 | | David's older sister, Judy (who unfortunately passed away just last November) was the sister-in-law of 60's icon Del Shannon, from whom David caught "the performing bug," he recalls. |
 | | When Dean formed a band, David, then in high school, and their younger sister, Julie, 13, were invited to sing with the group. |
 | | David recorded their efforts, took the tapes to several record companies in nearby Detroit, and successfully arranged the release of three 45s on Fortune records, the first of which, "Welcome, Baby, To My Heart," became a regional hit when it debuted in 1966. |
