Ronnie Milsap - Since I Don't Have You

[@TimmyShown]

Ronnie Milsap can do any style of music. He's such a strong vocalist. I love his bluesy songs. He ruled the 1980’s.

[@joshualazenby1387]

He had a chart cross over with "I wouldn't have missed it for the world".

[@jameshancock7285]

I saw Mr Milsap in concert, years ago. Youd never know this man was blind, by the incredible show he has. And an awesome sense of humor. His talent is beyond great. God bless you, sir.

[@brianh1161]

Where Ronnie took an already great song and sent it into outer space. Deserves far more radio play than it gets. Love this dude.

[@Paparoxx]

I'm retired radio and can say I really enjoyed Ronnie's career. He was very, very good.

[@SW-Lopez1980]

Today's Music is Trash compared to songs of the 1950s-90s (all genres). Singers back then could hold a note & go Acapella at a Moments notice. Everyone's "hidden talent" today is Auto Tune💔 I was born in 1980 so I've witnessed the Unfortunate Decline in Creativity in the last 20 years. Some Artists today don't have the Talent or Ambition to sing in the Shower, much less in a Bad Commercial. Today...Hearing what Society refers to as Music is comical. (Sorry if I've offended anyone's taste in Music, this is just my opinion, whether we agree or not) Many blessings to Ronnie Milsap & anyone reading this🙏

He was born with congenital glacoma. He had some sight in one eye until a teacher hit that eye. His Mother abandoned him, she was religious and believed God punished her with a child that was almost completely blind. His grandparents raised him. Read his autobiography its titled. It was almost like a song. I've read it.

Actually, I think you would have had to live in the fifties to fully appreciate this song/video. It was magical. I thank God for allowing me to live in a time before things got artificial, cynical, and political.. Ronnie Milsap is a precious and tremendous talent. I thank God for him too!

Great cove of the Skyliners hit. And you are right about the 50s. I graduated highschool in 1957. There were no better times.

[@leavnsmallville78]

Question for you guys from a 43 year-old father of three: is the phrase "Simpler, but not easier" an accurate way to describe this time? I can remember the nostalgia for the 50s and 60s from when I was a kid back in the 80s. I never thought I'd feel nostalgic for the "country-politan" era but here I am. Take care.

[@Aereaux]

@@leavnsmallville78 Simpler? We did not live in a digital world. Dial phones or phones where you had to have an operator place the call. Party lines so you had to wait your turn. Radios with tubes and portable radios were really big. Music you could understand. Great cars. The 57 Chevy is the all-time classic. You rode your bikes and walked to school. Played outdoors in the street until it got dark. Respected you parents, the police and just about everyone else. But not easier? We lived under the constant threat of a nuclear war. At least that is what they told us. Some people dug fallout shelters in the back yard. Russia was the belligerent neighbor that no one wanted to be associated with. China was just starting to flex its mussels. We lived through the war in Korea and the start of the civil rights movement. Would I go back. Yes and no. I enjoy most of today's conveniences. Like typing in KZbin. But I would like to live in a world where there was less us versus them in our everyday life.

We saw Ronnie Milsap a few months ago in Gainesville Georgia. It was sad to listen to him singing because he was way off. Nonetheless, it was still worth the price of admission to see the legend perform.

[@brianfleeman311]

I saw him in 2015, and I was embarrassed for him. Slurring his words, even missing several notes on the 🎹 he's my favorite singer ever, but he really should stop touring

A year later...still lov'n this song. Incidentally, (reference video) they were called "sock hops" back then because they were dances held on the gym floor without shoes (usually after a basketball game). The shoes came off because they didn't want scuff marks from the street shoes to marr those pretty hardwood floors. Enjoy the memories!
