OUR DAY WILL COME - Ruby and the Romantics

Ruby & the Romantics was an American R&B group in the 1960s. They had several pop and R&B hit records, but are sometimes wrongly considered as a one-hit wonder for topping the US Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1963 with their first recording, "Our Day Will Come", written by Mort Garson and Bob Hilliard. It sold over one million copies in the US, and peaked at #38 in the UK Singles Chart. Ruby Nash, the female lead of the group, originally sang with a group, consisting of her sister and three friends. They sang at record hops, mixers, talent shows and clubs in Akron and surrounding areas. Ruby attended Central High School in Akron. No one knew she could sing until after she graduated from high school. Some of the male members of the Romantics sang with The Embers. Eventually, The Embers became known as The Supremes[citation needed] (not to be confused with Detroit's The Supremes, of Motown Records fame), and then The Feilos.
