Ruby & The Romantics - Our Day Will Come: The Very Best Of Ruby & The Romantics [2CD] (2003)
Ruby & the Romantics have been poorly served by best-of collections, which are too brief and skimpy. This two-CD, 42-song set goes too far in the other direction, and not everything on here is exciting or worthy of multiple listens by any means. Still, too much is better than too little, and this does thoroughly cover the prime era of the original lineup at Kapp from 1963-1967. On the plus side, this convincingly demonstrates that there was more depth and quality than is commonly acknowledged to a group that is often remembered only for one song ("Our Day Will Come") or regarded as a lightweight pop-soul group. There are numerous good blends of girl group Brill Building pop and smooth soul (and, often, light to heavy touches of bossa nova) on disc one in particular. Star tracks include the soaring Van McCoy composition "When You're Young and in Love," the doo wop-indebted "Moonlight and Music" (penned by the Romantics' Leroy Fann), the obscure Bacharach/David ballad "I Cry Alone," the booming uptown soul production of "Does He Really Care for Me," the delicate bossa nova of "Our Everlasting Love," and, above all, the delicious "Hey There Lonely Boy," eventually reworked into a number two hit in 1969 by Eddie Holman as "Hey There Lonely Girl." Unfortunately, much of disc two is stuffed with dull covers of pop standards that filled out their early LPs. If the standards were omitted, this would be a highly credible and varied anthology, staking a fair claim for the band as an underrated outfit in the poppiest segment of early soul. For the record, all but one of these tracks date from their stint with Kapp; oddly, one post-Kapp cut, the 1968 ABC single "No More," is thrown in too.

Ruby & The Romantics - Our Day Will Come: The Very Best Of Ruby & The Romantics [2CD] (2003)

For lovers of American vocal groups, 1963 was a vintage year and the last in which the home team had the field more or less to themselves. In those innocent months before the hairy hordes from across the pond would tear down the walls of Tin Pan Alley, US teens luxuriated in the chart-topping sounds of the Essex, the Chiffons, the 4 Seasons, the Angels, and the Tymes, with the Ronettes, Vandellas & Jaynetts all snapping at their heels. One of the tastier titbits amidst this smorgasbord of goodies was Our Day Will Come, the sublime debut of Ruby & the Romantics, four guys and a gal from Akron, Ohio. With so many of their contemporaries feted today, Ruby & the Romantics are often overlooked in the ranks of the great vocal groups. But make no mistake, they were a fabulous act; the silky, intensely layered and often adventurous harmonies of the male quartet always supplying the perfect counterpoint to one of the greatest lead vocalists of the era, the immaculate Ruby Nash. RPM present the highlights of their career for the Kapp label, 1963-1966 on a comprehensive double CD collection. This includes the big No.1 and title track here, the original versions of ‘Hey There Lonely Girl’ (a hit for Eddie Holman in 1974), ‘When You’re Young And In Love’ (a hit in 1967 for the Marvelettes and for the Flying Picketts in 1984), plus their other Pop and R&B chart picks. This gorgeous package also contains an essay by noted 60’s girl-group collectors Mick Patrick and Malcolm Baumgart.
