Ronnie Meade

This guy has such bad phrasing and tone in his singing that it is a fun LP. Music is lowball lounge rock, the vocals are utterly inept and since he doesn't change the gender on tracks like "My Guy", "Mad About The Boy", "A Good Man Is Hard To Find" I get the idea he is gay, too. Other tracks include Herb Alpert's "This Guys in Love With You", "By The Time I Get To Phoenix", a wacko "Something Stupid" (originally a Frank & Nancy Sinatra duet in the '60s), "Mr. Wonderful" etc. Private press on UK custom Governor label # WY 004 from early '70s era I guess. Cover has amazing picture of sexy blonde woman in high boots and hot pants on a country road. Definitely a gem for fans of incompetent vocalists and very obscure. Laminated UK style cover. [PM]
