Here’s 7-year-old Frankie “Sugar Chile” Robinson in 1955’s No Leave, No Love with Van Johnson, Keenan Wynn and Marina Koshetz. He’s playing his hit “Caldonia”. Frankie was performing “Caldonia” at a 1946 gala when he belted out “How’m I Doin’, Mr President?” to Harry Truman, which became a catch phrase of the moment.
As a teenager, Robinson chose to return to school, graduated from high school at 15 and then earned his college psychology degree.
