A really good, informative and poignant documentary. Ruby had that rare gift; of touching and moving the listener at a deep level. She made such beautiful records and seemed like such a beautiful spirit. RIP Ruby.
to share this story , of ruby murray , is an honor , as a lover of her music , i would love to share this story , which ive never heard ,but i do not wish to create my own channel , i just wish to share it , as it has been shared with me , thank you for letting me watch it
Just found this by accident. I knew of it but couldn't find it to download. Thank you so much for sharing this! I knew Ruby back in the day and I was moved to tears. A truly wonderful person.
I was just four months old when Ruby passed away. I feel slightly lucky that Ruby was still alive on the day I was born. If Ruby was still alive today, I would have had a chance to meet her.
Larry Wyse Thanks for the comment Larry. We are lucky we have people like Duke Special to make those that came after Ruby aware of just how great a talent she was.
I found it an honour to be head barman at The Strand Hotel when she use to come in some evenings down in Torquay, and my oh my what a laugh we used to have. Her family were lovely and we recalled her son's appearance on New Faces I think it was. I even got to meet Noele Gordon from Crossroads, thanks to Ruby. God Bless you RIP x
She was a superstar in her day and i only got to know her, from a wiki page about the Frankie Howerd movie "A touch of the sun". Which i saw a few times and always wondered who the Irish character was in the movie. Today shes almost completely forgotten and in obscurity, back then a well known superstar....Time is so funny.
Thanks so much for the comment Completely agree. Ruby was an amazing person and it's clear Duke Special thinks the same. Even recording a mini album of her songs and then a live performance of Ruby songs with the RTE Orchestra.
Sad, isn't it? She had such talent, yet her early life was surrounded by those orange people in Belfast. She must have been so conflicted; expressing love and tenderness, surrounded by such hatred. I can only imagine that it was like a young German girl in the mid 1930s seeing a boy who was not Aryan. I suppose she carried conflict throughout her life. I thought that the man at 5:19 was quite nice, though. He had quite nice memories of her.
A fine documentary about a wonderful artist. Love her music.
thank you for sharing this wonderfully insightful documentary.
Ruby Murray had a great voice and I loved her and there will never be another voice like hers

loved this thank you so much
You are welcome Jeanette. Well worth picking up a copy of Duke Special's "The songs of Ruby Murray" from his website or on Ebay.
Thank you
Isn't i ironic that Ruby's name will live on not only in her music,but as a (newish) Cockney Rhyming Slang word~
