Roburt Posted August 10, 2016 Author Share Posted August 10, 2016 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 .... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Tommypotts Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 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... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Roburt Posted August 11, 2016 Author Share Posted August 11, 2016 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 !!

Gene-R Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 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". Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Roburt Posted August 11, 2016 Author Share Posted August 11, 2016 (edited) 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.

Roburt Posted August 12, 2016 Author Share Posted August 12, 2016 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.
