Who is Ruby Turner?
With a music career spanning more than 30 years, Ruby Turner’s song
“It’s Gonna Be Alright’ broke through by hitting number 1 on the US
R&B Chart in 1990. What’s amazing about this is that it is rare
for a British-Jamaican R&B, Soul and Gospel singer-songwriter.
Ruby’s 17 albums and singles are best known in Europe and North
America. She’s a session vocalist for Bryan Ferry, UB40, Steel
Pulse, Jools Holland and Mick Jagger. She has written songs for
Lulu, Yazz and Maxi Priest. Ruby is also an actress and her acting
career spans Theatre, Films, TV Soaps, Documentaries, even BBC
Music Judge for televised Choir competitions.
Ruby awards include an MBE (Member of the British Empire) in the
2016 Birthday Honours for services to music.
This interview was recorded through Zoom due to COVID-19 lockdown
still easing, so you might perceive a slight change of audio
quality between the introduction and the show. But don't worry
because the content is stella!
