Ronnie Bright was the uncredited bass voice in Johnny Cymbal's "Mr. Bass Man."  Ronnie started singing in 1952 at the ripe age of 24.  He was with several groups but couldn't make it and soon became a "sessions bass voice" hiring out to artists as THE accompanying bass voice.  His first charting song was bass accompaniment in Barry Mann's "Who Put The Bomp" earning #7 on the charts.  In 1963, he was bass accompaniment for Jackie Wilson's Baby Workout, charting #5.  In 1968 he was asked to join The Coasters #2 where his talents were optimized and he stayed with them until 2009 when he retired.  Actually, the Coasters, including Ronnie Bright, toured Alaska and performed at the Petersburg Moose Club (Petersburg, Alaska - 3,000 people, cats and dogs) in or around 1998 - I was there and they were "the old Coasters" in all their glory with Ronnie belting out the bass.  I think the whole town was there that night!!  Wow!.  He passed away just a few years ago - 2015.  Ronnie left quite the legacy.

Glad you brought him up, Lorne.  His voice certainly complemented the voices of the leads in those songs.  Great booming bass voice!  Thanks again for bringing him up.

Believe me Lorne, it was MY PLEASURE!

Thanks for all the info and interesting reading material!!!
