How many times did Ruby visit the US? I know that some of her records were released in the US, but does anyone know which ones those were? Did Capitol Records give them much publicity? Also, did Ruby perform any concerts or appear on any television shows in the US?
Regards,
David

Brian,
Thank you for posting that list of singles and LPs. It is interesting that the singles did not focus on Irish-themed songs, but that the LPs were exclusively Irish-themed.
Regards,
David

Ruby's U.S.Appearances.
Hello David,
To my recollection, Ruby undertook 4 engagements in the States. The first of which was a promotional tour with Norrie Paramor, her A&R man at Columbia Records, to promote her records around radio stations. This was when she met up with Frank Sinatra at a recording session at Capitol Records. Amongst a host of other names she met was Guy Lombardo (& his Orchestra) and Betty Hutton the film actress. Next was an engagement to appear on the Patti Page Show which turned out to be quite a fiasco.
She did two tours of Irish American engagements through an Irish/American promoter called Bill Fuller, on one if these I went with Ruby and it was an experience I will never forget. On the second tour her friend/pianist Marie Murphy (nee Cunningham) went with her.
I couldn't be sure but I think that covers them all. Always happy to provide whatever data I can.
Adios Amigo. Bernie
