Who was my favorite member of Faces, one of the best party bands of the early 70's? Was it Rod Stewart? Kenney Jones? Ronnie Wood? None of the above. There was something that I always liked about Ronnie Lane. Whether it was the Faces or the Small Faces before that, Ronnie lent a imperfect soulful voice that you couldn't help but believe.
Ronnie wouldn't end up having a long recording career or life for that matter. He died of complications from multiple sclerosis in 1997. Still, listening to his old records always puts a smile on my face.
Here's Ronnie from his second solo album, Ronnie Lane's Slim Chance, with his take on the Chuck Berry classic.
