Ron Hicklin, Session singer- The Wrecking Crew of Singers

Ron Hicklin was one of those unsung heroes. (Pun intended) He and the singers brought life to so many artists and themes throughout the 60s, 70s, and 80s. They worked right along with the Wrecking Crew musicians. The Ron Hicklin Singers were a group of Los Angeles studio singers contracted and organized by Ron Hicklin. They are mostly known as the real singers behind the background vocals on The Partridge Family recordings. In Los Angeles studio circles in the 1960s through 1980s, they were the vocal equivalent of (and often worked with) The Wrecking Crew, performing backup vocals on thousands of songs, TV and movie themes, and as lead (while remaining anonymous) singers on thousands of radio and television commercials. The core group usually consisted of: Ron Hicklin, lead tenor Tom Bahler, tenor John Bahler, tenor Jackie Ward, alto Sally Stevens, soprano Gene Morford, bass However, this core group was often augmented with other specialist vocalists such as: Thurl Ravenscroft, bass (voice of Kellogg's Tony the Tiger of Frosted Flakes cereal for 50 years, and the vocalist for "You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch"!) Mitch Gordon Jim Haas Andra Willis Linda Dangcil The group performed themes for major motion pictures in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s: Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, "South American Getaway" written Burt Bacharach Death Game, "Dear Old Dad" written by Jimmie Haskell with lyrics by Iris Rainer Dart The Mosquito Coast, "Saviour, Like a Shepherd Lead Us" written by William Batchelder Bradbury Rosemary's Baby The group also sang the themes for major hit-TV shows of the period: Love, American Style, with lead vocalist John Bahler (opening theme Batman Flipper That Girl, season 5 opening Happy Days, for which Hicklin himself sang lead (opening theme Laverne & Shirley, along with lead vocalist Cyndi Grecco (opening theme) Wonder Woman, with John Bahler singing lead (season2 opening) Angie, along with lead vocalist Maureen McGovern (opening theme)
