Ronan Tynan

AMERICA'S TENOR

Dr. Ronan Tynan click for his official website

I had heard him sing the National Anthem at Yankee's baseball games. Quite impressive voice. That's all I knew about him though. Last week, he was featured on ABC's Primetime Live.

WOW! ronan tynan

This guy is an inspirational story for the ages. Grew up in Ireland. Had both legs amputated at age 20. Got his medical degree after the amputation. Participated in the Paralympics and holds 14 world records. And now he's the hottest tenor in the world.

U2’s Bono knows it. “When Ronan sings the clouds cry but the sun turns up sooner than it would have,” he has written, in a liner note for Ronan, the tenor’s new recording for Decca. “He sang for my father, Bob, as we put him in the ground, and it felt like shelter. The wind died down, the rain stopped for the loudest, softest voice we have … a great Irish tenor.”
