Posted August 10, 20168 yr site note: the below info was posted in error by a member who hadn't confirmed the actual details apologies on behalf of the site steps are being taken to try and avoid this happening in future It has been reported (by her nephew Christopher Forehand on youtube) that Ruby Winters has passed. A very sad loss .... R.I.P .... ... her rendition of white 'soul man' Eddie Hinton's "Sweetheart Things" is & always will be a great track.
August 10, 20168 yr Author Her biggest successes in Europe (& the UK) came at the end of the 70's but it was her 60's stuff that did well in the States ... Another goodie from her ....
August 11, 20168 yr That's a shame. I'm not sure what's going on with 2016, we've lost a lot of great people. This is my favorite from Ruby...
August 11, 20168 yr Author I believe the above track (her 1st release) was produced by the same Ray Allen who produced the Imaginations (Fraternity) in Cincinnati. That would make sense as Ruby grew up in Cincinnati. The song writer is Charles E Daniels who's supposed to be the country guy Charlie Daniels !!

August 11, 20168 yr I've heard nothing else anywhere about her death, and I can't find the YouTube clip. As the song title goes, "I won't believe it 'til I see it".

I believe it is ... he also composed Little Joe Roman - When You're Lonesome ... (Tuff) A sad loss indeed .... 'Better' is one of my all-time fave femme 45s .... absolute class Andy
August 11, 20168 yr Author An apology has now been posted on Facebook saying that Ruby hasn't passed & apologising to her .... although that wasn't where I got the info from. The posting on one of the youtube videos of her tracks ("Neither One of Us") by the guy saying Ruby is his aunt still states that she has passed, but he may be too embarassed to go back on there & post a retraction. Edited August 11, 20168 yr by Roburt
August 12, 20168 yr Author It seems that there is indeed much confusion everywhere over this matter. It COULD well be that the lady in really bad health (BUT NOT PASSED) is RUBY WILSON ... Ruby is a top live performer in Memphis & at US blues festivals. She's also this Ruby Wilson ...
