Yes, he was known in America in the 80s but his major popularity began with that hossanah album hit "lift him up" in 1992.

From that year, he became a mega star.

Is 1992 late 90's?

If you are referring to my earlier post, that's an error.

It was from 1992, that we began to know him in Nigeria.

Sleep well Papa! The very first African to use his later Life and words to open our the Eyes of we the Chosens to the fact that "Jesus" Name is not completely Powerful because it is a Substitute for ShaAHAYAH (AHAYAHsha) The True Hebrew Name of our SAVIOUR. HalleAHAYAH ASHAR AHAYAH!!!!!!!

Omo I wan cry yesterday, when I saw the news here,
I ran to Google, his information had been updated to read died in February 3 2026

One of the best gospel artists that made my childhood so sweet and beautiful,

"Give me peace, when trouble blows,
Jehovah sees, Jehovah knows, He is my peace." 🎵🎵

This song remains one of my top five favourite gospel songs ever. Rest on Ron. PEACE 🕊

wildernessVoice:
If you don't believe in heaven; I sorry and weep for you.
Repent for The kingdom of God is at hand.

RIP God's General Dr. Ron Kenoly.
The Lord comfort the immediate family and the global body of Christ in Jesus name.

Sweep for yourself. You've been brainwashed

This man made me enjoy my secondary school days. He, Don moen, CeCe Winans and a couple of others. When you have Walkman or disc player then, you are like a king.

Testimonial of a true worshiper and worship leader.
Scandal free life worthy of emulation.
I still remember when he appealed to the cameramen to stop focusing on him and constituting a distraction during a worship service because it was hallowed worship and not a performance.
Ron Kenoly lived the very living scripture he preached with his music.
"Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful... enter thou into the joy of thy Lord."

Ron Kenoly, One of my best greatest Christiaan artist those good old days.
May his gentle soul rest in perfect peace.
Amen

Lift Him up
His name be lifted higher
Lift Him up
Exalt His Holy Name
Lift Him up
His name be lifted higher
Exalt His Holy Name

Let's go up
Going up to
The high places
Going up to
The high places
Going up to
The high places
To tear the devil's
Kingdom down

We're gonna tear
The devil's kingdom down
We're gonna tear
The devil's kingdom down

This song is my testimony when the doctor said the probability of my first child being born was at most 5 to 10%. I rejected that report and sang.

[Chorus]
Whose report will you believe
(We shall believe the report of the Lord)
Whose report will you believe
(We shall believe the report of the Lord)
Whose report will you believe
(We shall believe the report of the Lord)
Whose report will you believe
(We shall believe the report of the Lord)

[Verse]
His report says I am healed
His report says I am filled
His report says I am free
His report says victory

RIP Uncle Ron......

One of the genuine gospel artists.















YOU ARE THE SOLID ROCK ON WHICH I STAND! 😢

Rest in peace man of God
I grew up being blessed by your songs you're truly a gospel minister

Dtruthspeaker:

That is not the issue, you sounded as if death is something that can be avoided.
Nobody wishes his loved one to die but when someone is at a certain age death should not be a surprise. 81 years...how many people even lived up to that age?

I so love this great servant of The Most High God and our LORD Jesus Christ.

I don't know if I have a particular favourite of any of the songs he ministered. They are all powerful songs that make you experience God Almighty.

I love also the song "I See The LORD".

You have said the major point i am expressing which is "Nobody wishes his loved one to die"

My hero. Rest well

Mvnster:
81 is not a bad age.



So the ones that are not evergreen as inspired by who then?? Just say he was a gifted composer and performer just like marley.

Your comparison is weird.

Rip to him. He really made my childhood fun. I remember when we used to listen to his songs(oh the Lord and sing out)

It was Lionel Peterson that sang that song not Ron kenoly

We are all talented one way or the other, some in arts and music, wether gospel, reggae, rock, nothing weird in that.
Why do you say you the so called "ever green" music are inspired by The Holy Spirit, what about the others?
