Early life
Michael Ronson was born in 1946 in Kingston upon Hull. He was George and Minnie Ronson's first son and had two younger siblings, Maggi and David. He was classically trained as an infant to play piano, recorder, violin, and (later) the harmonium. He started out wishing to be a cellist but then discovered Duane Eddy's music, whose sound on his guitar sounded like that of the cello, he switched to guitar. In November 1963, he formed the Mariners, his first band, when he was 17 years old. At Brough Village Hall, the band travelled 35 miles and received ten shillings, which was his first appearance with The Mariners. Ronson, who was working with The Mariners, another local Hull group, The Crestas, recruited him on the advice of The Mariners' bassist John Griffiths. With Ronson on board, the Crestas forged a strong reputation, appearing regularly in local halls: Mondays at the Halfway House in Hull, Thursdays at the Ferryboat Hotel in Beverley, and Sundays at the Duke of Cumberland in North Ferriby.
Ronson left The Crestas in 1965 and moved to London to seek jobs. He took up a part-time job as a mechanic and formed The Voice, a tribute band that replaced Miller Anderson. Dave Bradfield, the Voice's former drummer, returned to London soon after. Ronson and Bradfield returned from a weekend in Hull to find their gear piled at their apartment, and a note that the remainder of the team had left the Bahamas. Ronson remained in London and briefly performed with The Wanted, a soul band, before heading back to Hull. In 1966, he joined Hull's best local band, The Rats, alongside singer Benny Marshall, bassist Geoff Appleby, and drummer Jim Simpson (who was later replaced by Clive Taylor and then John Cambridge). The group appeared on the local circuit and made a few unsuccessful trips to London and Paris.
Fairview Studios in Willerby, East Riding of Yorkshire, 1967 – 1973. The Rats recorded one-off psychedelic track "The Rise and Fall of Bernie Gripplestone" on the 1975 to 2007 release. Fairview Studios, 1966-1973. The band renamed Treacle for a brief period of time in 1968 and book another recording session at Fairview Studios before reverting to their original name. Ronson was suggested by Rick Kemp to play guitar on Michael Chapman's Completely Qualified Survivor album around this time.
Keith 'Ched' Cheesman, the Rats' replacement for Geoff Appleby on bass, and the line up of Ronson, Marshall, Cheesman, and Cambridge "Morning Dew" was released in 1968.
When John Cambridge left The Rats to join his Hullaballoos bandmate Mick Wayne in Junior's Eyes, he was replaced by Mick "Woody" Woodmansey. The band recorded a final session at Fairview in November 1969, taping "Telephone Blues" and "Early in Spring."
Ronson played guitar on the track "Madman Across the Sea" during Elton John's album Tumbleweed Connection in March 1970. This album, on the other hand, was not included in the original version. Ronson's album, Rare Masters, was released on 1992, as well as the 1995 reissue and the 2008 deluxe version of Tumbleweed Connection.
