Ronnie Dove, born Ronald Eugene Dove on September 7, 1935, in Herndon, Virginia, is an American pop and country music singer known for his string of hit records in the 1960s and several country chart records in the 1970s and 1980s. The son of a Fairfax County police sergeant, Ronnie began his singing career while serving in the U.S. Coast Guard, performing in Baltimore clubs. He formed a group, The Belltones, and released several singles before going solo.

In 1964, Ronnie signed with Diamond Records, releasing his first solo single "Sweeter Than Sugar." His breakthrough came with "Say You," followed by hits like "Right or Wrong" and "Cry." Despite the challenges of the British Invasion and Motown's dominance, Ronnie achieved significant success, producing 23 consecutive charted records and appearing on major TV shows, including The Ed Sullivan Show.

After Diamond Records was sold, Ronnie transitioned to country music with Decca Records and later Melodyland, achieving further chart success. He took a break in the mid-70s but returned in the 1980s with the resurgence of "golden oldies," continuing to perform for large audiences. Personal challenges, including caring for his ailing mother, temporarily paused his career, but he resumed touring after her passing.

Today, Ronnie Dove continues to entertain fans, primarily around Baltimore, Maryland, performing his classic hits and newer country-flavored tunes.
