The Saturday Play: Ruby

on BBC Radio 4 FM

By John P Rooney , adapted from the stage play by Marie Jones.

Belfast-born Ruby Murray was a well-loved international singing star of the 1950s whose career continued up until near her death in 1996. At the height of her fame she had four singles in the U K Top 20, appeared in her own television show at the London Palladium and toured the world. This is a love story about Ruby and Bernie Burgess, her first husband, also a singer with the group the Jones Boys.
