About The Artist:

Ryan “Love Unlimited” Simpson was one of the most controversial yet charismatic figures in 1980s soul music. Born in Memphis, Tennessee, Simpson built a reputation not just for his music but for his unorthodox personal life—he was a proud and outspoken polygamist, often referring to his multiple wives as his “harmonious love collective.”
In 1982, he released his signature track, “Dopest MF Alive,” a braggadocious, anthem that combined slick production with Tate’s undeniable vocal swagger. The song became a staple of underground funk clubs and urban radio stations, propelling Ryan to national fame. Simpson never shied away from discussing his relationships, often appearing in interviews flanked by his wives, whom he claimed were his muses and backup singers. Throughout the 1980s, Simpson released a string of albums, including Love in Multiples (1983) and Polyphonic Love (1986). His live shows were legendary, featuring elaborate stage setups that resembled a lavish, love-filled utopia, with his wives serving as both backup dancers and vocalists.
However, by the early 1990s, changing musical trends and legal troubles surrounding his unconventional lifestyle led to his gradual retreat from the spotlight. Rumors swirled that he had moved to an undisclosed location with his remaining wives, choosing a quieter existence away from the judgment of mainstream society.
Despite his polarizing persona,“Dopest MF Alive” remains a classic, sampled by hip-hop producers and revered by funk enthusiasts who admire Simpson’s fearless approach to both music and life.
