David Charles L'Heureux from Meriden,CT was discovered by legendary indie producer BOB CREWE and recorded his first single when I was still a senior in Cheshire High School in Connecticut.
Recorded under three different names (Matthew Reid/Casey Paxton/David LaRue).
He is present in the doo wop guides as...
MATTHEW REID.

-Cry Myself to Sleep / Lollipops Went Out of Style. Topix records-1962.
CASEY PAXTON.

Later was a figure of not inconsiderable repute in the disco circles of the late 1970s under the name of D.C. LaRue.
