Wibbage Remembers Donnie Brooks

Donnie Brooks, who appears on Wibbage.Net singing his pop hit Mission Bell, was quaite a character in the music business. Donnie worked hard to find his niche in the pop music world, trying several different styles - and even names- before his caught lightning in a bottle on the little Los Angeles based Era label with Mission Bell. He then parlayed that one hit into decades of music work in the Los Angeles area, including a stint at Frank Sinatra's Cal Neva casino. With no more pop hits, Donnie morphed over to the Rockabilly genre whee he did well enough that he was elected to the Rockabilly Hall of Fame just a year before his death in 2007. What a character....it was a pleasure to know him.
