He was well known in the ’60s and ’70s as the lead singer of Dougie James and the Soul Train, who briefly toured with The Jackson Five.
Ryan gets his Indian heritage from his grandfather (from his father’s side) who was born in Mumbai, India. His granddad moved from Mumbai to Manchester back in 1947.
