ABOUT
Ronnie Dove (b. 1935) is a former pop/country singer-songwriter with clear, strong tenor vocals and a flair for romantic ballads who became famous beginning in the mid 1960s. His long string of hits on the Pop/Rock charts from 1964-1969 includes the heartfelt "Say You" (1964), the catchy "Right Or Wrong" (1964), the nostalgic "One Kiss For Old Times' Sake" (1965), the gentle "A Little Bit Of Heaven" (1965), the evocative "When Liking Turns To Loving" (1966), and his rendition of Johnny Ray's "Cry" (1966). Dove began his long career in the 1950s when he formed The Belltones, the band with which he performed throughout the Baltimore, Maryland area and the East Coast.
Dove later went country and had several hits on the Country charts from 1972-1987 that include "Kiss The Hurt Away" (1972), "Things" (1975), and "Rise And Shine" (1987). He continued to perform and record actively through his retirement in 2023.
