From album: For The First Time/(I'm Crying) What Went Wrong With Us, (1984)
Released on Smash Records (14) ‎- 12 XMAS (C) 859
Written by N. Mathebula and J. Galanakis
Produced by Emil Zoghby and John Galanakis
Born Ronald Joyce, a child star from the Cape Town fishing village of Kalk Bay, Ronnie Joyce was approached at age 14 by Clive Calder and Ralph Simon to open for Richard Jon Smith. It was a few years before Clive moved to the UK to establish the legendary Zomba/Jive recording empire. In 1975, Ronnie teamed up with a young Jonathan Butler to record It Takes Two. He also scored an international release with 'Give A Little Love', produced by Clive Calder of Clive Calder Productions (CCP Records).
By the 80s Ronnie Joyce had shed the child star image (and the 'Little Ronny Joyce' moniker). This solo 2-track maxi, '(I'm Crying) What Went Wrong With Us' is a good example of bubblegum's crossover roots - it's American disco-soul injected with a driving mbaqanga bassline, thanks to songwriting shared by Emil Zoghby, John Galanakis (Banjo, Pure Gold) and N Mathebula.
