Ronnie Dyson: I Don't Wanna Cry
Ronnie Dyson - "I Don't Wanna Cry"
Tonight I've been spinning Ronnie Dyson's 1970 album, (If You Let Me Make Love to You Then) Why Can't I Touch You. It's not an exceptional album, by any means, but it's got its share of soulful gems.
"I Don't Wanna Cry" is the track that I currently have on repeat--immaculate, late 60s soul. Dyson's vocal is pretty much perfect, and recalls the great Otis Redding more than a little bit.

what a cover!
I have played Dyson's albumn all weekend. If you "Let Me Make Love to you..." previously had been the song I would repeat. This weekend, I listened to
"I Don't Wanna Cry No More," and "Emily" at least 50 times each. My opinion, the entire albumn is a masterpiece. If I find a good special sale on the albumn, I would purchase at least 2more of same.Its amazing how one who looks so innocent as Dyson does,on cover, can sing with so much experience, seemly in romance. He moves me!
yes, i thought the cover was quite fetching too. i couldn't find any images of it on the internet, so i uploaded it myself. tragic that he died rather young.
the album didn't quite strike me as a masterpiece, but i do plan on listening to it again soon.
I've had a hard time finding the album. I just remember the FANTASTIC cover he did of "Love Won't Let Me Wait" on that same album. Would you have it to share?
