 Ronnie Lane - Biography - AOL Music
As the former bassist for the Small Faces, and later the Faces, Ronnie Lane left both bands when he felt the spirit of the group had died, gaining him the reputation of an uncompromising artist, and allowing him the opportunity to release some fine solo material in the '70s.
Although Lane was the unacknowledged leader among the group members, audiences were drawn to singer Rod Stewart, and when Stewart's burgeoning solo career began affecting the quality of the Faces' albums, Lane jumped ship to form his own band in 1973.
Sadly, Lane was diagnosed with the debilatating disease multiple sclerosis in the late '70s, severely curtailing his musical output.

There is now an Official Ronnie Lane Site, and this one will stand as an archive and tribute, though if/when the recent BBC documentary The Passing Show becomes available for rebroadcast or sale, I will post the information here.
Ronnie Lane was bassist, songwriter, and occasional vocalist with one of the great bands of the 1960's, the Small Faces, and one of the coolest bands of all time, the Faces.
Lane was to his bands something of what Pete Townshend was to the Who: brilliant, striking rather than glamorous, susceptible to mysticism, and grounded more in rural blues and troubador attitude and English folk traditions than the sharp-dressed pop ethos.

Ronnie Lane, despite never achieving the same level of stateside fame as his friends Pete Townshend, Eric Clapton, and Jimmy Page, was no less one of the seminal figures in the early years of the British Invasion.
Lane was born in 1946 in London's East End, and was a pop star before he turned 20.
Lane's worsening physical condition -- originally blamed on too much drink -- was becoming apparent to everyone, and he was soon diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, the disease that also felled his mum.

 Ronnie Lane - Anymore for Anymore - On Second Thought - Stylus Magazine
Finally quitting in June of 1973, Lane retreated to his hundred-acre farm in Wales named Fishbowl with second-wife Kate and a motley road-crew of musicians and friends he referred to loosely as The Slim Chance Band.
This is Lane setting out for travel again, always the rock vagabond and its lone lost light, and wanting only the company of its many lapses and returns.
Here, loused with drunken fervor and amnesia, Lane is allowed a band-rehearsal version and can be heard shouting out chord changes to the Faces, missing choruses, mumbling “da da das” to himself instead of verses, and completely forgetting his lines.

 Ronnie Lane and Slim Chance
Later in 1974, Lane reformed the band, but with Gallagher and Lyle having gone solo and Chrissie Stewart gone off to play for Joe Cocker, it was with a very different line-up.
Lane was teaching himself guitar on an instrument his father was buying for him on hire purchase, but it soon became clear to him that there would be much more potential for him to join a major group if he were a bass player, as few young musicians in London during 1965 were playing bass.
At London's Royal Albert Hall, Lane was able to drag himself on stage to sing 'Goodnight Irene' with the assembled ad hoc supergroup, and his appearance was one of the most affecting moments in the history of rock music.

 Ronnie Lane
I have always thought that Ronnie Lane, while certainly being absolutely unjustly forgotten over the years, still wasn't such a great songwriting talent as some depict him.
Ronnie was always the 'quieter' guy, with a tendency to play unpretentious, cozy folk ballads and countryish rockers, whereas Stewart and Co. presented the Faces as a loud, brawny, boozy and bloozy band.
It really seems like Ronnie is singing all this stuff to you, in your private bedroom or living room, not in a sweaty stadium, like Rod.

 Ronnie Lane tribute
Luckily, this "come-all-ye" in memory of the much-loved Ronnie "Plonk" Lane was a thoroughly merited testimonial for an artist who's rarely received his due.
Lane died of multiple sclerosis in 1997, and this tribute was mounted by promoter and lifetime fan John Hellier to raise money for his family and in aid of MS research.
Townshend's "Heart to Hang Onto," from his 1977 collaboration with Lane, "Rough Mix," was moving both for his affectionate introduction and its signal that Townshend's artistic mercury is clearly rising again.

 Get Ready to ROCK! Review of CD album called Anymore For Anymore by Ronnie Lane
A stylish double CD re-issue, complete with a bonus CD of covers, demos, etc. Originally released in 1974 it has well known tracks such as the acoustic strumming of ‘Roll On Babe’, the catchy ‘The Poacher’ and the bar room boogie of ‘Chicken Wired’.
Ronnie Lane has a very delicate vocal style on the mellower moments but can crank it up as can be seen by the latter track.
Highly recommended for all Faces and Ronnie Lane fans, plus anyone who loved the 70’s rock and folk sounds.

 Ronnie Lane: Live in Austin - PopMatters Music Review
Of course, the sad irony is that Ronnie Lane, the sparkplug of both The Small Faces as well as The Faces, isn't live anywhere.
His version of "Buddy Can You Spare a Dime" is effecting without being maudlin, even when sung by a man who struggled the last years of his life to pay his medical bills, all the while being shafted by his former record companies.
Ronnie Lane may well not be the most familiar name in rock history to the casual fan.

I have always been a huge fan of Ronnie Lane's work both as a member of the Small Faces and Faces and also his solo work which I am glad to see is gaining more converts every day.
Both Rod Stewart and Ian McLagan have described Ronnie as the heart and soul of the Faces and I tend to agree with their description of him.
It is such a shame that this side of the Faces was overlooked in favour of the 'One Of The Lads' approach.

 Rolling Stone : Ronnie Lane: Live In Austin : Music Reviews
When Ronnie Lane died in 1997 after a twenty-year battle against multiple sclerosis, he left behind a trail not of tears but of smiles.
Live in Austin features unplugged-style radio shows from the late 1980s, when Lane was living in Texas and gigging with the cream of the local players, and it is touching proof that even in his darkening years Lane maintained a stalwart cheer and work ethic.
In "Rio Grande" (titled "Bomber's Moon" when Lane sang it on the 1983 A.R.M.S. benefit tour) and the cantina-rock arrangement of Chuck Berry's "You Never Can Tell," you can hear Lane, clearly invigorated by the love and chops of his young Austin musicians, freely stirring Texas grit into his alehouse-country sound.
