 In 1958, although without a recording contract, he played a set at a El Monte Legion Stadium show, singing two numbers, including Ray Charles' hit "What'd I Say". Encouraged by friends Dorsey and Johnny Burnette, he stayed in the music business and in late 1959 he made his first recording using the name Donnie Brooks. His first single, "Li'l Sweetheart", received a lukewarm reception, then his March 1960 hit single, "Mission Bell" on Era Records peaked at No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.[3] His follow-up, "Doll House"/"Round Robin" (a double-sided hit single with a color picture sleeve on Era Records) peaked at No. 31 in December 1960. According to a 2006 concert at Sherman Indian High School, Riverside, California, posted on YouTube,[4] Brooks revealed that he was the voice of the opening theme to the cartoon series George of the Jungle. He also sang the theme to the cartoon series Super Chicken and Tom Slick. In addition to Mission Bell, Brooks produced Merrilee Rush (Angel of the Morning), Cannibal & the Headhunters (Land of 1000 Dances), Len Barry (1-2-3, "Bristol Stomp", "You Can't Sit Down"), Jewel Akens (Birds + Bees)
