RUBY ANDREWS - CASANOVA (YOUR PLAYING DAYS ARE OVER)


Here's another great summit of Chicago and Detroit soul!

Arranged by Detroit's legendary Mike Terry, this record finds then 20-year old Ruby Andrews striking the biggest hit of her career (#9 R&B) powering through a song co-written by another Chicago legend (Jo Armstead). I LOVE the lo-fi, late night sound of this record.

from 1967...

Of course 'Coffee' had a big hit with this in 1980. Nice to hear the original version.

Thanks

She did an updated version (Casanova '70) on her album "Everybody Saw You," also on Zodiac. (Conceivably the only LP Zodiac ever released.) Anybody know who's responsible for the great bass line on the original? Could it be James Jamerson, who was known to moonlight?
