Ronnie Lane (1 April 1946 -- 4 June 1997) of the The Faces and Small Faces . Heres "April Fool" from the album "Rough Mix" by Ronnie Lane and Pete Townshend of The Who . Released in 1977
Such a wonderful album, yet so many folks are unaware of its existence. The songs are all brilliant, with Clapton laying down this beautiful dobro part, along with his 'foot tapping', which Glyn Johns decided to mic up for the track. RIP Ronnie Lane.
Happy birthday Ronnie my love😍💓. Words cannot express how much your missed, your stay here was sadly so short. Thanks so much for the music you left us. ☮🙏💜
Ronnie Lane was such a special guy.. Great musician, writer, entertainer & a warmth to his character that was tangible & obvious - in an innocent, understated, modest, humble, yet talented & gifted way.. His music reflected this on many levels - something other muzos consistently fall short of.. Ronnie stood out - that's undisputed.. His vulnerability made him loveable - as well as his music of coarse !! Rest In Peace Ronnie Lane.. Peace Rxx
So pleased a street was named after him in Manor Park. A real East London legend. Now can they put a blue plaque up on Stevie’s old house in Strone rd??..
Wonderful man, we were blessed to have him. He had a short but full life Bless you ''Plonk'' and thank you, Ronnie Lane, for being Ronnie lane. a kind and gentle soul something the world needs now.
If an alien came out from space and landed on the planet. If he asked me what bliss is or truly being happy looks like. 🎉I would put this video up to show him 💯,saying these words * this man best describes what a really happy guy looks like* Ronnie Lane is that depiction of what we all want, Bliss,🕊️ and that's exactly what he got, so happiness went everywhere with him and boy how he loved his music 🌹💯. 💔💔 At the end of his life he didn't have much material things😢. left, as his illness brought him to being broke. However, he left this world with a big smile on his face, because he had a beautiful loving family. . RIP Ronnie
Such a pure gentle soul, love Ronnie Lane. Also in his songs he can just hear how influential he was on all of the great Faces tracks with Rod Stewart.
Thank you Mr Lane. You are are permanent fixture in my musical appreciation. I grew up in Ilford - other side of the river to you and a few years behind ya. But no worry, I carry your message with me . Cheers Ronnie old son.
I love this song, I love Ronnie and all he did to make us happy rockin and rollin....I am an ex bus spotter and an ex pat of my homeland 'England' so this is what I love and what I miss...thanks for the incredible video that through Ronnie, a bus and the countryside I know so well bringing me back home...
Some historians speculate that April Fools’ Day dates back to 1582, when France switched from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar, as called for by the Council of Trent in 1563. In the Julian Calendar, as in the Hindu calendar, the new year began with the spring equinox around April 1.
Eric Clapton on slide guitar brilliant song from Rough Mix Album . CD and LP re released 2016 remastered at Abbey Road still sounds great just like the LP
thank you for this video...I always love playing Rough Mix this time of year...brings me back to `77, it's too bad that Ronnie passed away, it would've been nice to hear a follow up album from him and Pete with Eric contributing with possible shows to follow. Thank You Ronnie...God Bless You

Happy Birthday to one of the greatest/ most under-appreciated singer/songwriters of all time. Love you Ronnie
Such an earthy, homey, song... you'd think it was from America's Appalachian Mountain Country, and that's a compliment!
Happy birthday Ronnie my love😍💓. Words cannot express how much your missed, your stay here was sadly so short. Thanks so much for the music you left us.

God Rest your B eautiful Soul Mr Lane........you are missed by all real musics lovers!!!!!!!!!!
Such a pretty, little song. ❤
A brilliant songwriter. In time, hopefully, more and more listeners will come to appreciate just how good he was.
yep........and a beautiful Honest Heart
cute as a button RIP Sir.
It honestly breaks my heart that more people don't know this song.
The song itself is beautifully depressing.
Ronnie Lane perhaps the most under-appreciated of all the English cats from the British Invasion.
one of the best and sweetest of my clients - miss him
