A 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 in, 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. Over the past few years, at the behest of the legendary Philly Soul producer Butch Ingram, Ron has been working on a string of singles, including "Hurry Up This Way Again" and La La (Means I Love You)," with the intention of eventually recording his first ever, and long overdue, solo album. Presented here is Ron's superb rendition of the Temptation's 1967 hit, "You're My Everything" - featuring the second of two distinct mixes recorded for the project and expert backing from the formidable Ingram Brothers band aided by the master keyboardist Charles (Clef) Lundy and the superb guitarist Gary Nelson. Local vocal group favorites TRU provide exquisite backing vocals that further compliments Queen's soulful lead. One of the truly golden voices to emerge from the modern Soul music scene, Ron Queen remains above the pack and continues to impress with each successive release.
