RONNIE DYSON ~♫~ ONE MAN BAND ~♫~ BABY BOLLOX MAGIC REMIX

RONNIE DYSON - ONE MAN BAND - BABY BOLLOX MAGIC REMIX. Remix by "Baby Bollox" © 2010.

RONNIE DYSON - b. 5th June 1950, Washington D.C., U.S.A. d. 10th November 1990, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, U.S.A. Ronnie grew up in Brooklyn and sang Gospel in the church as a child. By the age of 20, Ronnie had performed in the musical 'Hair' as a lead actor, and the lesser known production 'Salvation' a year earlier. In 1973 his record Columbia Records sent him to Philadelphia to be produced by Thom Bell, one of the premier producers of the day. The tracks included "One Man Band", which reached #28 on the Hot 100 and #15 on the R&B chart.

All my life I've been alone but I've never really cared
Just a face inside a crowd, a stranger everywhere
Everyone I've ever known has disappointed me
I live and breathe only for me.

No one's ever been inside the walls surrounding me
I depend on me myself to keep me company
No one cares about me so, I take good care of me
I'm in a world all of my own.

Oh! One man band plays all alone
He plays to a song of his own
Yes, he does, yes, he does, Yes, he does
Oh! One man band plays all alone
He plays to a song of his own.

I'm so self contented that it sometimes frightens me
I can do most anything with no one helping me
I'm concerned in everything that's for the good of me
No one but me cares about me.

And each man is the master of his own destiny
And I can surely best determine what is right for me
If I had the chance to change my life I wouldn't dare
Doing OK, living this way.

Oh! One man band plays all alone
He plays to a song of his own
Yes, he does, yes, he does, Yes, he does
Oh! One man band plays all alone
He plays to a song of his own.

Oh! One man band plays all alone
He plays to a song of his own
Yes, he does, yes, he does, Yes, he does
Oh! One man band plays all alone
He plays to a song of his own
Oh! One man band plays all alone
He plays to a song of his own
Yes, he does, yes, he does, Yes, he does
Oh! One man band plays all alone
He plays to a song of his own.

The BEST audio and mix EVER on this great jam BabyBollox

You produced for us a great gift here and you gave Ronnie Dyson, his musical props in every way. Nice job and thanks for the memory. I'm blown away by your audio work here. This is going right to my FAVORITES list Baby'.

[BabyBollox]

@mysterytrax - thnx so much for your kind comments. It's feedback (good, bad or indifferent) that gives me the encouragement to keep on "doing what I do" - and to keep on trying my best :-)

Just found out that the Chi-Lites did a version of this, around that same time. Very Interesting...

[L78lancer]

BTW, good mix. Almost seemless. Used to listen to this again & again. Too bad mixed like this didn't exist back in the day. KUTGW!

[L78lancer]

This was an integral part of my growing up in Philly. It's one of those "soundtracks to personal experience," because it has so much depth and meaning for such a short song - so easy to learn and hard to forget. And If I'm not mistaken, this was the B-side of the 45 rpm - imagine that. Thx to Butterball, Georgie Woods, Carl Helm, Jimmy Bishop, Johnnie-O, and the others at WDAS for pumping this and all of Ronnie's songs. He will always be a treasure there and have a following.
