TributeTo Ruby Murray
Posted: Wed Mar 30, 2005 6:40 am
What an emotional time we have had recently! I did three major gigs in the Golden Anniversary week, including one on Friday 18 March itself. On each occasion I played my 'Tribute To Ruby Murray' medley ('Evermore', 'I'll Come When You Call' and 'Softly, Softly' - my three favourites). I also each time spoke affectionately about Ruby and her great achievement, and received many enthusiastic and nostalgic comments afterwards.
My copy of 'Anthology' arrived in the post before 9 a.m. on Monday 21 March, so I was listening to it probably before it was officially released! So nice at last to have nearly all the songs I never managed to get (mainly the early ones) - including one or two I had never even heard before! I think the only two songs I don't yet have in any format at all are 'Heart' and 'From The First Hello To The Last Goodbye' - can anyone help? Thanks!
Of course I remembered Ruby yesterday on her 70th Birthday, and am only sorry she did not manage to reach her three-score-years-and-ten. However, her memory will certainly live on - more brightly than ever now that we have this superb treat from EMI!
With my kindest regards to all Ruby's friends and fans,
John Harris (Norfolk).
