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.

 

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 ....

 

See you later Ruby.....R.I.P

Thanks for the memories Ruby. May your soul rest in peace.

Steve

Sad loss RIP Ruby

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...

 

Rest in Peace Ruby...

 

 

 

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 !!

Any idea of what she died of ?

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".

 

One of my all time faves

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

Sad indeed x

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.

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 ...

Have edited  the title to reflect the above

This is not the first time that this has happened with such news

ask that in future that anyone posting such news gives as a bare minimum an actual link to the source of the news

Now closing this thread to avoid any further misunderstandings.
