Video: Please Keep Me In Mind
"Please Keep Me In Mind" - Recorded in New York by Tobin Matthews (Willy Henson) in 1962 on Columbia Records. This song was written by Al Kasha who was my manager and A&R man. I'll tell you more about Al in a future post.
I Love this music! I am a friend (colleague) of Holly's and found this page from her post on Twitter. You have raised an amazing daughter and we are all so proud to know her and work with her. But, your music is beautiful. Takes us all back to a time with so many great memories. Please keep posting your work and offering your tribute. Then, Holly can show you how to drive massive traffic for those that will also enjoy your music and tribute. -Susan Hill
I was an early rock and roll singer and began my career in Chicago in 1957. Most of my younger years, I lived in Calumet City, Ill. til the age of 21. My real name is Willy Henson, stage name, Tobin Matthews. Bob and Dick Poppel and Erma J. Nelson, all from Poppels Under 21 Tropicana Club in Riverdale, Ill., set me up with my first band, The Rhythm Rockers My next band was Jimmy and the Jeepers later changed to Willy and the Jeepers I worked with a lot of the Chicago DJs, Jim Lounsbury, Jan Gabriel, Dell Clark, Howard Miller, Pappy John and many others. We played many record hops, school proms, etc.
I recorded for USA, Columbia and Warner Bros. records from 1960 to 1966.
Today, the best things in my life are my daughters Holly and Carrie, my grandsons Ty, and Cam and my granddaughter Payge. I have two brothers, George and Tim, and one sister, Marcia. I enjoy listening to my oldies record collection, flea markets, auto racing and Da Bears.
Looking forward to the new task of documenting my early music career on this blog that my daughter Holly helped me create.
