Jose Ricardo "Ricky" López (born September 6, 1980 in Puerto Rico) is a singer and former member of the well known boy band, Menudo.

[edit] Singing career

Ricky López was discovered musically at age 13, when he was chosen to become a member of Menudo. Edgardo Diaz chose to nickname him "Ricky III", because of Ricky Melendez and Ricky Martin's earlier stints in the group. Lopez soon became known as "Ricky III" by Menudo fans in Puerto Rico and the rest of Latin America.

López recorded two CDs as a Menudo: "Imagínate" -translation"Imagine That!". Which was done in Spanish, and "Vem Pra Mim, which was released in Portuguese, specifically for the band's loyal Brazilfan base.

When time passed it occurred this situation that made him drop out of the band when a member was starting to act strange around him.
