Ron Miller (songwriter)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ronald Norman Miller is an American popular songwriter and record producer, who attained many Top 10 hits with ballads written for Motown artists in the 1960s and 1970s.

He supplied a number of songs for Stevie Wonder, including four hit singles, in the period prior to 1971 when Wonder took control of his own recordings.

Miller's single biggest hit song was Charlene's "I've Never Been to Me", which flopped when first issued in 1977, but was revived in 1982 to become a massive seller internationally.

He is the husband of Aurora Miller and father of singer Lisa Dawn Miller.
