"Ruby Tuesday" #1 3/4/1967

Who could hang a name on you? Yes, this was the song that inspired the name of the restaurant chain. It's supposedly about an ex-girlfriend of Keith Richards. She'd taken up with Jimi Hendrix, and Keith was concerned about the drug-fueled path she was on. Oh, the irony. It was a B-side but became the hit when US radio stations shied away from the A-side due to its content. That will appear in this space in a few days.
