Biography

Born Ruby M Stackhouse[1] in Hollandale, Mississippi, Andrews debuted on the Kelmac label (as Ruby Stackhouse) and soon after on Zodiac Records (Zodiac, label and scored her biggest seller, "Casonova (Your Playing Days Are Over)", in 1967.

A crossover hit, "Casonova (Your Playing Days Are Over)", went to number 9 in the R&B charts and number 51 in the pop charts. The song, co-written and produced by Joshie Jo Armstead, featured a typical Chicago-style mid-tempo lope, but was recorded and arranged by Mike Terry in Detroit.[2] Some later reissues of the track used the (historically correct) spelling "Cassonova".

Successful follow-ups on Zodiac included "You Made a Believer (Out of Me)" in 1969 and "Everybody Saw You" the next year. Andrews later cut some bluesy material for Ichiban, with producer Swamp Dogg.[3]

Most of Andrews releases on the Chicago-based Zodiac label were produced and written by the team of Fred Bridges, Robert Eaton and Richard Knight, who were also moderately successful as the vocal group Brothers Of Soul (of "I Guess That Don't Make Me A Loser" fame). Andrews evolved into a powerful vocalist on such aggressive stand-outs as "You Made A Believer (Out Of Me)" (number 18 in the R&B charts and number 96 in the pop charts in 1969), "Everybody Saw You" (number 34 in the R&B charts in 1970) and "You Ole Boo You".[2]

Andrews is also the CEO of Genuine Ruby Records LLC.[4]
