Milsap was born in Robbinsville, North Carolina with a congenital disorder that left him almost completely blind. He was abandoned by his mother as an infant and raised by his grandparents until the age of five, when he was sent to the Governor Morehead School for the Blind in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Milsap showed musical aptitude at an early age. The school stressed classical music training but he preferred country, gospel and rhythm-and-blues. He released his first single, Total Disaster, in 1963 at the age of twenty. This was followed by several Ashford And Simpson, compositions, including the memorable "Let's Go Get Stoned", which, unfortunately for Milsap, was relegated to a b-side. A few months later it would become a million-selling single for the more popular blind pianist, Ray Charles. 1972 found him working regularly at Roger Miller's King of the Road Club in Nashville, Tennessee and he signed with RCA Records in 1973. He was at his peak of popularity in the late 1970s and early 1980s with songs that made his name familiar to pop as well as country audiences, such as "It Was Almost Like A Song," "{There's) No Gettin' Over Me," "Smoky Mountain Rain," "I Wouldn't Have Missed It For The World," and a remake of Chuck Jackson's "Any Day Now" (which was named Billboard magazine's Number One Adult Contemporary hit of 1982). Milsap recorded for RCA until 1992. During that time he created five gold albums, one platinum album and one double platinum album. He also won six Grammy Awards and eight Country Music Association awards including the coveted Entertainer of the Year Award. In 2005 Milsap resigned with RCA Records and released a new country single, "Local Girls."
Milsap has recorded music with Kenny Rogers, Elvis Presley and Barry Manilow.
Ronnie and his wife Joyce currently make their home in Nashville, Tennessee.

Is It Over
Ronnie Milsap Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Is it over, are you really over him
Is it over, or will you take him back again
If it's over you can let his memory in
Come on over, we'll let our love begin.
You say you can't count the times that he's hurt you
And he's hurt you for the last time
But is the need in your heart or just in your mind.
[Chorus]
You know that I'm yours for the asking
If you're really asking, for true love
Words can't express how I want you
Oh, how I want to believe you're giving him up.
[Chorus]
Is it over, come on over let our love begin.
Is it over
Ronnie Milsap's song "Is It Over" is a love ballad about trying to move on from a past love. The song is directed towards a woman who is trying to determine if her previous relationship is truly over. In the chorus, Milsap asks, "Is it over, are you really over him?" and "Is it over, or will you take him back again?" He expresses his willingness to be with her, but only if she is fully committed to moving on.
The first verse describes the woman's previous relationship as one that has caused her pain repeatedly. She claims that her previous partner has hurt her for the last time, and she is now looking for someone new. Milsap, however, questions the sincerity of her feelings, asking whether her need for a new relationship is coming from her heart or just her mind.
In the second verse, Milsap professes his love for the woman, stating that he is willing to be with her if her intentions are genuine. He also mentions that he wants to believe that she is moving on from her past love, but he needs her to be truthful about where her heart truly lies.
Overall, the song is a plea for honesty and genuine commitment. It acknowledges the difficulty of moving on from a past love, but also highlights the importance of being honest about one's intentions in a new relationship.
