Review by Rosdiana Kwek

Ronnie Walker's album Can You Love A Poor Boy is a soulful and emotive collection of songs that showcase his incredible vocal range and songwriting ability. From the opening track "I Will Be There" to the closing ballad "Now I Cry," Walker's voice is filled with a sense of longing and vulnerability that is both captivating and heart-wrenching.

The album is a mix of both original compositions and covers, with each song showcasing Walker's unique style and ability to infuse each track with his own personal touch. The standout track on the album is the title track, "Can You Love A Poor Boy," which is a soul-stirring ballad that highlights Walker's incredible vocal range and ability to convey deep emotions through his music.

About Ronnie Walker

Between 1966 and 1975, Philadelphia soul singer Ronnie Walker (died 15th January 2019) released nine singles on almost as many labels. In the late '60s, a couple of his singles -- 1967's "Really, Really Love You" and 1969's "It's a Good Feelin'" -- did well enough locally to make the charts of Philadelphia soul radio stations, without making noise on a national level. Like a number of other male Philly soul singers of the time, Walker, still in his teens when he began making records, had a rich falsetto voice. The records, like many other Philadelphia soul singles famous and obscure, boasted full, sumptuous production, and echoing doo wop in some aspects of the harmonies and song construction. However, they were quite modern in the textural arrangements, combining horns, strings, organs, female backup singers, and such in a polished manner. His singles were not top-level Philly soul in the manner of Brenda & the Tabulations, the Delfonics, Eddie Holman, and so on, but were respectable, and worth finding by fans of the aforementioned artists who want more in the same vein. All but one of the songs from Walker's seven 1966-1972 singles, along with ten previously unreleased songs, were issued by Philly Archives on the 2000 CD Someday. Walker, incidentally, also wrote or co-wrote songs that were recorded by several other artists, ranging from a 1966 single by the Agents to some material in the late '70s, including "Magic's in the Air" by Esther Phillips. His most famous songwriting credit, however, is attached to a song that has little to do with his own Philly soul recordings: Charo's "Cuchi Cuchi."
