Ronn Matlock

Detroit local Ronald “Ronn” Matlock’s music trip has largely resided at the rear of the scenes being a songwriter on many projects, obtaining his first slashes at Motown Information. “FEEL JUST LIKE QUITTING,” co-written with Eddie Kendricks, was earmarked as ex-Temptation Paul Williams’ initial solo release and really should have inflated, but Motown shelved it following the baritone’s tragic suicide. It made an appearance by Kendricks’ protégés the Posse on Motown’s VIP subsidiary in Dec 1971, but no advertising made it lifeless on introduction. With Kendricks and Mike Stokes, the trio published a youthful Posse launch on Janus Information, “I got eventually to Consider You Out” (March 1971) and “Out in the united states,” for Bobby Taylor’s Taylor Produced Soul recording (July 1969), collaborating using its maker, Ricky Matthews (given birth to Rick Wayne), and Roderick Harrison. He caused Stokes on many tasks, including a Keith Barrow LP plus some Enchantment albums. Because of Matlock’s tunes “YOU UNDERSTAND You Wanna Become Loved,” “Physical Appeal,” and “Change Me Up,” Barrow’s task stirred some curiosity. But Barrow’s follow-up recording — carried out without Matlock’s participation — backtracked everything, therefore he enlisted Matlock’s help for any task on Don Cornelius’ label, however the crooner succumbed to Helps before anything materialized. Shirley Caesar’s 1978 modern gospel album From your Center on Roadshow Information features Matlock’s “Heavenly Dad,” co-written with Caesar and Stokes, “Salvation,” and “Message to individuals.” His just solo album, Like Town (Cotillion 1979), is known as a vintage by spirit aficionados, but lackluster advertising snuffed its possibilities for chart actions. You will discover his tracks on Eddie Kendricks’ Arista record Something Even more, and Atlantic’s Like Tips. Matlock’s “Ev’ry TINY BIT” helped Millie Scott’s profession and Merry Clayton redid “Heavenly Dad” for Wonders Information (1994). The talented tune doctor is gladly wedded to Bernadine; the few have two kids, Keli and Kristopher, and contact Las Vegas house.
