Ronnie Jones - Under My Thumb Its The Same Old Song

Review by ximing he

Under My Thumb It’s The Same Old Song – A Funky Trip Down Memory Lane Alright, let me just say this upfront: Ronnie Jones’ Under My Thumb It’s The Same Old Song is one of those albums that sneaks up on you. Released in 1976, it’s a funky little gem straddling the worlds of soul and disco with some serious swagger. If you’re into tracks that get your feet moving without trying too hard, this Italian-Canadian collab might be right up your alley. First off, let’s talk about the standout track here: "Under My Thumb / It’s The Same Old Song." Now, I know what you’re thinking—combining a Stones classic (Under My Thumb) with Motown royalty (It’s The Same Old Song) sounds like a recipe for disaster, but somehow Ronnie pulls it off. The groove hits immediately, all smooth basslines and punchy horns, while his voice glides over the mix like butter on toast. What sticks with me most is how seamless the mashup feels; it’s not forced or gimmicky, which could’ve easily happened. Instead, it’s got this irresistible energy that makes you wanna dance around your living room like nobody’s watching. Plus, credit where it’s due to Jagger-Richards and Holland-Dozier-Holland for giving him such stellar material to work with. This one stays stuck in my head for days after hearing it. Another banger worth mentioning is "Soul Sister (Disco Version)." Man, this track just drips vibe. From the opening drumbeat to the lush strings layered underneath, it’s pure disco gold. There’s something hypnotic about the way the rhythm builds—you can almost picture bell-bottomed dancers losing themselves under a spinning mirror ball. And yeah, maybe “Soul Sister” doesn’t reinvent the wheel lyrically, but who cares when it grooves this hard? It’s the kind of song that reminds you why people fell in love with disco in the first place. No frills, no fuss, just good vibes. What’s wild about this album is its international flavor. Ronnie Jones recorded it between Italy and Canada, releasing it through Philips and London Records. That cross-cultural connection kinda shines through—the production has a polished yet raw edge, blending European studio finesse with North American soul grit. Honestly, if you didn’t know better, you’d think it came straight outta Detroit or Philly. Looking back now, Under My Thumb It’s The Same Old Song feels like an underrated slice of ‘70s magic. Sure, it wasn’t a chart-topper or anything groundbreaking, but man, does it have charm. Listening to it today feels like finding an old vinyl at a thrift store—unexpectedly awesome and full of character. And hey, isn’t that what music’s all about? Not everything needs to change the world as long as it gets your toes tapping. So grab a drink, turn up the volume, and let Ronnie take you back to ‘76. Oh, and don’t act surprised if you catch yourself humming these tunes hours later—it’s kinda inevitable.

Este tema lo recuerdo cuando tenía seis años allá en Lima, en 1977. Me encantó tanto que pedí que me compraran el 45. Siempre quise escucharlo nuevamente y luego de casi 40 años vuelvo a escucharlo gracias al Internet.

Disco music
was made for one reason and that was dancing.
All the people who claimed Disco sucked or
Disco died should of taken dance lessons.....
maybe they would have had a different opinion!
