Ronnie Deauville

Ronnie Deauville (August 28, 1925 in Miami, Florida - December 24, 1990 in Vero Beach, Florida) was a Sinatra-style singer who first became interested in singing while he was in naval air corps during the Second World War. His favorite band was Tommy Dorsey and his singing style reflected admiration for Frank Sinatra's leading vocalist. After the war, a Paramount Pictures talent finder discovered Ronnie when he saw him singing in a small theater play in Hollywood. Thanks to that Ronnie got his first contract in professional Glen Gray's Orchestra. In the following years, Ronnie worked with all the great groups of that time, and as a solo artist he sang at shows such as Ted Mack Family TV and The Colgate Comedy Hour. He was also a guest artist in several top nightclubs such as Mocambo in Los Angeles and El Mirador in Palm Springs.
