   About Ruby Turner
ruby turner ruby turner

Ruby Turner was born in Jamaica where she lived until the age of 9, when she moved to Birmingham. Her career to date has always had unexpected twists and turns but with major tours, TV and theatre appearances, and a brand new album in the pipeline, the future continues to look positive. Her major break came in the mid 1980's, when she was asked to join 'Culture Club' at the height of their stardom. Ruby very quickly learned how to deal with the routine of gruelling tour schedules and living out of a suit case. An offer of a solo record deal closely followed and she soon signed to Jive Records, part of the Zomba Group. Four albums and the 'Best of Ruby Turner' compilation album were all released to critical acclaim over the next few years. This period went on to spawn the hits 'If You're Ready (Come Go With Me) and 'I'd Rather Go Blind' and, in the American R'n'B chart, the number 1 hit single 'It's Gonna Be Alright' - one of less than ten British records to achieve this! It was at this time that she also released her hit album 'The Motown Songbook' on which she performed with some of the great stars of that era - The Four Tops, The Temptations, Jimmy Ruffin etc. To date, Ruby has released 10 albums plus the BBC's 'Live From Glastonbury', as well as appearing on releases by the likes of Brian Ferry, UB40, Steve Winwood and Jools Holland. She recently sang on 5 tracks on Mick Jagger..s solo album. Ruby affirmed her ability as a fine songwriter, an aspect of her talent which she has gradually been honing and tuning, when she penned nine of the songs for her 'Call Me By My Name' album released at the end of 1999. Artists as diverse and influential as Lulu, Yazz and Maxi Priest have all covered some of her songs. In recent years, with theatre still in her blood, Ruby has returned to the stage and appeared in productions of Tennessee Williams.. A Street Car Named Desire, Carmen Jones, Fame (in the West End) and in the highly acclaimed One Love directed by Yvonne Brewster at the Lyric Theatre, Hammersmith. Ruby appeared at Donmar Warehouse as part of their ..Diva..s at the Donmar.. season and in ..The Crucible.., Sheffield. Ruby has also appeared in the BBC TV..s Doctors, Judge John Deed, EastEnders, ..Jeffrey Archer - The Truth.., Holby City and the Richard Curtis film ..Love Actually.. She has given acclaimed appearances at the Brecon Jazz Festival, and for BBC Radio..s Music Live with Joe Crocker and Michael Bolton at Cardiff Bay. She also performed at the Hay on Wye festival and attended many other high profile events. Her last album was ..Ruby Turner Live In Bristol.. - recorded live at the Bristol Theatre Royal. On that album she performs some of the hit songs for which she is best known, including ..I..d Rather Go Blind.., ..If you..re ready come go with me.., ..Stay with me Baby.. and ..Signed, Sealed, Delivered... Ruby has just completed a successful run in ..Simply Heavenly.. in the West End after selling out The Young Vic last year. The musical has won several awards and was nominated for the most Outstanding Musical at the Laurence Olivier awards on Feb 19th, where Ruby performed a Cole Porter song. Along with ..Simply Heavenly.. Ruby is touring the country with Jools Holland and his Rhythm and Blues Orchestra . Ruby is very excited about her Brand new album ..So Amazing... 10 out of the 12 tracks are co-written by her. One of the tracks which she co-wrote at Miles Copeland..s chateau in France will be featured in the BBC drama ..Silent Witness... Some of the brand new material was performed by Ruby recently to a packed out Jazz Café in london on March 18th. Ruby appeared on Comic Relief (BBC) with Jools Holland on March 11th singing a stunning duet with Will Young of ..Blowing in the wind... She will also be appearing as the special guest on the Songs of Praise Easter Special. Ruby is currently performing her own gigs along with touring the country with Jools Holland and his Rhythm and Blues Orchestra as his very special guest. Jools Holland features tracks by Ruby on his last three ..Jools Holland & Friends.. Platinum-selling albums - ..Nobody but you.., ..Count me in" and ..When I get home...

Death of an Angel

You have surely heard about the tragic death of a
brave young woman who was murdered in Iran
just for peacefully protesting with her father
on the streets of Teheran.

Her Name was Neda - please remember her.

Neda

The trick is to stay focused on what you want to happen and let go of what you do not... cuz if you keep seeing things as they are, convincing yourself that you "have to" because that's reality, then it will always be your reality. want to change? it's as simple as changing the who, what, how, why and when of what you look at and FOCUS on... DAILY :)

Tankism #25 Happy Father's Day :)
PS: see if you can "see" the picture below. It's pretty cool...
