WAGRadio's EAST VAN FAN & FRIEND GEORGE BALKOVEC SENT US THIS AND WE HAD TO SHARE IT WITH ALL Y'ALL - 1946 - Frank "Sugarchile" Robinson - "Caldonia"



Eight year old Frank "Sugarchile" Robinson performs in the 1946 film "No Leave, No Love"
starring Van Johnson.
WAGRadio's pal, George Balkovec, had sent it to us assuming that the video's accompanying story stating that the boogie-woogie piano playing chile' was a little LITTLE RICHARD, was in fact the truth.
We were skeptical.
George did some diggin' and found out that indeed it was "Sugarchile" Robinson and not Richard Wayne Penniman.
Good work G.
And thanks for a wonderful piece of nostalgia from back before back-in-the-day.
