Ronnie Peel

Ronald Robert Peel (1946 – 2020), who also performed as Rockwell T. James, was an Australian guitarist, singer and songwriter. He was a member of numerous bands starting with the Missing Links and the Pleazers in the mid-1960s; then the La De Da's from 1972 to 1975 and in various backing bands for John Paul Young (1975–1979, 1983, 1986–2003). He released a solo album Shot of Rhythm and Blues in 1977 under the James pseudonym, which provided his only top 40 single, "Roxanne". He co-wrote "Rock Me Gently" (October 1976) for Sherbet with its band members, which is a top 10 hit for that group. Peel died in 2020 due to an unspecified cancer.
