BANKRUPT and RONNIE DYSON

The Date was now about Late Summer Time of 1988, I had Closed Down the Takeaway and with the Debt I had Accumulated through that, I was advised to go Bankrupt, Which I did!

After Speaking to Several Different Companies and People (who know about these Things) I was Advised about a Couple of the Most Important Thing's to Concern us at that Time, The Main Thing was Our House, We were Actually in a Council House, so this Could Not be Taken from Us, and Secondly, we had a Car, which I had only Brought about 2 months Earlier (I had Swapped my Van for a Morris Marina) so this Would have been Taken off us by the Official Receiver.


Obviously I Needed to Keep our Car at that Time, Not Least for, I was Started to Look for a New Job and Needed Transport for Job Interviews!

I was Advised by Somebody, to Start Parking Our Car, Somewhere else at Night Times and Not Outside Our House, this I did for a Couple of Weeks, this was in Case of Bailiffs Visiting!

Thankfully Bailiffs Never Did Visit Our House, but we did have Somebody from the Receiver's Office come Round, this was to Check on Our Belonging's etc, and to see whether I had Told The Truth in about our Circumstances!

I Remember this Period of Time, being a Strain on us (me and Susan) and Our Kids, not to Mention my Mother who had put Her House up for Security on the Takeaway!

The Landlord from the Takeaway Wasted No Time in Trying to get Money from Me Personally and Via the Official Receiver, as I have said Previously, that Bloke was a Tw@t, who I Did Not Like.

I Believe Nowadays, if you want to go Bankrupt, you can do so on the Internet, back in the 80's it was a Bit Harder than that, I can Remember Several Trips to Norwich to see the Receiver on my own, Trying to Sort things out, I Never Wanted Susan with me, as I thought I had got into that Mess, she had Nothing to do with that, so I had to Sort it out Myself!

After Several Weeks of being Treated like a Murderer and Sending Papers Backward and Forward to the Receivers Office etc etc, I got a Date for the Bankruptcy Hearing, I believe it was early October Time of 1988, so at Last things were going to be Resolved!

Cover of Ronnie Dyson

Now for some Music, Back in 1971 Actor/Singer Ronnie Dyson had  his 3rd Single Released on Columbia Records, it was a Cover Version from 1970's Hit from the Delfonics "When You Get Right Down To It" 

What a Great Voice "Ronnie Dyson" had, his Version of the Song in my Opinion is as Good as the Delfonics!

Ronnie Dyson Released some Great Music for around a 13 Year Period, He Seemed to be Very Under Rated in the Music World for Some Reason!

This Track Reached the Chart Position of Number 37 on the US R&B Chart, the Delfonics Version had Reached Number 12, but Ronnie Dyson's Version did Achieve Something that the Delfonics Did Not Manage, it got to Number 34 on the UK Pop Charts, his Only Ever UK Chart Entry!

During his Career "Ronnie Dyson" Released 7 Albums in Total with  13 Singles also Released.

Ronnie Dyson Died in 1990 from Heart Disease.
