March 23, 1963 –
Everyone get ready for a slow dance (remember to leave room for the Holy Spirit): Ruby and the Romantics‘ song Our Day Will Come hit No. #1 on the Billboard Charts on this date.
Dionne Warwick recorded the original demo of the song for songwriter Bob Hilliard and she told him how much she liked it. Dionne recalls, “It was written during that period of time when I met Bacharach and David. Bob Hilliard wrote the song also and he said: ‘I’ve got a good little song here and there’s a new group called ‘Ruby and the Romantics’ and will you do the demonstration record?’ I said: ‘Of course. I’d love to. And I did. And I told him then that it was a really pretty song.” In 1982 Dionne Warwick included it as her only cover on her 1982 album Heartbreaker.
