During the mid-50s, Belfast-born Ruby Murray, with her distinctive, husky-yet-velvety voice, was the most successful British-born artist in the UK. Indeed, in January 1955, at the age of only nineteen, she had five discs concurrently in the Top 20, including the No. 1, 'Softly, Softly', a record which would remain intact until the dreaded Digital era. This compilation is drawn largely from her singles releases between 1954-62, and features all her?UK?hits, notably 'Heartbeat', 'Let Me Go Lover', 'Happy Days And Lonely Nights', 'If Anyone Finds This I Love You' (which she sang with Anne Warren), 'Evermore', 'I'll Come When You Call', 'The Very First Christmas Of All', 'You Are My First Love', 'Real Love' and 'Goodbye, Jimmy, Goodbye'. Includes a fierce collectors' rarity, 'Ave Maria', from Ruby's highly sought-after Our Choice EP.
