"I Want Action" by Ruby Winters

How the magical voice of midwestern rock and soul artist Ruby Winters alluded radio is beyond me. She managed to score a handful of modest hits that never got above the 90s in the Top 100, such as "Make Love To Me" (with Johnny Thunder) (#96), "I Don't Want To Cry," (#97) and "Guess Who," (#99) all from 1967-1969. She got her start in music as a singer in the Charlie Daniels band.

"I Want Action" is a stellar song that should have helped make Ruby Winters a household name. At least in the UK she had a Top 10 hit when "I Will" charted in 1977. She stopped releasing records by the end of that decade. 

Winters passed away in 2016 at the age of 74.
