We can find nothing about Ellysium, however, we have found some information on the song's writer Ronald Gordon Patton. They have released what appears to be a
first single, "Echoes Of Beginnings", today.
After an orchestral style opening it sounds a bit like The Spinners from
their 70s Thom Bell, Phillipe Wynne led, period. Whether or not this is a brand new song, or something that
has been languishing in the vaults, we don't know but it sounds and, from the artwork, looks vintage.
This song was posted on his Soundcloud channel a week ago along with several other recent recordings (not all soul) and released on Twin Noir which we must presume is his own label. So perhaps it is a new recording but of course the song may have been written/recorded years ago.
Ron Patton (aka Ropatt) was born and raised in Michigan and whilst at college explored songwriting as a profession. When he graduated he continued writing with his twin brother Arnold and promoted their demos to labels and publishers around Detroit. In 1976 the brothers relocated to L.A. where they became staff songwriters for Holland Dozier Holland Music in Hollywood. In 1980 he co-founded Baywest Records in Marina Del Rey, California.
He authored a book last year "Fables & Proverbs: Songwriting’s Secret Weapons for Lyric Writing".
