Hello friends,
As we come to the end of another year the 17th of December will be a sad day for all Ruby fans.
The record books always indicate that Rubys success was brief.......To me it always seems a shame that success is measured on how many hit records you achieved.
Theres no getting away from the fact that Ruby was the female star of the fifties with several hit records and she went on to make many more beautiful recordings but after the fifties that hit record seemed to elude her .
However she continued to be the top of the bill in all theatres throughout the country,she travelled abroad and at this time of year starred in pantomime.
Right up to her last illness she was touring with the "Wonderful Fifties" show with the likes of Clinton Ford and Ronnie Hilton and it was receiving marvelous revues.
Ruby gave so much pleasure and I can't think of anything better than to end my tribute with other than to use the words that Bernie had placed on Rubys last resting place.
"Dear Ruby,Sleep,Softly Softly,In Peace,Evermore"
"God Bless Ruby
