Ricky Rydell Dillard (born February 25, 1965 in Chicago) is an American gospel music singer, best known for his vocal part in "Let The Music Use You" by The Nightwriters.
Dillard started his recording career in 1987 in Chicago house music, to which he was introduced by the so-called "Godfather of House", DJ Frankie Knuckles, a few years ago. In this genre, he collaborated with notable record producers such as Farley "Jackmaster" Funk on "It's You" (D.J. International Records, 1987) and "As Always" (Trax Records, 1988). He also worked with deep house pioneer Larry Heard, who was the main producer of Dillard's first album, Let The Music Use You, which was released on Jack Trax in 1989.
