DAVE SHOLIN'S Personal Picks - SINGLES ERIC MARTIN - Information (Capitol) Quite a transformation from his debut LP a few years back. His talent as a vocalist can't be denied. Match his maturity as an artist with the productions of Kortchmar and Ladanyi, some great players, and this soulful aide, and you've got a tasty combination.

www.americanradiohistory.com Ronnie Milsap has been makin' music for most of his life. Born in North Carolina, he attended the Governor Morehead School For The Blind. It was there that he received a formal training in classical music. He later turned down a scholarship to Emory University School of Law in favor of playing music for a living. He's been makin' music professionally for two decades, running the gamut from R &B with Scepter Records in the mid - sixties, to doing session work with Elvis in the late sixties, and finally signing on with RCA in the early seventies. He's established himself solidly in the country music field, while never being afraid to cross over into Top 40 and A/C on the slightest whim. RONNIE MILSAP ...MAKIN' M by RON FELL & LISA SMITH
