This is a completely unknown soul funk disco delight with Clydie King on back-up vocals! Arranged by Don Randi (David Axelrod fans might recognize this fellow). Released as small quantity for local play. 1977 release, slick production. Only about 100 copies were pressed up.

This has some funky tracks, crazy production. Rare private press albums that sound this awesome are hard to find and come across. This is one the music hip hop producers would grab up to sample for sure!! Crazy bass lines and soulful sounds.


This has scratches and some wear to LP. Plays, but minor cleaning will be needed for sure. May have some pops etc. Not "mint". I am not a professional grader. The inside paper sleeve has a rip. It is the original. This item is signed in marker as seen in pictures. I would call this acceptable condition. If you need a brand new item, this may not be best.

MAILS FAST AND SAFE. Protected well. I have mailed many LPs before over the years and do so in a record box. It will arrive in one piece safely!!


Label: Unknown, Rodian Music is the publisher

ABOUT

Ronnie Gaylord (June 12, 1930 – January 25, 2004) was the name taken by Ronald L. Fredianelli, a member of The Gaylords, when he began to perform as a solo singer after entering military service in the 1950s.

Fredianelli was born in Detroit, Michigan. He formed the Gaylords (originally The Gay Lords) with Bonaldo Bonaldi and Don Rea in Detroit in 1949. For a while he used the name of Ronnie Vincent before adopting the name Ronnie Gaylord.

In the military, he was assigned to Special Services and sang with a military band. He had one hit as Ronnie Gaylord: "Cuddle Me" (1954). (Apparently, he was allowed to release it while still in the service.)

On Feb 15 1955 he was discharged from the military at Fort Carson, Colorado and rejoined The Gaylords.

In 1976, Bonaldi changed his name to Burt Holiday, at which time the group became Gaylord and Holiday. Rea had left the group by that time.

With his first wife, Ronnie had two children: Ronald Jr. and Melissa. With his second wife, Terry, he had three children: two sons (Christopher and Anthony) and one daughter (Tiffany). Three of his children (Tony, Chris, and Tiffany) went into show business.

He died in Reno, Nevada.
