Ruby And The Romantics - Our Day Will Come

Review by peter clarke

Our Day Will Come by Ruby And The Romantics: A Soulful Time Capsule That Still Hits Different If you’re looking for an album that feels like a warm hug on a cold day, Our Day Will Come by Ruby And The Romantics might just be your new favorite thing. Released in 1980 but carrying vibes from decades before, this record is a mix of soul, pop, and easy listening with enough rhythm & blues to make your heart skip a beat—or three. It’s one of those albums that doesn’t try too hard yet manages to stick around in your head long after the needle lifts off the vinyl. Let’s talk about two tracks that really stood out to me—“Our Day Will Come” and “Young Wings Can Fly.” “Our Day Will Come,” the title track, is pure magic. You know how sometimes a song comes along and it’s like it was written specifically for whatever mood you’re in? Yeah, that’s this one. Ruby Nash’s vocals are smooth as butter, gliding over the lush arrangement by Leroy Kirkland. There’s something so hopeful yet bittersweet about the lyrics—it’s like she knows life ain’t always sunshine, but damn if she won’t keep believing anyway. I can almost picture myself sitting by a window during golden hour, letting the melody wash over me while thinking about all the dreams I haven’t given up on yet. Honestly? It’s impossible not to feel seen when listening to this. Then there’s “Young Wings Can Fly,” which hits different every time. Eddie Roberts’ tenor vocals add this layer of sweetness that makes the whole thing feel like a pep talk from someone who believes in you more than you believe in yourself. It’s uplifting without being cheesy, motivational without feeling forced. When they sing, “Higher than you know,” it’s like permission to dream bigger, aim higher, and maybe even take a leap of faith—even if you’re scared spitless. This track reminds me of late-night drives where everything feels possible, even though reality says otherwise. What strikes me most about this album isn’t just the music itself; it’s the people behind it. From Leroy Kirkland’s masterful conducting to Allen Stanton’s production chops, everyone involved poured their soul into this project. And let’s not forget Ruby Nash—her voice is the glue holding it all together. She doesn’t just sing; she tells stories, pulling emotions out of you that you didn’t even realize were hiding in there. But here’s the kicker: despite its polished sound, Our Day Will Come never loses its humanity. It’s imperfect in the best way, kind of like how real life is messy but beautiful at the same time. Listening to it feels less like consuming art and more like having a conversation with old friends. Oh, and fun fact—the album was released across multiple countries, including Rhodesia, Hong Kong, and France. Like, imagine hearing “Lonely People Do Foolish Things” blasting through speakers halfway across the world back then. Wild, right? So yeah, if you’re vibing with soulful tunes that remind you of simpler times (even if those times only exist in your imagination), give Our Day Will Come a spin. Just don’t blame me if you find yourself daydreaming about moonlight and music—or wondering why no one writes songs like this anymore.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s something cool: The album *Our Day Will Come* by Ruby and The Romantics has a wild backstory. It came out in 1980, but the title track was originally released way back in 1963. That song became their biggest hit, topping the charts and making them household names. What’s even crazier? The album found its way into multiple countries like Rhodesia, Hong Kong, and Australia, showcasing how timeless their sound really is. Soulful vocals, lush arrangements, and heartfelt lyrics made it resonate across decades and continents. Not bad for a group that started as just friends singing together!

This was one of the most played party songs in the Bronx at the time. It is also a great example of background vocals that are just as stellar as the lead singer. That opening just hooks you right from the start. Thank you for sharing.
