Episode Details

R&B legend Ruby Andrews, whose soul-stirring voice defined generations of music, has passed away at 79. Rising to fame with the crossover smash “Casanova (Your Playing Days Are Over)” in 1967, she became a staple of the Apollo Theater and toured the world — but her legacy goes far beyond one hit. With timeless tracks like “You Made a Believer (Out of Me)” and “Everybody Saw You,” she built a five-decade career that also included founding her own label, Genuine Rub Records. Inducted into the R&B Hall of Fame in 2023, Andrews’ impact was felt across genres — and her family called her “one of a kind.” Her music? Forever immortal.
