Best known for his visual and vocal resemblance to Elvis Presley, Ronnie Mcdowell enjoyed a series of Top Ten hits on the country charts during the first half of the '80s. Mcdowell was born in 1950 and raised in the small town of Portland, TN, and started singing publicly while serving the Navy in the Philippines.
