Nov 19, 2022: Trailers From Hell: Putney Swope: 
It’s a B&W movie, but several parody TV commercials appear in full color. Some are overlong but almost all are screamingly funny, especially the classic Ethereal Cereal spot and a drawn-out and verbally obscene romantic musical piece between Ronnie Dyson and famous model Shelley Plimpton. 
April 23, 2020: NPR: ​Ronnie Dyson: A Transitional Soul Figure Lost To Time
Ronnie Dyson does a couple of records and takes a pause for about three years. Then he records a kind of comeback album in 1976. And for the follow-up album, Love in All Flavors, he reaches out to the combination of Chuck Jackson and Marvin Yancy, the songwriters with Natalie Cole. They were at the height of their powers, the peak of their fame. So they give him this song called "Ain't Nothing Wrong."
Oct 6, 2016: The Gleaner: ​The Music Diaries | Ronnie Dyson achieves much in short lifespan
Ronnie Dyson was en route to become one of the greatest entertainers of all times, when illness aborted his career at the tender age of 40. An immensely talented singer, he enjoyed both stage and musical recording success before age 19, probably the youngest artiste to have done so. Dyson was only 18 years old when he won a lead role in the Broadway production of the 1968 musical, Hair.
​June 5, 1950: Ronnie Dyson was born in Washington, D.C.

Dove grew up in Brooklyn, New York, where he was first exposed to music while singing gospel songs in church as a child. It was Dyson's 16 year-old voice, that led off and opened the show's anthem of the Hippie era - Aquarius, with the famous lyrics, "When the moon is in the seventh house and Jupiter aligns with mars".

In 1971, 'When You Get Right Down To It' reached the U.K. Top 40.

November 8, 1970: Ronnie Dyson played at the U-D Memorial Building in Detroit, Michigan

A heart condition which affected him from the late 1970s, worsened in the late 1980s and he died in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania from heart failure on November 10, 1990. The stories about Dyson's amazing voice and prodigious character have been repeated time and again in pop journals of every persuasion, while his achievements in a short lifespan continue to befuddle many. In an ironic twist of fate, Dyson's father died earlier in 1990.
