Ronny – Burning The Ground: DjPaulT's 80's and 90's Remixes

Burning The Ground Exclusive 1981

“If You want Me To Stay” is a 1981 New wave/Synth-pop single by Parisian model Ronny.

Ronny used to be a top French model. Ronny was brought up in the grim Northern industrial area of France and left home at 14 to go to Paris, there lying about her age and doing terrible jobs. Took dancing classes and jobs then stopped everything and started to write songs. Club entrepreneur Rusty Egan met Ronny in the Paris club Privelege and co-produced with Midge Ure “If You want Me To stay”. Ronny, a masculine name, is the blitz girl who loved to dress up as a boy.
Also, Ronny did a duet with Steve Strange called “The Lady Is A Tramp”. The single was never released.

Ronny recorded three singles for Polydor Records then disappeared into obscurity.
