Belfast born singer Ruby Murray.Best known for her big hit of the Fifties
"Softly Softly". A song popular at the local Palais. (Especially as the last waltz.)
Happy days all gone now. Her name lives on as cockney rhyming slang for curry.

Beautiful song !!

Shalimar was a popular perfume at the time. Great song!
Strictly Cash, the Johnny Cash tribute band.

any idea what the "Shalimar" referred to in this and several other songs is supposed to be? I understand that that it was a type of diamond but "the breeze as sweet as shalimar" does not seem right in that context. There's certainly no shalimar in Ireland that I know of - isn't it a Persian term?

God bless Ruby

I'm Irish too. At least me great-great grandfather come from the Old Sod.
Alas, I can't sing. I'm a good listener though. Have lots of recordings of music
from Ireland, Scotland, etc.
