Apologies for the bad audio I’m currently having mic problems but no need to worry I WILL have that fixed by the next video.
It's all good!!!
👍🏼
Please consider doing a video on *Randy Brown* .
I really thought that guy was going to wined up on the same list as Abbott , Vandross , and Pendegrass .
1974 Was His Buggest Hitss of Two Songs: "Just Alittle Love" & "Dancing Shoes." You Did Not Mention That. I Followed The Artiste. Good Content, Though.
He wasn't a one hit wonder.
Ronnie Dyson was the most underrated singer that didn't get his just due. He was an awesome talent.
Ronnie Dyson is still listen to now in 2023. We will continue enjoy his music for ever how long. Thank you
Ronnie Dyson had a voice like no other. Just like Luther Vandross, he can go high or low because he can make his voice expand, which can be extremely hard if you are a singer. Our family back in the day had just one album by this spectacular singer. I have a friend, who knew Ronnie Dyson personally, because of the church they went to in the sixties. He said, "Maurice, when this guy was done singing, he had damn near everyone in that church crying!" And I believe him. A legendary singer in his own right. The songs Ronnie Dyson sung that stuck out to me are "Even In The Darkest Night", "Familiar Strangers" & "Waiting For You." God Bless him, we lost him way too soon.
I beg to differ sir.....Ronnie was never a one-hit-wonder he was just in a class by himself....whether it was his original material or a cover he did it justice.....love him to pieces I love all his songs but recently I started to fall in love all over again with " A Wednesday in your garden"
My ex-husband told me I was going to be a one-hit wonder after winning a songwriting award in the UK songwriting contest in 2011. Five awards and four EPs later. I'm like who is a one-hit wonder, joker? Ronnie Dyson had hit after hit and lives on in living memory because he was just that great! Payola works in the music industry. To me, success is when your music touches and impacts lives. I can't ever thank myself enough for ignoring detractors!
yeah well his success was in a class by itself too because you're one of the few that's heard of him 🤣🤣🤣
@@cameron6249
YOU never heard of Ronnie Dyson ???
😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
His body of work is too wide. Very wide. He doesn't need musical arrangements behind his voice.
Angela you know music. You really, really know music. This guy is in a class by himself.
Most modern day artiste cannot carry water for him.
If You Let Me Make Love To You Then Why Can't I Touch You was sung beautifully by him. This song was a smash.
I grew up on all his music.simply wonderful memories.
I thought that was a woman singing that.
Absolutely! Truly a classic song.
He sure could hold a note...👍
RONNIE DYSON was an awesome talent! R.I.P. Thanks for posting...
Thanks so much for covering this untold story of Ronnie Dyson. "One Man Band Plays All Alone" still is my favorite. RIP to Thom Bell, who was also a genius. But as I listen to his many other Dyson songs, I truly appreciate his body of work. I will go back and listen to more of his magnificent voice. What a truly underrated talent.
The Man was TRULY blessed with that Voice, effortless Singer !!!
Ronnie Dyson cannot be referred to as a one hit wonder. His body of work and repertoire is too wide. There is no modern day artiste that has a voice like his. In fact, his voice is one of the most beautiful to grace the earth.
"I think I'll tell her".
YES!!!
Ronnie Dyson was amazing! I bought his greatest hits CD over ten years ago in Philly. Man! Every song he sang on that CD was the "JAWN"! He was a phenomenal singer! Thanks for sharing this information on a great singer that is definitely "unsung"!❤️🎤🎶
“Won’t you come stay with me” ❤ Emmie.
" I think I'll tell her " Is one of my favorite Ronnie Dyson songs. My deepest condolences to his family, friends and his many fans, of which i am one. May he continue to RiP. Thanks for sharing.
Ronnie Dyson is no one-hit-wonder. He had a catalogue and "Give In To Love" is my favourite.
He deserves respect.
I agree Promise Wilcox...... Ronnie sang with soul, brings me to tears
He did the original version of I just don't want to be lonely before the main ingredient did it
@@jimmiesmith5811 ...but yet his version is unknown to the public, so what does that tell ya?
@@cameron6249 No it's not it depends on where you're at here in chicago we always played his version as well as the main ingredient's
One of my favorites was "If You Let Me Make Love to You (then why can't I touch you?) No one-hit wonder here! And that voice!! Out of this world!
Thank you for this post. He is grossly underrated…he had an incredible voice.
Ronnie COULD OUT SING ANYBODY..THIS MAN WAS A ELITE BROADWAY SINGER...
Thank you. There is no modern day artiste that can carry water for Ronnie.
I remember seeing Ronnie back in the day at our local bowling alley on Bedford Ave. in Brooklyn. His hit back then 'If you let me'... was a chart topper. RIP brother !
When it comes right down to it is an all time great oldie but goody that takes me back down memory lane. I would say that is his best song. He really should have gotten much more recognition during his life time.
You forgot to mention that Ronnie had a song on Spike Lee's soundtrack for the film "She's Gotta Have It." The song is entitled "Nola."
Ronnie passed away in 1990
Died very young. Reminds me of Jimmie Hendricks.
Gosh! I didn't know that was him.
Yes! His vocals were incredible right to the end!
Always remember that song growing up as a kid , he had a smooth voice
Ronnie Dyson was more than a one hit wonder.
Who can forget Ronnie Dyson? He was a great soul singer!!💐
My brother and I would run out to get his albums as soon as they were released!!
I love his Aquarius, If You Let Me Make Love to You, A Wednesday in Your Garden (my personal fav as it especially showed his talent as a great singer), Just Don't Want to Be Lonely, etc., etc.
This brotha was the "thing" back in the day!
He just never got the promotion he deserved so he could blow up!!
May he continue to Rest Easy In Peace!!🙏🏿🖤💯
Make it with you by Ronnie Dyson, I love it
@@ujimajame4601 They are great versions of that song I agree. Have you ever heard the Whispers version a disco version but still good.
WBPTV is the best TH-cam channel out here. Keep up the excellent work. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
The GREATEST BROADWAY SINGER EVER....NOBODY COULD OUTSING RONNIE DYSON..
I love Ronnie Dyson. He was an amazing artist. If You Let Me Make Love to You Then Why Can't I Touch You? is my favorite song. But, I love so many more: One Man Band, I Just Don't Want To Be Lonely, and I Think I'll Tell Her.
He had many hits in my opinion. It's a shame that so many people today missed out on his beautiful voice and writing of songs. I miss Mr. Dyson. He definitely was not a one hit wonder. He was an unrecognized beast!! Thanks for posting.
Love this!!!
Talented Singer and Actor who performed On the musical Hair. Died way to soon Well Missed RIP SIR.
He sang Aquarius!
My favorite Dyson track is "Ain't Nothing Wrong" from the Love in all Flavors album. I'm also a big fan of his covers of "Bridge over Troubled Water" and "A Song for you." Fun fact, my brother in law Co wrote "(If You Let Me Make Love to You Then) Why Can't I Touch You?"
Ronnie is not a one hit wonder. He has many hits..
I never heard of him, but he sounds good. I can’t recall none of the songs you played. Keep giving our brothas and sistas their flowers!!
He was awesome 😎
I know him.... had 2 of his songs in the 70s ' The More You Do It' & ' Don't Be Afraid '
I didn't know about those songs, thanks! 😃
I was nine years old when "Why Can't I Touch You" came out. I remember it well. That is the only song I remember by Ronnie Dyson. It was much later on, in the 2010s, that I learned he sang "Aquarius" in Bway Hair. Of course, I only knew the 5th Dimension's version. One thing I have to say: Ronnie Dyson, in his teens/early 20s, sounded like Frankie Lymon. So sad he died young!
Great video
I remember this singer from the 70’s than I stopped hearing from him . Wonderful singer. Thank you for this download.
Met Ronnie when I was just a kid when he happened to move right across the street from where I lived in Downtown Brooklyn in the late 70’s .
Ain't nothing wrong with loving you, was one of my favorites by R.Dyson
Ronnie Dyson was very gifted. I loved his music. I wonder did he write his songs. He sang them so meaningfully. RIP Ronnie. Your music will live forever.
Thanks for this tribute. I remember when he sang One Man Band on Soul Train & loved it. Also very few remember he did the original version of Just Don't Want to Be Lonely. And I still have the 45 of Heart to Heart. Such a great talent. Was sad when I heard he'd passed.
Just don't wanna be lonely is his original? I always thought it was The Main Ingredient version was original. It's a beautiful song regardless.
@@eddietee6305 Yeah. Ronnie did it first in 1973, then both the Main Ingredient and Blue Magic had it on their albums in 1974. Of course The Main Ingredient's version was the big hit. That happens. Most people don't remember that Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes did "Don't Leave Me This Way" before Thelma Houston's hit version. Both great, but I like the one with Pendergrass singing lead better. JMO.
@@mbaker7775 thanks. I didn't know that Ronnie did it first. I knew about The Harold Melvin and the Blue notes hit though.
Love your channel keep up the great work✊🏾 Ronnie Dyson had a beautiful voice he’s definitely underrated. Wish there was more on his life out there.
It’s good to see you highlight Ronnie’s career.I actually forgot about him. I wish the oldie stations would play his music. I would like you to cover Carl Carlton. He is not just a one hit wonder but he is a one smash hit wonder 😂
he actually had 2 well known hits
Are you talking about Ronnie Dyson? There was If You Let Me Make Love to You…., and To Be With You.
@@alexandradillard2077 and his 1983 club hit "All Over Your Face". It was House before they called it House Music.
Carl's remake of Everlasting Love was a big Pop hit & one of the early Disco hits & then, there's the 2 Leon Haywood songs that he covered, This Feeling's Rated X-Tra & She's Built, She's Stacked, which Carl "borrowed" for Bad Mama Jama.
Carl killed them both!
We know Carl primarily for those songs, but over in the UK, some of Carl's 1960s songs (Competition Ain't Nothing, to name one) are big with the Northern Soul crowd.
Carl Carlton had bad mamma jammer and everlasting love....big records
I'm being honest
.it's sad that I never heard of him. I think he's worth looking into. Thanks for the info👍. I often wonder how much I have missed with a lot of Artist that for some reason or another, not the recognition they Deserved. Hearing this, just kind of make me sad. Fact he passed so long. Thanks for this info I never knew. Apperciate it.👍. Love,respect and positivity always. Neita James.✌💕🌻🦋🌠🙂👋.
It's a shame that so many are commenting that they don't know him because he was very talented. I really like "If You Let Me Make Love To You" and his version of "When You Get Right Down To It." At one point, he was being looked at to play Frankie Lymon in a biopic, but we know that Larenz Tate eventually went on to play Frankie. Could you do a story on Linda Jones, who sang "Hypnotized"?
I love that song Hypnotized by Linda Jones
Yezz Ms Linda Jones ❤
talent wasn't enough back then
Don’t forget about her singing For Your Precious Love. I just played that song over and over
@@DeeFromTheD I believe she passed away from a brain disease, I believe . She passed away very early like around 1973
Ronnie is the spitting image of Althea Gibson the female tennis player. He had an unusual tenor voice that hit those high notes spot on without doing falsetto, he was a much underatted singer and unfortunately passed away at an earlier age.
He was somewhat androgynous looking.
@@DEKMAN99 he does
I didn’t know of him until I heard “ I just don’t want to be lonely “
One of my ole school favorites
My grandfather comes walking in the house with a orange 45 test pressing .
I said “Popa where’d you get that from?”
He said “I met this guy named Ronnie and he gave it to me”.
I played it and said “this is nice Popa!”
He said “Ya” lol.
It was Ronnie Dyson’s if you let me.
Before it hit the radio!
I always felt connected to that song. It was my first celebrity encounter. I had it before everybody! In about a month it played on every radio station.
He had such a beautiful voice. I just don't understand why he wasn't recognized for his amazing singing.
I loved his music he was definitely in a class by himself ❤❤
I loved all of Ronnie songs, just to here that golden dynamic voice. The one man band plays all alone album is my favorite. From the beginning to the end. Thank you Ronnie in Heaven loved you.
I love " I just don't want to be lonely." He has such an amazing voice.
My favorite too. I have it on constant replay.
I like the song "I Think I'll Tell Her What's On My Mind". Please do Jr. Walker And The All Stars.
Amazing amazing song. I can listen that track over and over (which I sometimes do) and it never gets old.
I love his voice!! Thanks.
Sometimes destiny's path has it written in a challenge that is offered misunderstood. Ronnie Dyson was one the best voices of all times. Me being a Musician/ vocalist, he was one the singers that highly impressed and impacted my person. When he reincarnate again, maybe we will get to enjoy his talent longer. Blessings My Brother.
Love his song ‘Heart To Heart’ . Yes back in 1982, It was nice to here his voice again.
Never heard of him but wow am I’m amazed I loved how u sum up the reasons why one hit wonders don’t succeed
He wasn't a one hit wonder
An incredible voice. I still get goose bumps listening to his music..unforgettable voice
For me Ronnie Dyson had one of the sweetest soul voices. It's incredible that he failed to become an A lister. The record business can be cruel and fickle. Sad fact is that Ronnie wasn't the most handsome or most masculine guy and this had a negative effect on his career. He deserved so much more recognition and commercial success.
That's it! I didn't want to say this but if he was a pretty boy I think they would have ate him up. With that sound he would have needed to look like Lenny Kravits or Prince. Yes Ill say it a yellow boy! Like A Debarge! I will even say Sylvester would have sold more records if he were that, Some how a dark skinned boy can't have a high pitch voice and sell as well. For sure in those days.
He was a phenomenal artist
WBPTV y’all are so underrated I love what you’re doing. I’m loving the whole team the music, wrestling, MrCuffnStuff and The podcast you have talking real world events. I’m a huge fan and wishing you the best I hope y’all get recognize for the hard informative work y’all put out 💯🤟🏾
He was an excellent singer, RIP Ronnie
Amazing voice and truly a gift to the soul music industry albeit underrated. Died way too young😢 May his soul Rest in Heaven ❤ 🙏
I love all music, but R&B is my absolute favorite. Ronny Dyson sang one most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard. It’s called “I Think I’ll Tell Her”. I love all of his music, but this diamond-in-rough didn’t receive the accolades it deserved. Look it up and I guarantee you’ll listen to it for the rest of your life! Dave the Musicologist
I could not have said it Better than This! Thank You!
My 2 favorites written by the great dynamic duo, the late Thom Bell and Linda Creed " I think I'll tell her" and " One man band." May they rest in peace.
I LOVED "I Think I'll Tell Her" and still play it! When I do, people ask me, "Who's THAT?"
Beautiful songs.
I discovered Ronnie when I heard his song Life and Breath. I was si captivated by it. I used to tell my mom that it was her song as she was my life n breath. Now I listen Ronnie almost everyday. His song, She's Gone hits so hard as I relate it to my mom ho has passed away in 2021. Blessings n RIP Ronnie❤
Ronnie Dyson wasn't a one hit wonder. He was a two his wonder…..(If You Let Me Make Love To You) Why Can't I Touch You? and One Man Band both made Billboard's top 40.
He had more that just don't want to be lonely the more you do it the more I like it done to me don't be afraid it's over your face and the b side of a one man band I think I'll tell her is a steppers a classic here in chicago I hate we lost him so young
The charts are biased. Imagine Cardi B selling more records than Ronnie.
He had 1 top 10 hit on the pop charts. The term “One Hit Wonder” is most commonly used in regard to music performers with only one hit single that overshadows their other work. His hit “(If You Let Me Make Love to You Then) Why Can't I Touch You?” Overshadows his other work even the entitled album was his most successful. Therefore according to the term One Hit Wonder it still stands
Hello! I just subscribed! I watched your vlog on "The Isley's" and thoroughly enjoyed it! I just watched Ronnie Dyson and yes, I remember him. He had a beautiful voice! Thank you for doing these videos because there are a lot if artist that really don't get their due. But not only that, you give info that I never heard of or about. Thanks for allowing me to subscribe. I am looking forward to your next episode. 👏👏
He remade a Main Ingredient song...I Just Don't Want To Be Lonely. Did a beautiful job of it. RIP 🙏
Ronnie Dyson voice was quite different from other male singers to me it was a tenor that has and have a special tone and let us not forget I think i.ll tell her
I loved most of Ronnie’s material. All Over Your Face was a favorite of mine. I also loved when he sang Nola in She’s Gotta Have it.
"Just Don't Want To Be Lonely" is an all -time favorite song of mine. I own the album and CD!!!!!! I'm a 79 year old white woman who can appreciate talent.
Love your channel!!!!!
Bad boy great vocalist definitely unsung
I think I'll tell her . my song
One helluva Exceptional underrated singer
great interview
A Wednesday in your garden. My pick. He was loved in 🇯🇲
I Think I"ll Tell Her What's On My Mind.... Dedicated To My Incredible Loving Sister... Frances who Used To Sing Along To This Masterpiece with The Incredible Mr. Ronnie Dyson whenever we Heard it On The Radio when she was 2 Years Old...
L❤️ve You and Miss You So Much
My Dear Sister Please Rest in Heavenly Peace ❤️❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹
Tracey
his big monster hit in Philly was I Think I'll Tell Her Mainly because of a well known Radio DJ named Bob Pantano . Bob Always ended his radio show with this song for Years . one of my favorites also . but for me it has to be " All Over Your Face " he is a very underrated Singer !!! such a Great Voice !!! good job on the documentary 👍 now go get a better Mic 😊
Ronnie's vocals are out of this world!.
Fun fact “Something” by Musiq Soulchild was originally covered by Ronnie Dyson.
Ol’ School Music connoisseurs know RD, he’s a legend. This episode brought back memories, good channel!!!
His greatness,was not truly given it’s true respect,but we’re here to give it,it’s true respect,for his golden voice,was phenomenal,and still resonates 2day!❤
I LOVE Ronnie Dyson. I was introduced to his music as a child growing up in Memphis Tennessee
I was impressed with his voice. One of the best in the business. He just didn't seem to catch on. To answer your question, "Why Can't I Touch You" is my favorite.
WHY CAN'T I TOUCH YOU SO MUCH FEELING IT IS JUST MAKE YOU THINK HE IS RIGHT WHAT A VOICE. HE IS MISSED GREATLY WHO KNEW?TODAY WITH A VOICE LIKE THAT WHERE HE WOULD BE. THIS IS MY FAVORITE SONG OF ALL TIME.
I just don’t want to be lonely was my jam! Great voice! I never knew that he had passed 😢. Great video!
I remember "If You Let Me...," I hadn't heard the other songs until now. Ronnie had an excellent voice, I think record companies didn't know what to do with him image-wise.
Thanks for your video never knew any of this about him..Beautiful voice....
My friends and I used to make our own charts out in the 70s, and on June 23, 1973, "One Man Band" hit # 1 on my list. Great record!
Ronnie was not a one hit wonder I got all 7of his albums he didn't have mega hits but he was no one hit wonder of ocourse he's best known why can't I touch you one man band I think I'll tell her just don't want to be lonely the more you do it the more I like it close to you don't be afraid couples only heart to heart and all over your face he had a song a one spike lee's movie soundtrack I forget the name of it he had some good songs too bad we lost him so soon to poor health some day it's was from his drug addiction and some say it was from something else that I don't care to get into whatever it was he a good singer that left us too soon
He had 1 top 10 hit on the pop charts. The term “One Hit Wonder” is most commonly used in regard to music performers with only one hit single that overshadows their other work. His hit “(If You Let Me Make Love to You Then) Why Can't I Touch You?” Overshadows his other work even the entitled album was his most successful. Therefore according to the term One Hit Wonder it still stands
Nice👍👍
I've only known Ronnie Dyson from his one hit in the early 70's. Sadly I didn't know he had a catalog of music. He had such an unique amazing voice.
I play Ronnie's music a lot. The man could sing.
❤ this great black singer
One of the greatest in the world 🌍
Dr.tyrone of Chester PA
He doesn’t sound like a one hit wonder if the charting so many times he sounds like a superstar and very underrated with a unique voice, a funky voice, a strong voice God bless Ronnie Dyson love love, love his voice
WBPTV what happen to that old SOUL TV SHOW ? is it available on dvd somewhere ?
The more you do it is my jam what a velvety voice ❤❤
Hi thank you for your superb works. I do enjoy watching your videos I am asking for the one hit wonder Kung Fu Fighting by Carl Douglas. Thank you
What about “I Think I’ll Tell Her”? That’s the first time I heard Ronnie Dyson sing. It’s an underrated gem of a ballad.
Awesome vocals ❤
💜"Just Don't Wanna Be Lonely"
Ronnie Dyson was one of those rare voices we find no replacement for, his voice had so many facets, Frankie Lymon, Little Willie John, Mel Carter, Donnie Hathaway, to name a rare few and yet it was Mr. Dyson himself. I can't think of anything he couldn't sing because, like those previously mentioned, he was a genius, whose voice went to sleep with him.
You are right on the money. He was a rare voice.
