MATTHEW REID aka CASEY PAXTON


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.

-Jane / Why Star. ABC records-1961. (Backed by the Four Seasons)
-Through My Tears / Me Tarzan Twist. ABC records-1962. (Bcked by the Four Seasons)
-Cry Myself to Sleep / Lollipops Went Out of Style. Topix records-1962.

CASEY PAXTON.

-Baby, Baby, Go, Go / East is East. Claridge records-1965.



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