Ral Donner was born with a long name, Ralph Stuart Emanuel Donner, on February 10, 1943 in the Norwood Park area of Chicago, Illinois.
He got his start as a recording artist when he recorded a version of The Girl Of My Best Friend, a song originally recorded by Elvis Presley. Many thought it was actually Elvis recording under an assumed name. His biggest hit was You Don't Know What You've Got (Until You Lose It).
Treasure Island Oldies is pleased to spotlight Ral Donner next week on Voice Your Choice with two of his other hits. Cast your vote at the Voice Your Choice page for either The Girl Of My Best Friend or She's Everything (I Wanted You To Be). I'll play the winner on next week's show.
