The Rhode Island Music Hall of Fame finally came around and inducted Ron Lewis. He earned this spot decades ago and I am glad the board stopped dragging their feet. We forced them to recognize a true legend.

I would like the Rhode Island Music Hall of Fame to consider Ron Lewis (founder and former lead singer of Reminisce) for induction. Ron has been performing in RI since the early sixties with such acts as The Desirers and the High Tones.
There is no question he hit his stride with Reminisce. Many of their performances were charity dinner dances and all were sellouts. Several five hundred seat shows at The Venus D Milo as well as West Valley Inn, 1025 Club, UTC Ballroom every year.
Twice Ron and Reminisce opened the big DooWop show at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. They opened shows for other big names such as Sha Na Na at the Warwick Musical Theater, The Four Seasons in Boston as well as Jay Black at Lincoln Greyhound Park. I cannot list all of the big name artist Ron and this band opened for over the years.
I doubt very much that you are not familiar with Ron Lewis or his work. If you need a refresher a simple YouTube search is all you need do.

The Rhode Island Music Hall of Fame can no longer pretend Ron Lewis does not exist. This momentum proves the public knows exactly who defined our local music scene and they are sick of the committee ignoring his legacy.

The Rhode Island Music Hall of Fame continues to ignore Ron Lewis despite his decades of legendary performances. We are just a few names away from hitting one hundred signatures so push this link out to your contacts right now to force their hand.

Ron Lewis is a one of kind talent. He has been a mentor, a leader and a performer that hundreds of musicians and singers have followed and admired for many years. He certainly belongs in the RI Music HOF. Thank you, David
Beautiful Voice. He belongs in the RI Hall of Fame. He sang at my wedding and we couldn't get anyone to leave. I love him!!!
Ron Lewis is my father in law (Michelle Missy Lewis' dad)...please consider him for the nomination into the RI Music Hall of Fame. Music is his passion, and he's a proud Rhode Island native, and nothing would please him more!
He is the top of the Doo Wop singers in this state. His cover of Cara Mia is as god as if not better then Jay Black's version.
We must honor those who carried the torch for this music we loved so much.. Ron did that with class and style for decades.
Without a doubt.
Ron Lewis has been my close friend and singing partner since the early 60’s. No one is more deserving than him. Just go to utube and listen to that amazing voice. Please consider him for the Hall of Fame, he deserves it.
