Ron François (born April 1958) is a British musician, who first came to notice as the lead singer and bass player of the English R&B band The Strutters, which was involved in the London pub rock scene of the mid-1970s.
From 1978 to 1981, François worked with ex-Strutters Mark Kjeldsen and Bobbi (Irwin) Trehern in the Sinceros, who made two albums for Epic Records, The Sound of Sunbathing and Pet Rock, and achieved moderate success before they disbanded in 1981.
François continued playing sessions while remaining with Epic Records, releasing a solo single, "If You Love Me", before joining the Teardrop Explodes for their Wilder album tour of the UK, Europe, Australia and the US.
The album was in the charts for 47 weeks and spawned three Australian top ten singles, including "The City of Soul" which featured François' trademark funky bass techniques.
Parting company with Eurogliders in 1987, François formed the power pop trio Panic Poets, who released the independent single "Let's Go" in Australia in 1988, gaining good airplay.
