Recently found some CDs that had fallen behind my computer desk - are there anyother Ronnie Lane fans out there?

I'm not familiar with Ronnie Lane, but it's nice to see you back here John

Sounds really familiar. Is he the one who did a great version of that wonderful old song, "Gonna Sit Right Down And Write Myself A Letter"? If so, then yes, I must be a fan. Oh.. and I just thought of another song... "Bottle Of Brandy".. did he do that, too?

I think this will be Ronnie Lane of the Faces; a great musician and songwriter (and good guy by all accounts), who struggled with and finally succumbed to MS. I believe there is an autobiographical film and several re-releases of his work recently released.

Those are definitely two of his more famous numbers (as a solo artist)
Davido - I thought he was the only Ronnie Lane?

Thanks JTS! I don't know much about Ronnie Lane, nor do I have any of his albums - have only heard his work on a few compilations made for me by a friend a few years ago... but what I know of him, I really like - his music sounds so plaful. I guess I should try to dig up something of his... do you recommend anything in particular?

I'd probably start with "Ronniw Lane's Slim Chance" and "Tin & Tambourine" and "Anymore for Any More?"
