His solo career was unsuccessful, despite being signed to contracts with Columbia and then Decca from the late 1950s through the early 1960s, he failed to chart a single song. However, Brenda Lee's cover of his song I'm Sorry became a major pop classic.

His music today is more popular within the rockabilly scene than it ever has been in the past. Many of his recordings can be heard at record hops today and some of his big songs are:

"Ain't I'm A Dog "
"Flame Of Love"
"Bop-A-Lena"
"You're So Right For Me"

I found out about Ronnie on YouTube some years ago. I never heard of him before that. Another talent I missed out on most of life!

In chart positions Ronnie may not have been a success, but for his music to still be loved, revered and enjoyed 50 years later is a true indication of success..rock on Ronnie!

Ronnie was a cooool dude. This song was the lead tune in the movie "Big Town" go and see it. It's a hard boiled movie about a guy making his way up in the big town. Late '90s I think
