RONNIE DEAUVILLE, RALPH EDWARDS, TEX BENEKE CLIIP 2
A short video clip of Tex Beneke paying tribute to Ronnie. The date was July 1957 Ronnie Deauville on this is your life after polio struck him 3 months before the polio vaccine came out. The show was done one year after he spent in a iron lung fighting for his life. He was a big band singer of the best kind with recording contracts waiting for him when this misfortune hit him. This segment was a complete surprise as he was asked to do a commerical for The March of Dimes and was indeed surprised at what ensued. A very charismatic singer, man and performer.
