Terrific. Hidden in the chaos of the music industry. A talent that should have been as well known as Janis, Grace, or Cass. I knew of her through the Black Oak material, but was never exposed to this. I regret the lost years.
The ever beautiful Ruby Starr gracing a stunningly beautiful song . Her voice and McCartneys masterpiece were meant for eachother . Plus - the ever ass kicking Tommy Aldredge on drums . He kicked way too much ass with Black Oak Arkansas , The Pat Travers Band , Ozzy 's Blizzard Of Ozz , Whitesnake , and Ted Nugent . One of rocks top notch drummers ! Saw Jim Dandy and BOA back in '94 or '95 . He gave 100 % live and hung out a bit afterwards . Got an autograph & took pictures .Supercool dude
I saw Ruby many times back in the day. She was one of a kind and I will never understand why she never hit it huge. She moved on much to quickly but I will always remember her.
She was an still is the greatest female rock singer of all time an sooner or later them goober at the R&R HOF will realize give that woman her place where she belongs if you have any doubts listen to her work Grey Ghost,BOA,an her solo stuff
But she was a star at the time of Jim,Dandy to the rescue but she must have had incompetent management I mean she should have been huge what a voice for the ages Ruby's a freakin icon!❤
looking again at this clip i have had for a long time ,, you never heard of her ?? wow i am from australia and love her she up there and i hold her higher then janis joplin well her and pearl .. on the same level we have another one down under ,, who has also passed her name Wendy Saddington worth the look
I Ipersoanally know Connie,sad,when she was diagnosed with cancer,I ran ah club,booked grey Ghost on numerous shows, partied with her.....most vibrant,energentic,smokin hot red-head.....I have ever met.....I miss you.....as do we all....GOD SPEED MY DEAR......!!!!!!
Ruby was great but come on, her place in music history isnt what you claim it to be. In a perfect world it could have been but come on: very few know about Ruby Starr.
Wow! This is the first time I'd ever heard of her. I recognize the voice from Black Oak Arkansas. I'm glad she did some solo work too. Such a strong voice! And I thought Janis was the last of the red hot mamas!
I love this song so much I almost cant watch / listen to it. I know it sounds weird but the way she delivers this songs is just that powerful. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for posting this. Tyrant, a band I helped form was blessed to open for Ruby twice in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The power in her voice resonates to this day and beyond, especially when she sang Take Another Piece of My Heart.
Guy were you in the band? I saw Tyrant was back in maybe 81, 82 in the Lobby of a hotel in Hagerstown MD. Not sure why my friend and I were there. We see these bank looking guys and start talking to them and they tell us they are playing at one of our favorite bars. The Mountain View in Smithsburg MD. So we went and hung out with them late into the morning. Few years later I see Chad Smith on TV with the RHCP. I still have a little promo picture with their signatures. That was back when I was 19 or 20. I was quite the groupie chick. I’m 60 now and watching yourself getting old is a bitch.
Agree Kelly she was so pretty man. I was in love in the 70s with miss Ruby Star. I seen Black Oak two or three times back then. Go Jim Dandy, go Jim Dandy! She should have been a huge success. Man she could sing. RIP beautiful lady.
I met Ruby at a small gig she did in San Bernardino Ca. 1976? She was with Black Foot at the time.. I got up the nerve to knock on the dressing room door and wanted to meet her. She was friendly and open to my visit. I came by the next night to give her one of my paintings, that I only gave when I was infatuated with a girl and ask her to let me do some photos for her. She was such a sweet presence and I was so overwhelmed with her radiant feminine power that I could hardly speak. Just learned of her passing. I'm crying, but also feeling grateful that I got to hang around a little with her three times. There is no way I can explain how it felt to stand 2 feet and be face to face with a person like her! I LOVE RUBY STAR! Peace and Bliss be with her. May we meet again!
Tim Carney , I bet that was a trio of fantastic meetings. I'd have loved to spend a little time with her. I saw her three times live and never met her but everyone that did talks about her the same. They all talk of how nice, sweet she was and had a great aura around her with a humble soul.
Pigpen...your taste in music is GREAT!!! Ruby was an amazing talent. I seen her in 1983 and I never could forget her beautiful face and voice! She was a true Star!! Thankfully we have her music and these videos so she can still spread her light!! :)
Dam I can't believe this is the first time I've heard of ruby star. I remember hearing some of the songs though. she's kinda like Janice Joplin and Steve nicks with a cooler stile.wow beautiful lady sorry I missed her back in the day.
Too bad there is not more out there in the way of video's, seem to be very rare and hard to find....... we met in 1975, my last day of highschool.... Ruby and band got us in the club for 3 songs but also hung out before and after the show. I only got to see her perform one more time, 1976 with Black Oak...........
I photographed Ruby Starr for 2 years in Grey Star and then the switch to Ruby Star Band, she was down to earth and a wonderful person, I am trying to find the people in Milwaukee that recorded all the concerts!! I am the person handing Fred the beer bottle for his slide then leaning into the speaker at the stage!! I want copies please post...
One of the few female vocalists who could balance the incredible Jim Dandy. Amazing voice, stage presence and of course looks. A brilliant example of a musical era that can ever be duplicated and we’’ll never see again. Thank you Ruby. Thank you JD and BOA. May your music live forever.
+John Pearson I hear ya there She opened for many big name acts Black Sabbath is one of them I recall also Edgar Winter. She also toured with Black Foot in 1977 1978 Why she never hit the made it Big is a mystery to me The recording industry totally missed a lady with some real talent & charisma that's for sure
Music was still pretty regional back in the 1970's. I was all over the country working and I'd mention someone like Connie, or Bob Seger, Ted Nugent, Triumph......Dumb blank faces staring back at me. They took a long time to escape the Midwest and Canada
Maybe I'm amazed that such a gorgeous girl with such a huge voice existed. I love you Ruby. I miss you. I wish that you were still here. Rest In Paradise Angel. Constance...Such a beautiful name for such a beautiful girl.❤🕯❤
A Wisconsin classic!! I remember her with her own band performing in Northern Wisconsin back in the 70's....she was electrifying!!! Great video, thanks for sharing.
@@johnsprague7068 I saw her at a place called "The Barn" near Townshend, WI It was literally a big giant old barn that someone turned into a bar with live entertainment. A great Wisconsin Roadhouse. It burnt to the ground either in the 80's or early 90's I believe.
I was an espiring young bassist in the mid 70's... It was Don Kershner's "Rock Concert" that exposed me to all that was music back then... That's where I saw Ruby Starr for the first time... Caught her live show twice after that. I've recently taken the bass seat in a band in S/W Florida with female front person who is a little reminisent to me of Ruby... I'm come back to Ruby Starr's music for inspiration... RIP Ruby, you were ahead of your time...
Saw Black Oak Arkansas at Boutwell Auditorium in Birmingham,Al. mid 1970's. Immediately fell in love with music. And Jim Dandy strutting all over the stage with that gravel sounding voice was the best. No band did a live show like them. I bought me a pair of boots that resembled what Jim Dandy. I bought every album they had out at the time. Yep love BOA!!
Iknow how all that came to be....Grey Star Band,Ruby Star band,Grey Ghost.....ALL that AFTER Black Oak when she moved to Milwaukee.....MY club.....was in Port Washington......so....I know.....
Ruby was totally underated , and her looks and vocals were outstanding!
Now this is TALENT! NONE OF TODAYS AUTO TUNED BIMBOS CAN TOP THIS
Terrific. Hidden in the chaos of the music industry. A talent that should have been as well known as Janis, Grace, or Cass. I knew of her through the Black Oak material, but was never exposed to this. I regret the lost years.
She was a helluva vocalist. Sad early ending to her life. RIP Ruby, you are a STARR
The ever beautiful Ruby Starr gracing a stunningly beautiful song . Her voice and McCartneys masterpiece were meant for eachother .
Plus - the ever ass kicking Tommy Aldredge on drums . He kicked way too much ass with Black Oak Arkansas , The Pat Travers Band , Ozzy 's Blizzard Of Ozz , Whitesnake , and Ted Nugent . One of rocks top notch drummers !
Saw Jim Dandy and BOA back in '94 or '95 . He gave 100 % live and hung out a bit afterwards . Got an autograph & took pictures .Supercool dude
Great version with one of the best female voices of all time. Truly never had there recognition she deserved.
I saw Ruby many times back in the day. She was one of a kind and I will never understand why she never hit it huge. She moved on much to quickly but I will always remember her.
And that is why she never made it huge. There wasn't time. Such a shame, she was another Tina Turner.
She was an still is the greatest female rock singer of all time an sooner or later them goober at the R&R HOF will realize give that woman her place where she belongs if you have any doubts listen to her work Grey Ghost,BOA,an her solo stuff
She was so beautiful and had such a dynamic voice. Boy she sure is missed.
I WORKED WITH HER SHE WAS A GREAT PERSON AND SUPER TALENTED IS VERY MISSED, SOME VIDEOS ON YOU TUBE DENIEL EDWARDS TRIBUTE FOR RUBY STARR,RIP.
edwards youtube
I've never heard of her before, other than her part in Jim Dandy. She's fantastic and should have been a star.
She's fantastic I love her
She was one hell of a musician and just plain old good people Miss seeing her and the band Many fond memories of her shows
But she was a star at the time of Jim,Dandy to the rescue but she must have had incompetent management I mean she should have been huge what a voice for the ages Ruby's a freakin icon!❤
looking again at this clip i have had for a long time ,, you never heard of her ?? wow i am from australia and love her she up there and i hold her higher then janis joplin well her and pearl .. on the same level we have another one down under ,, who has also passed her name Wendy Saddington worth the look
Saw her doing this in concert in Springfield MO, back in the seventies. Best rendition of this song anyone has ever sung. Have never forgotten it.
Oh beautiful Ruby, I was there in 1978, and I'm here now, missing you, ANGEL.
What a voice! She belted out that tune with passion. Awesome!
🙏🏻❤️🔥
Ruby was a once in a lifetime performer. Nobody could touch then and nobody comes close now. RIP beautiful girl 😍
Rick, "performer" ... great description ~
WOW this woman has one hell of a vocal range
I was still a kid when BOA took her in and I just didn't get it. But looking at this - I do. What a voice, and what a fox. RIP, Ruby.
That shy little look at the end that seems to say, "Well, I'm done, did you like my song"? precious!
amazing lady!!!!! gorgeous voice! so sad she passed so young! RIP Ruby! you are a Star!
I had the pleasure of seeimg Miss Starr with BOA in the late 70's and she ROCKED ASS! Bought her album and still enjoy it. RIP Ruby Starr. I Love You.
One of the most beautiful woman I ever saw❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I Ipersoanally know Connie,sad,when she was diagnosed with cancer,I ran ah club,booked grey Ghost on numerous shows, partied with her.....most vibrant,energentic,smokin hot red-head.....I have ever met.....I miss you.....as do we all....GOD SPEED MY DEAR......!!!!!!
Wow! She so captivating! RIP Ruby
I just became a HUGE Ruby Starr fan! RIP Ruby..
I seen boa in 1975 Ruby was only backup at the time, but was incredibly gorgeous and talented!
Can't decide which was more impressive - her hair, her body, or her voice. What a beautiful, talented lady!
" This Woman sang from Her Soul "......POWERFUL !!!!!!!
Ruby,Was The Face,The Body, And The Voice,To Pick Up It Up After Janice!!! And Paved The Way For All Female Artist Thereafter!!!...ect.....
Ruby was great but come on, her place in music history isnt what you claim it to be. In a perfect world it could have been but come on: very few know about Ruby Starr.
Gets me teary-eyed chills up and down my back.............beautiful
Same here
lncredible voice!!
Now, THAT is what they originally referred to as BIG HAIR!!
She was a one of a kind. What a cover! We miss you Ruby!
Phenomenal vocalist. Probably the most underrated vocalist of all time.
098chance
You need to get out of your bomb shelter more often..You obviously haven't heard many women singers..!
"Underrated". Here we go again.
What a voice,what a woman...R.I.P. Ruby
She had a beautiful voice.
Possibly Black oak’s finest hour here!
she wouldn't even make it on AGT today. pretty bad Janis Joplin act.
I say screw u tube all to hell 😁for they suck the big "*Ones with JOY. 😁
The kind of performer you remember the first time you see her.
Wow!
Ruby sounds great!
The Band is perfect!
They nailed this performance!
Wow! This is the first time I'd ever heard of her. I recognize the voice from Black Oak Arkansas. I'm glad she did some solo work too. Such a strong voice! And I thought Janis was the last of the red hot mamas!
Ya ruby was a lil foxx that's fore God miss that lil lady Tok from us way too soon.
Wow. I do Remember her from back in the day, And Certainly Remember Jim Dandy too. Ruby Starr had a beautiful voice
I love this song so much I almost cant watch / listen to it. I know it sounds weird but the way she delivers this songs is just that powerful. Thanks for posting.
Ruby always was a powerful singer Wish she hadn't left us so soon. Cancer claimed her some years back
Her eyes give me chills they are so captivating
Watched Ruby Starr at the Shuffle Inn, Madison, Wisconsin many nights. She was amazing!!
Incredible! Aside from Ruby's stellar and captivating performance, some great guitar also! Best cover of this song ever!
Faces version just edges it for me .Rod is absolutely on fire .She was something special though.
I'm chilean and i love rock, i love Ruby. I like her voice
The best version I've ever heard of this song, outside of the Wings live version we all know.
The studio version is better. Paul's voice still sounds Beatlesque. His voice sounds strained on the live version.
Brings back a lot of memories watching her every Monday night at the Jabborwocky in Milwaukee back in the 80's. RIP, Ruby.
Thanks for posting this. Tyrant, a band I helped form was blessed to open for Ruby twice in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The power in her voice resonates to this day and beyond, especially when she sang Take Another Piece of My Heart.

@@jaray7710Yep. Father Time is undefeated. However memories are fresh and the flesh is insignificant. All the best for you and yours going forward.
I loved this woman! When she was with Grey Ghost, that was the best music I ever heard. Your fans miss you, Ruby. We will always love you!!!
So blessed I got to see her with BOA in the 70's. I still listen to 2 of her albums on cd in my car often.
Agree Kelly she was so pretty man. I was in love in the 70s with miss Ruby Star. I seen Black Oak two or three times back then. Go Jim Dandy, go Jim Dandy! She should have been a huge success. Man she could sing. RIP beautiful lady.

Probably wouldn't happen at a Taylor swift concert?!?!?
@Fuzzy Butkus Dude was an early version soyboy

Jim Dandy introduces songs like a radio show host.
The little smirk at the end. Love love love you Ruby Starr
Saw her at a club called The Likely Story in Aurora Illinois. She just plain kicked ASS. Rest In Peace Sweetheart...
Ruby Starr, the ultimate redhead. RIP Girl.
Natural beauty and talent ❤️

Maybe I'm amazed at how great you sound! Rest in peace Ruby darling.
Dandy may not have the looks he did in his prime but he is still out there rockin with BOA
Piper Dandy has a TH-cam blog, and tshirt sales to help out her Dad.
I jammed with her @Corporation in Chicago. (LOMBARD) Next to Tina, Janis, next RUBY.

(RIP) Ruby Star...and Yes you are Loved & Missed...and will always be a Star to me...!!!
She has an incredible voice, and look!
If released today & it would be top of the country and Rock charts
Great voice!
This stirred my 14 year old self back to life.... 35 yrs later....
Absolutely awesome , how is it that Ruby was not better known, . WHAT an Amazing talent and soul singer!!!!!
I'm amazed by her voice
I photographed Ruby Starr for 2 years in Grey Star and then the switch to Ruby Star Band, she was down to earth and a wonderful person, I am trying to find the people in Milwaukee that recorded all the concerts!! I am the person handing Fred the beer bottle for his slide then leaning into the speaker at the stage!! I want copies please post...
An awesome voice for Rock and Roll…. I wish she had more opportunities to reach bigger audiences ❤
OMG Ruby, I love and miss you so much.. Gone way to soon.. Thanks
The best female vocalist ever.
She had the looks, the stage presence and the voice but never got a break. Never understood it.
One of the few female vocalists who could balance the incredible Jim Dandy. Amazing voice, stage presence and of course looks. A brilliant example of a musical era that can ever be duplicated and we’’ll never see again. Thank you Ruby. Thank you JD and BOA. May your music live forever.
So glad I got to see her sing!
Lordy , takes me back to my teen years . She was a badass
Good Lord,
what a voice! Why wasn't she a superstar in the 70s?
+John Pearson I hear ya there She opened for many big name acts Black Sabbath is one of them I recall also Edgar Winter. She also toured with Black Foot in 1977 1978 Why she never hit the made it Big is a mystery to me The recording industry totally missed a lady with some real talent & charisma that's for sure
agree!!
Probably a lack of promotion from her record company. Capital I believe.
Music was still pretty regional back in the 1970's. I was all over the country working and I'd mention someone like Connie, or Bob Seger, Ted Nugent, Triumph......Dumb blank faces staring back at me. They took a long time to escape the Midwest and Canada
John Pearson t
Miss Ruby , sassy, confidence , great voice and had a body of Venus . What a woman she was. RIP
Connie does it so good !
Cheers 02/11/2022
fantastic in every way one of the best covers ever !!!
Here's to Ruby........a gem of a lady. 🌹
She's so pretty and what a voice
Saw Ruby alot at the clubs in Milwaukee in the 70's. Grey Star they rocked, RIP Ruby.
Such a beautiful rendition. A truly great singer, much better than many who are far more well known.
Maybe I'm amazed that such a gorgeous girl with such a huge voice existed. I love you Ruby. I miss you. I wish that you were still here. Rest In Paradise Angel. Constance...Such a beautiful name for such a beautiful girl.❤🕯❤
What an amazing voice. You were a Starr for sure
A Wisconsin classic!! I remember her with her own band performing in Northern Wisconsin back in the 70's....she was electrifying!!! Great video, thanks for sharing.
Would that have been at the Modernaire near Eagle River?
Saw So many times with grey Starr what a band they were 2 crazy good 2 singers and acrobatic guitar tricks!

Saw her with Black Oak Arkansas on several occasions... definition of innocence and and showmanship tied together... RIP Miss Ruby.
This is awesome! It's always funny how much JD sounds like an old timey TV preacher.
OMG...this gives me goosebumps...so many memories....
