Ron Baker is a Contemporary Christian singer songwriter and has been since the early days of the Jesus People Movement 1969. He wrote the song "One Name" which some people call One Name Under Heaven. His original mentor was his Uncle Brian Baker, one of five back woods Kentucky born brothers & cut his teeth on Bluegrass and Country music, multi talented artist playing Bluegrass on the front porch of his parents Grants Lick, Kentucky home with multiple other local musicians long before it was called Bluegrass Music and Larry Norman, basically the Grand Father of Contemporary Christian music. Larry would play and sing on the UC Berkley campus where he would stand and sing on the steps and portico of the Architectural Building on campus. He would belt out those anointed songs with no amp or microphone. And then he would move among the students sharing the Bible and praying with folks. Larry was never an idol to me, but I was truly impressed with his dedication as an already label signed musician to watch the way he shared Christ all by himself with no fanfare and I guess I was drawn by God to follow in his foot steps at least that's what he was always praying for me to do. Ron has been the front man for several musical groups since he was fourteen years old. The Kinks, Second Chance and is currently part of a Christian artist group, Ron Baker and Bob. Bob is an incredible musician who I consider a privileged to write and play with. Bob is a truly humble, skilled and talented studio or stage guitar virtuoso, but I would say he prefers the creativeness of the studio. They have recorded three studio albums to date, Ron Baker and Bob, "Lift Him Up" featuring Lift Him Up, Simon, and I'am Alive, a very moving pro-Life song with multiple duets and considerate well known to many to list artist and musicians like Bob Lehman, Babi Mason, Jags lead Guitarist ?, Bass player Jackie Street, Grammy nominee, producers/engineers Mark Dowdy & Tom Laune, and a slew of both Atlanta and Nashville talent to name a few. Their third music project after long last has just released its first single off the CD internationally in Europe, mainland China, and the United States, "I Hear The Night" off the CD, "If You Were The Only One."
