We're first introduced to Ruby Dandridge on stage, guitar in hand, singing rock-and-roll pioneer Sister Rosetta Tharpe's "I Want a Tall Skinny Papa" from the 1940s. We meet Ruby as a performer, purple daisy in her hair, all eyes on her as she takes center stage before her sister comes up and tries to share the limelight. The jewel tone of this sapphire silk fabric adds to Ruby's shine. Despite Ruby's fixation with getting a job at the Marshall Fields department store, we see time and time again in the series that on stage is where Ruby dazzles, and each time Ruby is on stage, her life changes.
