Ronnie McNeir - Lucky Number

Ronnie McNeir made a record as a teenager called "Sitting In My Class", which became a huge Northern Soul favourite. He became close friends with Kim Weston and moved to Los Angeles. Ronnie then returned to his home town of Detroit, and built up his recording career. After recording for many more labels, he signed to Prodigal, which became a part of Motown, and then recorded for Motown itself. He was a major part of our Motorcity project, writing for many other artists, along with his lifetime friend, "Four Top" Obie Benson, as well as singing for us as an artist. He is now a permanent member of the Four Tops, since only one original member is now left, Duke Fakir. My friend Ralph Tee flew to Las Vegas, where Ronnie now lives, especially to shoot this video. The song was first recorded in 1989, then years later went on to become one of the first of these Motorcity recordings to be wholeheartedly welcomed and adored by the Northern Soul scene, and Radio One actually phoned up and asked for a copy, something unheard of both before and since. I co-wrote the song with Ronnie, and it has all the joyous optimism that I could ever wish for.

Cool video, the Tops are still a great show, I love their concerts.

Talk about wow factor! Love the voice and as for the lyrics, well compared to the present days music, its so refreshing as more than three words are used and there is actually meaning behind the song!

This video is fantastically cheesy. GREAT voice. I love when Ronnie sings Just Ask The Lonely and Still Waters at the current shows. Awesome stuff.
