• Barry from Sauquoit, NyOn February 3rd 1963, "Our Day Will Come" by Ruby and the Romantics entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart at position #79; and six weeks later on March 17th, 1963 it peaked at #1 {for 1 weeks} and spent 13 weeks on the Top 100...
  And on the day it peaked at #1 on the Top 100 it also reached #1 {for 2 weeks} on Billboard's R&B Singles chart...
  Between 1963 and 1965 the Akron, Ohio quintet had eight Top 100 records; with "Our Day Will Come" being their only Top 10 record, the group's next biggest hit was "My Summer Love, which reached #16 {for 1 week} on June 30th, 1963...
  Personally, my favorite record by the group was "Young Wings Can Fly"; it only reached #47 on the Top 100.
• Al from Baltimore, MdOne of the most sublime and sophisticated songs of the pre-Beatles era, it still has the power to generate the most heartfelt optimism. I'm in my sixties now, and I still can remember slow dancing to this song when I was in junior high school. I felt back then just as I feel now, "Our Day Will Come" is a masterpiece.
  
• Robert Burnett from Hagerstown, MeI had just turned 16 when I first heard it and thought it was one of the most beautiful and romantic songs I ever heard!
• John from Mentor, OhBorn in 1951, perhaps a half dozen songs return me to those early times. The nights(in bed)with the analog rotary dial electric box radio...the Drifters(There Go My Baby)and Bobby Darin(Dream Lover), Percy Faith(Theme From A Summer's Place, Frankie Avalon(Venus). and this song.
