 Dawson's voice gave the impression that he was several years younger than his actual age, and although he toured nationally with Gene Vincent and appeared on TV, the record gained no more than regional airplay.His second record, "Rockin' Bones", credited to Ronnie Dawson "The Blond Bomber", was released in 1959, and again failed to chart.He performed with the well-established western swing group the Light Crust Doughboys for a time between 1957 and 1960 - releasing one single with the group and harmonica player Delbert McClinton, which was credited to Johnny & the Jills - before signing as a solo singer with Dick Clark's Swan label.
