Ronnie Self (July 5, 1938 – August 28, 1981) was an American rock 'n' roll musician, vocalist best known for his original 1957 rockabilly original, "Bop-A-Lena," becoming a hit single in the United States and a critically-acclaimed chart-topping hit in Australia for two consecutive years. Self recorded 12-15 country and gospel songs between 1957–late 1959/early 1960 to underwhelming popular reception, generally limited to the regional southern United States, a few of which remained unrleased until the 21st century. Beginning in 1960, and performer(later covered by Gene Vincent), Self began writing music as a lyricist/songwriter, and through 1964, wrote a number of critically-acclaimed, highly-successful rock 'n' roll/pop rock (the early '60s was the transition period between both genres), pop, country, pop rock, easy listening, and jazz songs, most of which were performed by Brenda Lee and Carl Perkins to great success.
