few time I get to still hear my stepfather Roy Glover . Thanks for the memories.

I was 13 when this came out and it was something special as were Ruby & The Romantics. They had several great hits from early 1963 through 1964 and then sadly they were gone from the airwaves.

I live in New Zealand and remember when Our Day Will Come was on the charts. I fell in love with your voice then Ruby and you have been my favourite female singer of all time since. You evoke so much emotion with your pure and smooth voice. I play your music still regularly. Thankyou for giving us this gift.

That song, "Our Day Will Come" that version, is the perfect blend of melancholy and glee. It's the most beautiful musical rendition of a daydream I've ever heard. Everyone from Ruby, the GOAT to the legendary Gary Chester on drums. Perfect. Every single musician laid it down.

That song will never grow old. I was so fortunate to meet group member Mr Roberts. He was a lovely man. God bless Ms Ruby. What a great interview.

For her to be shy back then she sure made a good name for herself. I remember this song when I was a kid and I still like it a lot.

Love ya, Ruby! Love ya, Tom! Your classic hit "Our Day Will Come" will live on and on. I'm from Pittsburgh. PA. In December 1962, when this song was released, I was 13 and I had just visited NYC for the first time on a 3-day field trip with my HS classmates. Your song reverberates with the ambience of a wonderful R&B era in pop music. You are unforgettable!

Beautiful Lady, Beautiful Voice, 😍

I find it so interesting that on occasions, unplanned innocence results in an event that touch almost everybody on earth in their own way . This song by Ruby and the group will be loved and played 1000 years from now ., what an inspiring voice for a song that gives so much hope to hundred of millions . Thank you ruby !

She’s one of a kind. Nobody sounds like her. God bless you Ruby🙏

Thanks Ruby for the great music! This is still a favorite song. My mother use to sing this when I was a child. It brings back great memories of my mother and my childhood.

Such a lovely lady with a beautiful voice😍

Love Ruby...real sweet soulful voice!

What a remarkable woman and story!

Ruby has no idea how great she really is and she is so unassuming which makes her even greater.

I love that group and the song

YES THIS IS A GREAT INTERVIEW HOPE THIS GUY KEEP BRINGING THIS GOOD HISTORY THANK YOU SIR

This is great history and interview. Her voice is amazing!!!! I'm ashamed I didn't know about Ruby and the Romantics sooner than today. New fan!!

I was 17 when this came out and I will love this love forever! Love Ruby.

She really does have a singing voice. She has a beautiful voice. On youtube there's a greatest hits upload at the moment. The romantics had a very tight harmony. Impeccable! No respect given and no recognition. Such a shame.

Buddy Miles inspired the rhythm for Our Day Will Come. Wow. Thanks.

She's just an incredible and for real lady. What a great interview!

beautiful lady and timeless song.

A classic like that in only one take? Simply amazing. What an awesome talent.

This lady is very special. A phenomenon! To look at her in this interview is just so DAMN inspiring!!!! Seeing an African-American lady whose special light shined so brightly like Ms. Garnett's does in this interview (and surely outside of it as well), in such an overtly racist time that she lived in is just inspiring to me. It gives me hope to continue on in this life of crime. She knew she was great; like we all did!!!! Thanks for uploading this video!!!

Racism had nothing to do with Ruby Nash. She had a beautiful voice. She had no edge like Aretha. I would argue that her voice was perfectly suited to the standards that she sang so well. I wish people would stop infusing music history with their pop version of race relations which tells us nothing about the MUSIC. C'MON Man!!!!!!!!

Racism existed then and it exists today , all of the Great Black Singers endured countless Racist biased and inferior treatment . Look at the Interviewer, always copying our Music stealing Rights from most of the Black Great Icons ! Check oit the History of Black Singers and Musicians then talk ! Great to see Ruby prospered regardless. Enjoyed seeing her . Thanks for the Video footage .

@@acquanellaogbemudia9930 What the hell are you talking about, the interviewer is stealing music? He is giving an incredibly talented lady a chance to present her history and tell her story, and showing an appreciation of her and her talent. He is respectful and knowledgeable. How many black interviewers are out there presenting these great performers or showing an appreciation for their history? Virtually none. You're talking out your ass.

@@acquanellaogbemudia9930 Sadly this is true. No matter how much some want to deny it it's clear that racism is alive now as it's always been. And it doesn't look as if it's going away anytime soon, barring some global catastrophe. But perseverance is what God gave us in droves, and one can see that easily in Ruby Nash Garrett. And it is very inspiring.

I love this song so much and what a treat to see this woman who gave it to me.

Excellent video Tom, thanks for posting, much appreciated. Ruby and the Romantics are outstanding : )

One of the most gorgeous songs human beings have ever created!

I remember meeting Ruby Nash in 2008 at The Induction Ceremony for The Vocal Group Hall Of Fame. We were inducted into The Hall Of Fame. I was one of the "Founding" Members of The "Original" Duprees. We walked around together, arm in arm, backstage at The Chevrolet Center in Youngstown, Ohio. It was as though we were old friends. She was a charming, talented, lady. At the time she was no longer singing, I encouraged her to get back into the business again. We both recorded hit records but getting to meet Ruby always made me feel special.

They played for the Nutley,New Jersey High school Prom , at the Westmount Country club,in 1968,according to my oldest cousin's wife who is an alum.

First heard this song in 1963, didn’t buy it because you can’t buy them all but down the years it’s always had a special place in my heart,

great piece of pop music history. thanks.

Timeless classic song

Ruby i just love this tune our day will come Five stars

Love that song.

Such a pretty song.

Great interview,Love you Ruby and the Romantics.

I have just been overdosing on Ruby and the Romantics. Fantastic music. It's a real mystery how they stayed under the radar whilst lesser groups thrived.

In the interview, Ruby talks about listening to Dinah Washington and Ella Fitzgerald and Cab Calloway's Orchestra on the radio; the same singers her mom enjoyed. It is unfortunate to consider her a doo wop singer or a Motown singer, her roots are further back in the American songbook. This may explain why her tone did not fit with the emerging 60's sound and later.

They weren't under the radar! They were top-ten, beloved by every teen and even our parents (!) I knew in the LA area. They were at the top of the chart! Played at least once an hour for months upon months on all the radio stations. Hardly "under the radar" my friend!

So good to see her alive and well! Amazing talent.

I really enjoyed the interview. The song is a classic that will live forever.

What an interesting story of hers and very intelligent about her music.... Wow! I wish my grandma was still living so i could share this with her....

Love you, Ruby!

Ruby had such an elegant voice

Ruby .... Thank You so much for your wonderful voice! "When you are Young and in love" was totally incredible! Thank You so very much for your heart felt wonderful voice! You are, and always will be, The Best of the Best!!!!!!!!!! Glen

I had chance to see them at the Fox theater along Temptations , B E King, The Ronnett s, Tom Jones was the closing act not headliner. If I recall quite a few performers. I had a booklet for the Show . I love the so much 💙 I sing that arrangement in my show. I come from a family of singers and we love to harmonize. I enjoyed Her and this interview. Thanks & Blessings

Great interview Tom!!!

Great interview. Looking good gal, love ya. I heard your song for the first time this year on the 580 Am out of Windsor. I am in Detroit. Wonderful. I stopped work just to hear your sweet voice. Thank you.

this was my mom's song may she rip miss you n love you Angie a Dominguez Yuma Arizona n mt view ca

A beautiful voice & ah class Act !!

I love Ruby & The Romantics. People always talk about the impact of "Our Day Will Come," but no one mentions "Stranger On The Shore," "Hey There Lonely Boy," "Heartaches," and "Your Baby Doesn't Love You Anymore." Karen Carpenter covered that song. I hope they are sitting on a lifetime supply of royalties 🙏🏾💖

"When you're Young and In Love" is their best song, followed by "Our Day Will Come" and"Our Summer Love" in my opinion.

It’s beach music...it’s first date music...so many memories!!!

Nice to learn the history of my favorite groups. Especially in a live setting. I think I own all of R&R recordings. It is a treasured part of my collection. Hey Ruby...Thanks for letting your guard down and giving us your personal side of the group which is in a word is "Priceless". Thank You. Jerry in Poway California.

Ruby, you were great on the doo wop shows. Loved working with you. Brother Rick PBS Shows

what a great interview the essence of humility

Love this group

Whoa Ruby I was raised up on your voice, I remember those days when I was grounding up in Jamaican my mom's use to sing ,out say will come, omg that voice. I love you mis Ruby 💛😉

this made me cry

Ruby & The Romantics recorded 3 great sides in the early 70s which were never released.

Wow they where amazing

great interview, keep up the good work.

Her version is the best. It is her song!

MY UNDERSTANDING IS THE ROMANTICS ( THE 4 GUYS ) WERE A GROUP CALLED THE SUPREMES BEFORE RUBY JOINDED THE GROUP, AND BACK THEN THE SUPREMES WERE KNOWN AS THE PRIMETTES & THE TEMPS. WERE THE PRIMES !!!

Great song - but Ruby and the group should have received a lot more recognition and money. In those days the music industry got away with blatantly stealing form the artists.

Todavía los adoro.

Ruby is 87 now. Time flys.

I always loved their rendition of I Don't Know Why (I Just Do). For some reason it never seems to find its way into greatest hits compilations. And I have no idea who owns the rights to their Kapp material but they have yet to reissue those albums on CD. But if and when they do I hope they actually ensure Ruby Nash Garrett - the only surviving member btw - receives her share in royalties.

Thank you

Just by looking at her, her posture, the sadness in her voice, the bare white walls (no family photos) the worn down couch cushions, leads you to assume that the record company royally screwed her over financially. The infamous shady reality of record labels.

Just and an other ANGLE !

RUBY and THE ROMANTICS : One of the MOST-COVERED and INFLUENTIAL R&B VOCAL GROUPS of the 1960's !!! The members of the group were: Ruby Nash, George Lee, Ronald Mosely, Leroy Fann and Ed Roberts. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruby_%26_the_Romantics
