Although this song is not listed in the database, Craddock's remake of the old 1963 Dion solo hit did peak at #33 Billboard, in 1/75. My commercial 45 has a listed time of (2:37), but an actual time of (2:33). Unfortunately, the only CD that I own with this song on it, the Razor & Tie hits collection "Crash's Smashes: The Best Of" features a version on there with an actual time of (2:20).

Jim,

Just curious, was "Ruby, Baby" a follow-up to "Rub It In"...?

Yes, John, it was the immediate follow-up to "Rub It In".
