Ronald "Ronnie" Dyson (June 5, 1950 — November 10, 1990) was an American singer and actor.
Early career
Dyson, a native of Washington, D.C., grew up in Brooklyn, New York, where he performed in church choirs. He had a leading role in the Broadway revival of Hair, debuting in New York in 1968. Dyson became a well-known voice of the 1960s, as the lead vocal in the show's anthem of the hippie period, "Aquarius." It's Dyson's voice leading off the song and opening the show with the lyric "When the Moon is in the seventh house, Jupiter aligns with Mars." He performed "3-5-0-0" with another Hair sham artist, Melba Moore.
Later career
Dyson appeared in the 1969 film Putney Swope.
Dyson continued his acting career after Hair, beginning in 1970 in Salvation. "If You Allow Me Make Love to You" a song from Salvation's score, why can't I Touch You? "This is a successful start to his career, debuting at number eight on the US Billboard Hot 100 in 1970. "I Don't Wanna Cry" was the sequel to the "I Don't Wanta Cry" series, and it debuted at number nine on the US R&B.
His 1971 album, "When You Get Right Down to It," was a more modern version of a song that hadn't been a hit for the Delfonics in the previous year; in December, it debuted at number 34 on the UK Singles Chart.
Columbia Records, his record company, sent him to Philadelphia in 1973 to be produced by Thom Bell, one of the day's top producers, for several tracks. Bell's highly orchestrated style suited Dyson with hits such as "One Man Band (Plays All Alone), number 28 on the R&B chart and number 15), and "Just Don't Want to Be Lonely," peaking at number 60 on the Hot 100 and number 29 on R&B. They appeared on an album that was also made up of re-mixes of some earlier albums, including "When You Get Right Down to It."
Dyson stayed with Columbia for another three albums, The More You Do It (1976), Love in All Flavors (1977), and If the Shoe Fits (1979). The first of the three threesome girls' debuts on the R&B chart at number six, with the title track debuting at number six. It was created by Charles "Chuck" Jackson (half brother of Jesse Jackson and no heir to the more well-known singer of the 1960s) and Marvin Yancy, who had been instrumental in the introduction of Natalie Cole's career with a series of hits. (Jackson and Yancy had also produced hits for a Chicago soul band The Independents, with whom Jackson was also lead singer).
Dyson also provided the vocals for the song "Nola" on the She's Gotta Have It soundtrack in 1986.
Dyson later became a Cotillion Records subsidiary label in 1981, a modestly popular series. His acting and singing careers had stalled in the late 1970s due to poor health, and Dyson's debut on Cotillion's "All Over Your Face" in 1983. In 1990, he released "See The Clown" as his last solo record.
