Ruby Star, she passed away, she will forever be a legend.
Glad you enjoyed the song. I was Tour Manager for the band back then. And you were right, it was the 70's when the band was at the high point. Ruby, Harvey and Ricky the guitar players have all passed. As well as guitar player Jimmy Henderson who replaced Harvey after that recording. Jim Dandy is still Rockin. Tommy Aldridge the drummer went on to play with Ted Nugent, Ozzy Osborne and White Snake. Jim Dandy was an old song originally done by Lavern Baker. BOA version was produced by Tom Dowd (Google him!) Thanks for the shout out! Rock
I have a funny, true story about Black Oak Arkansas. I was a junior at Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville in 1971. I was heavily involved in the TV production classes during those years. We recorded a 30 minute music show at the SIUE studio that aired on one of the TV stations in St. Louis every Saturday night. The groups we recorded were mostly local bands, but one time Black Oak Arkansas was appearing in St. Louis, and somehow our TV department convinced them to come over to our studios at SIUE and record one of our 30 minute shows. They were just starting to get big nationally and I guess since the show would air on St. Louis TV they thought it would give them more good publicity. So incredibly, they came over and did a 30 minute show in our studio. I ran one of the studio cameras for the entire show. At one point, there was a break in the recording as they decided which songs to finish the show with. While we were waiting around in the studio, the bass player came over to me and looked at the studio camera and said, "Hey man, how do you work this thing? Show me how to run this thing." So, I showed him how everything worked on the camera, and he grabbed it and started zooming around the studio with it. Finally he stopped, and with a big grin on his face, said to me, "Hey, this is fun, man. You know what, I want to run this thing on the next song. Can I run camera on the next song?" I laughed and said, "Well, that's OK with me, but who's gonna play bass?" He stopped and thought for a second, then he turned to me and said, "Well hey, do you know how to play guitar?" I laughed again and said, "No, I really wish I did. But I don't think Jim Dandy would want me on bass anyway." He laughed and said, "No, I guess not. Well, thanks for letting me play around with it. Now, be sure you get some good shots of me on the next song, man." I said, "Oh don't worry, I got you covered." True story. They were great guys and fun to be around. They treated us like we were pros instead of just students. Great memory of my college days so long ago.
You should hear her doing Baby Im Amazed. Ruby Starr is Amazing.
NO ONE, NOOO ONE EVER SANG IT BETTER. THE LATE GREAT RUBY STARR. BORN, CONSTANCE HENRIETTA MIERZWIAK, IN TOLEDO OHIO. 11-30-1949 1-14- 95. GOD BLESS YOU R.I.P. .
Yes, wasn't her band called Red( something)?
What about Jim Dandy? No mention? What about the band? Ruby sung with Black Oak Arkansas at times but she wasn’t in the band.
Yeah man! Ruby baby. This band is kickass and always has been!🤟🤟👍👍
..."Class of 76"...Kingston, Arkansas...Do "Lord Have Mercy on My Soul"...you'll like it!
Saw Black Oak Arkansas several times in the early '70s and they always did a great show.
FUN FACT-The #1 grossing touring act of 1972 was BOA. Where bigger bands like Zeppelin, Stones, Elton etc played 50 shows a year, BOA played over 300 shows a year. The even had their own incorporated city in the Ozarks with it's own post office and zip code. BTW Jim "Dandy" Mangrum was lead vocalist.
The town of Black Oak Arkansas was there before the band. That's where they are from and named band after the town. It's not in the Ozarks either. It's in the Delta of northeast Arkansas.
I remember when this song came out it was a favorite at the school dances and there was a kid called Jim Dandy in every class.
Saw them in concert when I was teenager in 70's awesome song
Popular from about 72-77. Most all dead now except Jim Dandy and Pat Daugherty, the bass player. One of the best live acts ever. Check out "Hotrod" with intro by Jim Dandy. It's hilarious.
Don't forget about Tommy Aldridge the drummer, he is alive!
Nothing more 70's southern high energy rock and roll than BOA with Ruby Star's short dresses and Jim Dandy's rooster walk. Glad you guys dig it.
You two may like Barry white can’t get enough of your love babe. Love this song !!!!
This song was a classic by LaVern Baker in 1955 reached number 17 on the pop charts and number 1 on the r&b charts. It's weird that again somebody requested the cover version.
It must be because of Ruby Starr.
@@garyarnett1220 Are you saying that her version is better than the original by LaVern?
@@themajicman745 No, just more familiar to many. a lot of people haven't heard the 55 version but remember Ruby's stand out voice on this one. I mean it has to be because of her, there's no other reason to request this.
@@themajicman745 I prefer BOA's version. They kinda made it their own considering Jim Dandy was lead vocalist.
I saw this band live in the late 1970s. I think they were the opening band for The Allman Brothers.
They also opened for the stones
Saw them live twice.
Black Oak Arkansas was a 70’s band.
I saw them in 71 they were with Black Sabbath great show. My first concert.
Try (Lord have mercy on my soul)by Black Oak, you will enjoy 😎 thanks 👍
Back when music was FUN!
My brother went to see them & I believe Sly and the family Stone,
BOA toured with everybody, they were everywhere during the 70s
You got that right she was a star, a Ruby Starr!
Man! I was introduced to BOA when I was 16, 1970 what a TRIP…Go JIM DANDY…Go😂
Now do "Hot and Nasty" by them.
I've always thought David Lee Roth got his inspiration from Jim Dandy, the lead singer from Black Oak Arkansas.
Did you notice the high boots? One of my favorites back in the day.
Thank you for listening
You check out her version of McCartney's maybe I'm amazed
Another one of those that just makes you happy. These folks have always been one of my favorite bands. This an old R&B song from the 50's. It was recorded by LaVern Baker. Here is Ruby Starr singing Maybe I'm Amazed by The Beatles. th-cam.com/video/D0FPxuQv2ns/w-d-xo.html
Her name is Ruby Starr
Hot pants were all the rage in the early '70's but I can't swear that Ruby Star was even wearing those. I got turned on to BOA when they opened for Grand Funk Railroad in '71 IIRC. We were all pretty wasted in Houston that night but the next day we were all asking who the opening act was because they were fantastic.
Ruby Starr also fronted her own band Grey Ghost. You can find a few songs on YT.
dont forget the other hit from the band jr. walker and the all stars, what does it take, a love song from early 60's
Go Jim Dandy 🤣
Can you guess what blonde long haired front man got there to look from Jim Dandy?
I know and he took lot of inspiration from him.
No I can't. Who??
@@SK-lk3iu David Lee Roth
@@bloppysloppy2283 Ahhh, thanks!
This 1min interview from J.D.M. tells the story.

Cool song. Awesome reaction!
Please do Sugarloaf Green-Eyed Lady which is a must song reaction to hear thank you😊
Elvis told em to do this song. Jim is quite friendly BTW, no arrogance at all.

Great reaction S & M, Ruby Starr was awesome, rip. BOA, songs, hot & nasty, hot rod, have a great day guys.🤘✌❤
Saw them live. Very entertaining!!!
Jim discovered Ruby Starr in a club, loved her voice. She sang for a long time, did some vegas stuff, passed away to brain cancer unfortunately.
I had the 8-track of this band.
The great Ruby Starr
Arkansas Wavin
Ruby Starr also covered a Joplin song ... Piece of the Heart. Jim Dandy (Black Oak Arkansas) still performs to this day. You should also do Lord Have Mercy on my Soul by BOA.
We saw BOA quite a few times. My friends called me Jann Dandy. We had the time of our lives. Sigh....
Ruby Star !!!
I see where David Lee Roth got his stage personality.
Some of the places Black Oak Arjansas played you could be pretty sure someone would get a wooden chair busted across their head before the end of the first set!.
They stomped a new mudhole in that stage, huh?
or a pool cue
Ruby was great and sexy AF.......she died too young RIP
Backed up ruby and Greystone she's cool as shit😊
Oops my bad graysterr rip ruby
She's great but she's not what you are supposed to be listening to jim dandy is the man
