Following the death of Elvis Presley in 1977, Ronnie McDowell came
out of nowhere to dazzle the world with his heartfelt and self-penned
tribute song “The King Is Gone” on the independent Scorpion label. The
record took off immediately, gaining airplay on country and pop stations
across the country and around the world. To date, “The King Is Gone”
has sold more than five million copies. McDowell charted more than
thirty Top 40 hits on the Billboard country music charts. Two of his
singles, “Older Women” and “You’re Gonna Ruin My Bad Reputation,”
reached No. 1 on the country charts, while eleven more reached Top Ten.
He has also released more than twenty studio albums. McDowell also
achieved notoriety when he sang 36 songs on the soundtrack “Elvis,” the
Dick Clark-produced television movie that featured Kurt Russell as the
performer. He also was the singing voice for the television movie “Elvis
And Me”, the ABC television series about the early years of Elvis’
career titled simply “Elvis” as well as, the 1997 Showtime special
“Elvis Meets Nixon.” While Elvis Presley has played a big part in Ronnie
McDowell’s musical career over the years, Ronnie continues to entertain
audiences with his own blend of romantic intimacy and country
excitement.
