Biography

Willis Alan Ramsey, born Willis on March 5, 1951 in Birmingham, Alabama, is an American singer-songwriter. Raised in Dallas, Texas, he graduated from Highland Park High School in 1969 and released his debut album, Willis Alan Ramsey, in 1972 on the Shelter label. The album featured "Muskrat Candlelight," later covered by America as "Muskrat Love" and by Captain & Tennille. Owing to conflict with his label, Ramsey left Shelter, leaving fans awaiting his "mythical second album." In the 1980s, he moved to Great Britain to reconnect with his ancestry and study music narrative, returning to the U.S. in 1989. He has since performed with his wife Alison Rogers, whom he married in 1991. His anticipated second album, Gentilly, has been in production since 1997.
