He was born in Manoguayabo, then part of Santo Domingo, D.N. (the capital city) and now part of Santo Domingo Province. He studied music at National Conservatory of Music in the Dominican Republic.
In the 70s, after his father left Los Compadres Guitar quartet, he formed his first group, Los Virtuosos, with his father as the lead singer. His father kept the group and renamed it as Cuco Valoy y Orquesta (Cuco Valoy and his Orchestra) where he hired singers Peter Cruz and Henry Garcia. Ramon Orlando went to form another group. Years later, Cuco Valoy group disintegrated and he moved to Colombia due to his political differences with then Dominican president Joaquin Balaguer. Ramon Orlando then went onto a more ambitious project. He and then famous merengue singers Peter Cruz and Henry Garcia formed La Orquesta Internacional (The International Orchestra), where he was supposed to be the composer and director whereas Cruz and Garcia were to be the singers. However, of the first ten single production, Ramon Orlando wanted to sing four of them himself, which caused the group to split. Peter Cruz and Henry Garcia formed their own groups which didn't last long. Ramon Orlando quickly hired a couple of boys with similar voice tones to Cruz' and Garcia's to interpret the songs already on the radio.
He was a nominee in the Latin Grammy Awards of 2005.
Sin Las Dos
Ramon Orlando Lyrics

La muñeca que la niña olvidó al correr
Parecía que tenía mucha prisa
Por marcharse
Un vacío en la alcoba nupcial
Y un silencio que penetra
Hasta el fondo de mi ser
Que en verdad se fue
Sin las 2 el sentido han las cosas
Y a solas solo pienso en mis faldas
Sin las 2 diera todo porque esto cambiara
Me arrepiento y comprendo
Quien amo eres tú
Yo no soy nada sin las 2
Yo necesito su perdón
He reconocido mi error
He aprendido la lección
Pierdo el sueño sin las 2
Noches amargas sin calor
Y si regresas cambiaré
Gavilán jamás seré
Solo sombra queda de lo que fue
Dónde hubo risas solo hay el eco de tu amor
Y esta nota tristemente dejada por ella y tú
Sin las 2 el sentido han las cosas
Y a solas solo pienso en mis faldas
Sin las 2 diera todo porque esto cambiara
Me arrepiento y comprendo quien amo eres tú
Yo no soy nada sin las 2
Yo necesito su perdón
He reconocido mi error
He aprendido la lección
Pierdo el sueño sin las 2
Noches amargas sin calor
Y si regresas cambiaré
Gavilán jamás seré

The song also talks about the regret and the desire to make amends. The singer wishes that things could go back to how they were before the separation. He admits his mistake and apologizes for it. He has learned his lesson and realizes that he loves the person he has lost.
The song is a beautiful and emotional reflection on love lost and the pain that comes with it. The singer's voice is filled with emotion, and the lyrics are powerful, expressing the raw emotions felt after a break-up.
