Ronald Montague "Ronn" Moss (born March 4, 1952) is an American actor, musician and singer/songwriter, a member of the band Player, and best known for portraying Ridge Forrester, the dynamic fashion magnate on the CBS soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful from 1987 to 2012.
Moss was born and raised in Los Angeles. He grew up surrounded by the theatre, concert, and rock & roll music world. At age 11, he started learning to play the drums, guitar and electric bass. In 1976, Moss joined creative forces with fellow singer/guitarist Peter Beckett, guitarist/keyboardist J.C Crowley, and drummer John Friesen to form the band Player, primarily as bassist and singer. In a garage in the Hollywood Hills, they wrote and rehearsed the music that would soon attract the attention of music impresario Robert Stigwood, who signed them to his RSO Records.
In the first three weeks of 1978, their single "Baby Come Back" occupied the #1 position on the national pop charts & Player was voted to the Billboard Magazine honor roll of Top New Singles artist of 1978. Their follow-up single, "This Time I'm in It for Love,", also peaked at No. 10 the same year.
"Baby Come Back" was next to "Sara Smile" by Daryl Hall & John Oates as well as "How Much I Feel" by Ambrosia one of the very few songs by a white artist to be played on predominately black radio stations which enabled them to contribute to a Musical Genre known as "Blue Eyed Soul." where White Artists sing with a strong R & B Influence.
The Australian edition of his 2000 album includes a fresh duet of the original hit "Baby Come Back" & two bonus tracks, "That's When I'll Be Gone" & "Mountain". Moss along with his band toured Australia between August and September 2006. In 2007, he released his new solo album, Uncovered (Stefano Cecchi Records).
