Lou Ragland, guitarrista, compositor, cantante y productor de soul y R&B, nació el 18 de julio de 1942 en Cleveland, Ohio. Aunque nunca logró un gran éxito comercial, consiguió labrarse una carrera impresionante. Aprendió a tocar varios instrumentos de caña en su juventud, pero pronto descubrió el R&B y formó su primer grupo vocal universitario, The Monclairs. En 1963, lanzó su primer sencillo, "Never Let Me Go", con su grupo Lou Ragland & the Bandmasters. En 1965, se unió a Billy Ward & the Dominoes y fue vocalista del grupo durante un breve periodo. La leyenda del soul Edwin Starr le presentó al sello Bell Records y Lou Ragland firmó un contrato con su filial, Amy Records, y lanzó su primer sencillo , "I Travel Alone" (1967). El sencillo se convirtió en un clásico de las pistas de baile de northern soul en el Reino Unido y ahora se considera su canción de cabecera. Adoptó el nombre artístico de Volcanic Eruption durante un breve periodo y publicó un sencillo en 1969. Lou Ragland formó entonces un grupo llamado Hot Chocolate -no confundir con la banda británica- y publicó un álbum autotitulado en 1971. Finalmente, en 1977 publicó su primer álbum en solitario Understand Each Other. En 1979 fundó el sello Great Lakes Records antes de trasladarse a Las Vegas (Nevada) al año siguiente. En 1982 publicó el single de soul "Didn't I Tell You ", que tuvo una gran acogida. En 1986, se unió a George Holmes' Ink Spots (también conocido como The World Famous Ink Spots) como guitarrista y voz de barítono. Lou Ragland, que nunca se quedaba quieto, formó el grupo de gospel First light y publicó dos álbumes en 1986. Continuó siendo un artista de grabación e intérprete ocupado, incluso formó un cuarteto vocal llamado Las Vegas Tenors. En 2012, el sello Numero Group publicó una antología de su carrera titulada I Travel Alone. Lou Ragland falleció el 19 de agosto de 2020, a la edad de 78 años.
