Ron Queen - La La (Means I Love You) (Mod) [CD]

A well-known and highly respected vocalist on the Washington, DC scene, Ron Queen was considered something of a "secret weapon," often recruited by established bands who were searching for that special voice to make their live shows pop. His first exposure to a large audience came at the age of nine when his mother thrust him on stage with the one and only James Brown, the Godfather of Soul. From then on, Ron knew he was destined to be a performer. By the time Queen was a teenager he was singing in about 15 different bands in the DC area. The first well known act he sang with was the popular Motown group known as the Dynamic Superiors, who scored a huge hit with the romantic sweet soul ballad "Shoe Shoe Shine." It was then that Ron's reputation as a "singer's singer" began to grow beyond the confines of the local scene. After performing for a few years on the Dynamic Superiors live shows, Queen was approached by Major Harris, who recruited him to sing in his band and he toured with Harris for nearly three years, further establishing his reputation. Because of his exceptional talent, he rarely found himself with any down time. In the last year, Ron has been working in the studio with legendary Philly soul producer Butch Ingram and recently released the single "Hurry Up This Way Again," which was met with great critical acclaim. For his latest, Ron is back in the studio with Butch, as he takes on The Delfonics 1968 hit, "La La (Means I Love You)," and puts his own indelible stamp on it. Backed by the first family of Philly soul - the immortal Ingram Brothers band - Ron takes full command of the tune and truly makes it his own. The song has long been a favorite of Ron's and he delivers it in spectacular fashion, with great style and conviction. After all these years, Ron Queen steps from the shadows and takes his rightful place in the spotlight, front and center, where he has always belonged.
