About New Album

Ronnie revives “Lost in the Fifties Tonight” for 2014’s Summer Number Seventeen (his twenty-seventh major label album, produced by Ronnie, Tom Collins and Rob Galbraith and released on the Legacy Recordings label), a record that unabashedly celebrates the ’50s in the fashion of Ronnie’s ’80s. Milsap bends the rules slightly, finding space for ’60s Motown (Jimmy Ruffin’s “What Becomes of the Brokenhearted”) and ’70s Philly soul (the Stylistics’ “You Make Me Feel Brand New”), but this is still super-smooth adult contemporary fueled by his gossamer electric piano and grounded by his still supple croon. Summer Number Seventeen is supposed to comfort and soothe, to bring back rose-colored memories of any number of possible pasts, and in that regard it succeeds handsomely. (AllMusic)
