Description

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!
