RUBY ANDREWS - "Just Loving You"
Born Ruby Stackhouse on March 12, 1956, Hollandale, Mississippi, USA, Andrews debuted on the Zodiac, label in 1967 and scored her biggest seller, "Casanova (Your Playing Days Are Over)," the same year.
A crossover hit, "Casanova (Your Playing Days Are Over)', went to number 9 in the R&B charts and number 51 in the pop charts. The song, co-written and produced by Joshie Jo Armstead, featured a typical Chicago-style mid-tempo lope, but was recorded and arranged by Mike Terry in Detroit. [1]
Successful follow-ups on Zodiac included You Made a Believer (Out of Me) in 1969 and Everybody Saw You the next year. Andrews later cut some bluesy material for Ichiban, with producer Swamp Dogg. [

Ruby Andrews is also the CEO of Genuine Ruby Records LLC.
