Archive material and source history

Ray Peterson was born in Minneapolis in 1939. He signed with RCA Victor in 1960 and released 'Tell Laura I Love Her,' a ballad that reached the top of the charts. The song became a doo-wop standard, though he never matched its success with later singles like 'Corinna, Corinna' or 'The Wonder Of You.'

In 1964, Peterson was arrested for marijuana possession, which hurt his public image. His career faded through the mid-1960s, but he kept performing on the nostalgia circuit for years afterward.
