5 out of 5 stars a GREAT ALBUM from A FANTASTIC BUT NEARLY FORGOTTEN GROUP.......2006-09-16

RUBY and THE ROMANTICS are one of the great FORGOTTEN groups of POP/R&B HISTORY .FORGOTTEN , BUT NOT DESERVEDLY SO. THESE GUYS (AND GIRL } COULD S I N G !! Fantastic harmonies... great stage presence...LUSH instrumental backgrounds ...beautiful lead vocals by RUBY NASH....THIS GROUP HAD IT ALL ! Most people today only remember THE ROMANTICS as the group that recorded the number 1 smash " OUR DAY WILL COME " ...But,they were much,much more.They were , quite simply, one of the most INFLUENTIAL GROUPS EVER !! Many of their songs were actually re- recorded years later by OTHER artists...who sadly , had MUCH BIGGER HITS with them...which was a tribute to the TALENTED , FINE group they actually were. Examples : Their hit "WHEN YOU'RE YOUNG AND IN LOVE " became a much bigger hit for Motown's MARVELETTES. Their song " HURTING EACH OTHER " became a big one years later for THE CARPENTERS. Their hit " HEY THERE LONELY BOY" became a smash for EDDIE HOLMAN AS " HEY THERE LONELY GIRL " , their BIGGEST HIT..." OUR DAY WILL COME " became a disco smash for THE 4 Seasons' FRANKIE VALLI .Even their name "THE ROMANTICS" was eventually STOLEN by a rock group,the members of which probably weren't EVEN BORN when they had their first hits. Why did all these other artists have much bigger hits with the ROMANTICS' songs than they did ? It certainly wasn't due to lack of talent since , in many cases, their originals sounded much better than the REMAKES. Part of the reason, in my opinion,had to do with the fact their record label, KAPP RECORDS ,part of what is today known as the (MCA} UNIVERSAL MUSIC GROUP, had almost zero experience with the marketing and promotion of R&B artists. This was , after all, the label responsible for such MOR ARTISTS as ROGER WILLIAMS,BURT BACHARACH,AND LOUIS ARMSTRONG. Also, during the groups' heyday ('62-'67 } , the national music charts were dominated by stiff competition from MOTOWN, with their similar group GLADYS KNIGHT AND THE PIPS, the BRITISH INVASION GROUPS, powerful R&B artists such as JAMES BROWN AND THE FAMOUS FLAMES , JACKIE WILSON,and LITTLE ANTHONY AND THE IMPERIALS ,Chicago's IMPRESSIONS, GENE CHANDLER ,AND THE DELLS, CALIFORNIA BEACH GROUPS,(THE BEACH BOYS, JAN & DEAN, AND OTHERS), and FOLK ARTISTS ,such as PETER ,PAUL, AND MARY , making it very hard to compete.But the artists and insiders in the industry knew who RUBY AND THE ROMANTICS were,(such as the afore mentioned CARPENTERS,who also covered their hit " YOUR BABY DOESN'T LOVE YOU ANYMORE" }, and so did a select group of loyal fans. As a teen growing up in the sixties, I was one of that latter group. I remember their songs "YOUNG WINGS CAN FLY " , "MY EVERLASTING LOVE" , "DOES HE REALLY CARE FOR ME and especially the incredible "MOONLIGHT AND MUSIC " (WRITTEN by THE ROMANTICS' LEROY FANN), were among the greatest DOO WOP classics ever recorded .(They were "quiet storm " long before the term became popular). I never thought that all these classic songs would ever see the light of day on one CD , and it took a foreign label to release it . If you want an example of the best in mellow , romantic (pun intended ) '60's pop / r&b, look no further then " OUR DAY WILL COME : THE BEST OF RUBY AND THE ROMANTICS - LEROY FANN, ED ROBERTS,GEORGE LEE,AND RONALD MOSLEY-You'll see why they deserve a place among the greatest soul/r&b groups of all time !!

5 out of 5 stars great listening.......2006-02-24

I thought the only way Ruby and the Romantics would ever be heard again would be on the pop stations of radio. But thanks for comming out with a cd of their best hits. They are always a pleasure to listen to.

5 out of 5 stars I LOVE THIS ALBUM, YOU WILL TOO!!!!.......2003-09-23

If you love good music, order this album. Ruby and the Romantics are known mainly for the hit "Our Day Will Come" but believe me they were no ONE HIT WONDERS. Rubys sweet melodic voice and the impeccable harmonies of the Romantics will set the mood for a wonderful candle light dinner, background for a low-key cocktail party or an intimate evening in front of a crackling fire.
There are songs on here you have not heard in probably 30 years.
This REALLY is a great album and would make a wonderful gift during the holidays or any time.
