简介

by Andrew HamiltonRonald Tyson Presson is the Temptations fourth replacement for Eddie Kendricks. (Damon Harris, Ricky Owens, and Glenn Leonard preceded him.) Hes also had the most tenure; Tyson, a gifted songwriter, joined the Tempts in 1983, while Kendricks sang with the group for ten years. Born February 8, 1948, in Monroe, NC, Tyson grew up in Philadelphia, PA, and woodshedded with various groups before forming the Ethics with singers he befriended at talent shows. Tyson, Andrew Bike Collins, Joe Freeman, and Carl Nugie Enlow formed a quartet with a range similar to the Temptations. In 1967, Thaddeus Wales started producing the Ethics and their first single appeared on Wales, four on Vent, and a final single on Golden Fleece Records in 1974. Tyson had a hand in writing many of the tunes and in seven years, the Ethics didnt wax any major hits but cut some nice ones like Sad, Sad Story and Farewell.Toward the Ethics waning years, Tysons songwriting talents started to bloom and he collaborated with Philly stalwarts like Norman Harris, Allan Felder, and Bruce Gray in various combinations. Tysons songs appear credited to Tyron Presson, Ronald Presson, and Ron Tyson, depending on the affiliation. He became a key ingredient on Eddie Kendricks projects. While not comfy with the idea, Berry Gordy relented and allowed Kendricks to be produced outside the Motown family. Under the auspices of Norman Harris, Kendricks cut two underappreciated albums: Hes a Friend and Goin Up in Smoke. The former contains one of Tysons best, the romantic Youre a Part of Me. A bona fide red-light special that got lost, it features the endearing lyric: If Adam gave his rib to Eve,then why cant you give your love to me? None of Tysons songs appeared on Goin Up in Smoke, but he contributed backing vocals and merited a Very Special Thanks To on the album cover, along with Allan Felder. When the Temptations left Motown for Atlantic Records, Tyson was a key participant on the Tempts two Atlantic albums and co-wrote their most successful single, In a Lifetime. Tyson co-wrote I Could Dance All Night and the OJays-ish I Wont Leave You Honey, Never for Archie Bell hes Ron Tyson, a multi-talented artist who knew early that music was going to be his lifes work. The only knock to his long career with the Tempts is that his writing has slowed, but he still has nearly 200 songs to his credit. David Tyson, Rons brother, sings with the Manhattans. (更多)
