Ruby & The Romantics was an American early 1960s R'n'B group, frequently considered a one-hit wonder, which topped the charts once with 1963's "Our Day Will Come", written by Mort Garson and Bob Hilliard. Ruby Nash Curtis (born November 12 1939, Akron, Ohio), the female lead of the group, originally sang with an all-girl group, consisting of her sister and two friends. They sang at record hops, mixers, talent shows and clubs in Akron and surrounding areas. Some of the male members of the Romantics sang with The Embers. Eventually, The Embers became known as The Supremes (not to be confused with Detroit's The Supremes of Motown Records fame). Since they all grew up in Akron and knew each other, Leroy Fann, a member of The Supremes, asked Curtis to sing with them on occasions. The group auditioned for and was signed to Kapp Records, and the group changed their name from The "Supremes" to "Ruby and the Romantics". An Abraham Lin
