Daddy Dewdrop is a pseudonym for the American songwriter Richard "Dick" Monda (born 1940, Cleveland, Ohio, United States).
His first production with Moonglow Records was "Don't Do It Some More", by The Cindermen, credited under the pen name Daddy Dewdrop.
Two years later, after producing music for the Saturday morning cartoon series Groovie Goolies, he released the song "Chick-A-Boom", originally written for the show.
[1] Monda put together a backing band of studio musicians, including Tom Hensley, who later became the musical director for Neil Diamond, and Butch Rillera, who became a member of the group Redbone and recorded a version of the song, retitled "Chick-A-Boom (Don't Ya Jes' Love It)".
The tune, which was distributed by Sunflower Records, became a top 10 hit in the United States, peaking on the Billboard Pop Singles chart at #9 in 1971[2] and at #3 on Cashbox.
