Ronnie was born in the United States on January 16, 1943, in Robbinsville, North Carolina. After a congenital ailment left him partially blind, his mother abandoned him when he was a newborn. His grandma took on the job of rearing him until he was five years old, when he started school. Ronnie’s favorite musical genres were country music, rhythm blues, and gospel music. His professors saw his aptitude when he was seven years old. They took the initiative to enroll him in classical music lessons, as well as piano lessons.
