Ruby and the Romantics - Our Day Will Come (Live)

[SamofCR]

After all the comments about the Amy Winehouse version, I finally had to listen to it. What a piece of crap. The horrible nasal whine was unbearable. If you want to hear it like it should be, listen to Ruby.

[MrJ20tower]

A song that will stand the test of time. Just a beautiful song. Can listen to it over and over again.

[sthpac69]

I was 13 then in Saint Louis Mo. I heard this song at by brothers house in the Gaslight Square area on Mcpherson and i fell in love with it right away.

[MrMalamonga]

Ahhhh! She still have that Heavenly voice!!

[GrYzGrL]

I like this original version. Very nice! I'm glad Amy Winehouse brought it back to my generation!

[misterman1st]

And to think I was born 1 year after release date... WOW

[misterman1st]

This brings shivers down my spine oooh what a feeling.....

[mokacode]

Doesn't bring back any memories from back in the day as this song was quite unheard over my place...I came across that song more than 40 years after it came out .I was but 6 in 63 but it makes no doubt that if I were American I would still remember that song...

[curtisjones400]

1963 will hold a special place in all of our hearts because it was the same year that we lost President John Kennedy i was aslo 7 years old

[desariec]

she still sounds pretty good:)

[NickRatnieks]

This song is on a special plane of its own and Ruby recreates the magic that this song brought back in 1963 when it first came out.

[chuckbuckbobuck]

@blkshepherd---I am glad things did get better for you and your mother. Overcoming adversity is tough in this U.S. of A. but people do do it and it sounds like you did--fantastic.

[1948ian]

1963...ahh things were different then. We were different..But one thing will never change.  Listening to the beautiful sound of Ruby singing Our Day Will Come....

[zorro1955]

ditto

[pungooer]

Isn't there some really nice comments on this page.....goes to show you all us oldies born in that era aint that bad after all...lol....thank you so much for posting..really appreciate it. P.S and thanks to the nice young people that posted as well.

[lostboy185]

ok song but Amy Winehouse takes it to a whole new level and her version is so much better

[surawudhman]

@lostboy185 No she didn't. Her version got no soul. It is thin and one dimension. Her voice has done nothing to improve the great melodies as well. What a shame.

[robin56]

can't hear it.

[sockmagnet]

Wow! It sounds as good as the original!! I dread hearing people sing their by-gone hits when they are older because they never sound right. The backup singers are right on tune!

[fncz]

@sockmagnet thanks it was Sid Hill and Ron Crawley of Pure Gold with Frank Czuri (middle) a former PG member.

[Flytownn]

I was 13 years old and we had a doo wopp group that sang under the street lights to the girls in our neighborhood. We sang this every night..........days gone by.........

[DooWopJoe]

@Flytownn

Hey, great stuff. Love getting comments like this. Gotta love Ruby!

[Flytownn]

@DooWopJoe

This jam is timeless. I still sing this to my grand kids. They know every word.....I make sure of that!!!!

I would love to meet Ruby and the Romantics and tell them how they changed my life for the better. Love them all!!!!!!

Flytown

[blkshepherd]

@Flytownn sorry to be the bearer of Bad news..but all Four of the Original Romantics on this Song are Dead. they all died..check Google. sad Only Ruby is still alive..None of the guys backing her on this live version are the Romantics. none. but they do a good job though. Even one of the group members that wrote the song is dead now.

[Flytownn]

@blkshepherd

Thanks for the up-date my friend. I still love this jam and always will..........be safe!

Flytown.

[Kachni08]

@Flytownn when i was a child, my mother often sang this song and i guess she heard it from her mother when she was a child too lol

[HENRYFOLEY]

Great tune, quite a lot of artist have covered this song.

[firechiefretired]

Was getting ready to ship out overseas when this song came about. Brings back allot of memories with my girlfriend I was about to leave and filled many moments with reflection of happy safe times back in the states . The oldies music era is missed by many .

[SvetlanaSiberia]

[DooWopJoe]

@keybobrob

[AbdullahIbnBilal1]

Just one of many tear-jerkers I listen to! As soon as the first two chords play, I brace for the voice. Love this.

[Os151985]

What a great singer. The harmonies, the arrangement, and lyrics.The day this song was recorded in the studio. It was like catching lightning in a bottle. Thnx for the posting of this one.

[tofelt]

CONVINCE me that fifty years from now we will be listening to the stuff they are playing on the radio now. 50 years from now we will STILL be listening to MOTOWN and OUR DAY WILL COME.

[SvetlanaSiberia]

Великолепно! Бесподобно! Превосходно!

Great! Excellent! SUPER!!!

[speedoflite1]

a heavenly classic. heavenly sung.

[blkshepherd]

Tears roll down my cheeks thinking back to When I was 7yrs old back in 1963.. I came home from school one day and found my mother crying.. ..i walked over to her and I told her."Our Day will come, mama..dont cry..Our day will come." It did..we spent many a wonderful year together until she passed Oct 23, 2008 at 94. yes mama..Our Day Will Come. She told me that story many times after I had became an adult. This song will always have a special meaning to me. and draw tears.

[DooWopJoe]

@blkshepherd

It is comments like this that make it worthwhile to spend all the time uploading these videos.

[blkshepherd]

@DooWopJoe Thank you..I had No idea Ruby sang Live this so many years later. And a pretty good job too. thanks Mr. Doowop Joe. This hit so close to home..kids today dont realize if not for these pioneers..there would be No Lady ga ga, justin beiber or any of that Noise they call music today. DOOWOP FOREVER!

[fossie32]

[zorro1955]

WOW! I TOO was 7 when this song came out, and it`s so beautiful, then, and still is now

[blkshepherd]

@zorro1955 Hello there 1963! LoL it is So GOOD to talk to some one who has the same memories as myself and Lived through the years I have. and Still Alive (and mentally sane) to remember! Wasent it Just Great being a child back in 1963?! You Confirm that I didnt Dream this time and era up, or this haunting Beautiful song.

[zorro1955]

hey there again, i was in the 3rd grade when this song came out, and my mom played it a lot, and brought back memories, and i`m still alive n kicking

[blkshepherd]

@zorro1955 Great, Moms would get a misty look in her eyes whenever it would be played..Yes that makes two of us still Alive and Kicking.but i really would like to Go back to this year and hangout about a month or so. lol.u know how they did on those old movies like Dark Shadows they would frequently Return to the Past. During this time all monster and sci fi movies(chiller theater) scared the Pants off me and I had Many Nightmares as a child dreaming of monsters LoL..and still do if eat to late

[zorro1955]

back then, we had house parties, and that song was played a lot. i`d LOVE to go back to that era for a month, and hang out, listen to those oldies

[robert140602]

@blkshepherd  Made me cry like a baby,I hope your Mama had a wonderful life.xx

[blkshepherd]

@robert140602 she did robert..she really did. I dont know if i am made of the Right stuff to live as long as she did. I miss her every waking day of my life and when this song comes on the oldies station..or my Mp3. I just get misty eyed..and stare into space as a lump rises in my throat. Amazing the Emotions and Memories a Song can evoke. didnt mean to make you cry :-( ..wish i had a dollar for every tear I shed when moms passed that fateful day in October 08. and since.

[zorro1955]

i too was 7 when this song came out. i was sweet on this gurl in my class (charmine tucker) and hummed this song to her. she never gave me the time of day though, but what da hell. it`s the memories that counts

[heswan]

Classic Voice & Music. One of my favorites when i was a n 8 yr old kid.

[justloveballads]

The song, as well as Ruby and The Romantics are beautiful. Thank you Ruby.

[juan58102]

Tear, tear tears, falling from my eyes!!! Thanks for the posting.

[MOGGS1942]

Isn't she just terrific.Fantastic song.

[darchylde612]

[ian3150]

[1968vigi]

God Bless Ruby Nash. Keeping the sound alive and sounds just as good as then. Beautiful person and a sound just as beautiful.

[hardsly]

what a magical song beautifully sung...

[vallaport]

Great and more. Thanks for the memories.....

[oldiehappy40]

She still sounds so good!! I especially like that evangelist walk she has leaving the stage!!

[IamHisSheep]

To listen makes you just want to believe in all the magic of youth again.

[boutteperry]

So elegant and classy,obviously left show biz for Godly convictions.So beautiful and

talented

[SweetSue4]

I used to see Ruby working the cash register at The Barberton Salvation Army Store. I believe she is now long since retired.

[seanmillerr]

she sings just like sugar.

[babbelballetje]

what a sweet performance!

[robertowlalbuquerque]

Noone can sings this music like Ruby. The music and she are the same thing

[robertowlalbuquerque]

I listened this music in 1963. I was enchanted with this music. But here in Brazil it was impossible to find in the stores. Cause it was not issued here. ever I was looking for, but it becomes impossible to find. I never listened again until 1975 when I found in a colection.It was very exciting. And now, see Ruby singing in this video, made cry. My life passed to fast.....

[DickAllen4HOF]

@robertowlalbuquerque Does not her crystal clear voice and subdued style remind you of your samba, jazz, and pop great Astrud Gilberta?

[robertowlalbuquerque]

Im listining again and again....I cant stop singing this song today

[robertowlalbuquerque]

Não me canso de assistir a este vídeo

[robertowlalbuquerque]

The first time I see Ruby and the romantics live. I think there is no one video of them from 1963. Despite I´m here in Brazil. I have beautifuls memories cause this music.

[MICKEYSMONKEY]

one of the purest and most beautful one hit wonder cuts of all time...........timeless.

[correct1doc]

3rd grade and this song along with Johnny Angel were already beginning to shape a sense of the scope of romance; from boundless optimism to tragic disappointment. l

[robertowlalbuquerque]

@correct1doc I didnt understanding notting

[LightSnowOvernight]

it takes me back to a carefree youth....lovely song

[Theknopf]

After all these years Ruby looks GOOD! Her Day is Everyday! No tears for Us!

[Maria1953able]

nice to see her !!! Beautiful songs with pleasant memories. Thank you.

[hollies65]

Wonderful...simply wonderful.

[kpitt1204]

She sounds so clear. I am so impressed. Classic song. I used to sing this for auditions.

[cpartida6969]

i first heard this song on a cover album called women of ska and i feel in love with it, but the original is just as great. love is wonderful.

[042442]

As good as ever. One of my favorites. Great job.

[miketlow]

Looking good and sounding like 1963!!

[CheckMate657879]

Wow - almost 40 years later and she still has smooth, cool sound.

[N2itv2]

Both still kicking strong, Ruby and The Romantics--Ok, a good representation of the The Romantics! De-lovely! Eternally hot song!!!

[Cherico]

shes gotten better with age.

[boutteperry]

Wonderful to See This,What a fantastic performer and performance.Ruby looks

well.

[krob590]

Rudy & the Romantics put Akron, OH on the map with first Top 40 pop\rock hit to come out of the Rubber City. She still sounds great too.
