Richard Monda - known to music fans as Daddy Dewdrop - had a Top 10 hit in 1971 with Chick-A-Boom (Don't Ya Jes' Love It),
But there's a lot more to his story than just one hit. He's been in entertainment almost of his whole life, including roles in major movies when he was a teen in the early '50s. His biggest role was as a young Eddie Cantor in the The Eddie Cantor Story.
Dick has got a lot of great stories to tell. And we’ve got some of them right here, including...
- His experiences in the movie business and why he left it.
- Starting out in music in record promotion, later becoming a producer and songwriter.
- The TV cartoon show and the joke that inspired Chick-A-Boom.
- Seeing his name in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
- What he got out of his hit (and what he didn't).
- What his life is like now.
- And much more!
