Ruby Stackhouse was born in 1947 in rural western Mississippi. She moved with her family to Chicago in 1953. Near the end of high school, Ruby started singing with a vocal group called the Vondells. She made her debut on the Kelmac label, recording with the Vondells although the record was released as by Ruby Stackhouse. She was signed to the Zodiac label and released “Let’s Get A Groove Going On”, credited to Ruby Andrews. This was followed by “I Just Can’t Get Enough”. Her third release for the Zodiac label was her biggest seller, “Casonova [sic] (Your Playing Days Are Over)”.
