2005)
Hello, my name is Roger Ridley and I was in the “JOY”
business. I was born in Lumpkin, Georgia, a small town near Atlanta. My career
started in elementary school when I sang in a school program to get out of
English class. I moved to New York City in 1964 and launched my professional
career with Maley & The Isles as the lead singer, the first of many times
as a singer.
I come from a musical family, “all my life I have been
surrounded by music: my mother, my sisters and brothers are all singers and my
father played the guitar, a little.
On
March 29, 1997 I moved to Las Vegas, Nevada where I performed in a show about
street musicians called “Madhattan” produced by Kenneth Feld. After one years of the show
running it closed and a close friend of mine introduced me to the 3rd street
Promenade in Santa Monica California and all of a sudden I was back to
performing in front of millions of people, a diversified audience with one
thing in common, good music.
On November 16, 2005 my Lord and Savior called me home
and I had to go. I have made my mark and am very satisfied in knowing that my
family is keeping my music alive.
You don't remember me
But i remember you
It was not so long ago
You broke my heart in two
Tears on my pillow
Pain in my heart
Caused by you, you
If we could start a new
I wouldnt hesitate
Id gladly take you back
And tempt the hand of fate
Tears on my pillow
Pain in my heart
Caused by you, you
Love is not a gadgit
Love is not a toy
When you find the one you
love
She'll fill your heart
with joy
If we could start a new
I wouldnt hesitate
Id gladly take you back
Tears on my pillow
Pain in my heart
Caused by you,
