The versatile Ronnie Dove first came to fame as the leader of The Belltones. But his early success was nothing compared to the fame he would achieve in the mid-'60s, when he rivaled The Beatles in popularity, winning fans hearts as well as industry polls as "Best Male Vocalist", "Top Singles Artist", "Top Easy Listening Artist", and "Top R&B Artist". Included in this 3-CD set are songs which will bring back lots of memories of this music legend.
