I mentioned in the first post that singer Ronnie Deauville was in a serious traffic accident that left him paralyzed, then came down with polio. His story was told on the popular television program This Is Your Life, and this picture sleeve was designed to capitalize on that appearance. Amazingly, you can see the opening of the show via YouTube.
But the subject here should be Deauville's exceptional talent, which is shown in his outstanding performance of As Children Do, an obscure song that the singer makes his own. It is backed by the standard I Concentrate on You, in this Era records release from late 1957 or early 1958.

Do you have Ronnie's Smoke Dreams LP for Era Records? You have been so busy cleaning out your back room you forgot that it would have been Deauville's 100th birthday in late August.
musicman - Yes, I have that one. Separately, I'm preparing a post with all his recordings from the 1940s through 1951 including transcriptions.
musicman - Actually three posts with 60 songs.
Great! Looking forward to it.
