Post 772 - Rockwell T. James - The Singles

 

Rockwell T James, (Ronnie Peel) was, amongst other things a member of The Missing Links, La De Da's, John Paul Young All Stars and Thunderclap Newman. As a solo performer he recorded his first single in 1968, ''Love PowerNew Orleans Funk'' on the Festival label with the Rhythm Aces (of which I have no information who made up the band) which did OK. Peel and the Rhythm Aces performed at Sydney's Whisky A Go Go and they also travelled to Melbourne for a series of gigs at Berties. It would be another eight years before he released his second single ''Come On Home'' on the Infinity label in 1976. His third and best-known song ''Roxanne'' was released in the same year and made the Top 40 nationally. The one and only album Ronnie released was 'A Shot Of Rhythm and Blues' the brainchild of Garth Porter, who enlisted the help of Sherbet, Kevin Borich, Janice Slater, Ted Mulry and Cheetah to record the album. Ronnie Peel died in 2020.Thanks to Henry for more fine art work. Flac
