William Paul Petersen (born September 23, 1945) is an American actor, singer, novelist, and activist. Petersen first rose to prominence in the 1950s playing Jeff Stone on The Donna Reed Show, and transitioned to a singing career in the 1960s. In the early 1980s, he had a recurring role as a police officer on Matt Houston, and in the late 1990s, he played the author Paul Conway in the film, Mommy's Day. In 1990, Petersen established the organization A Minor Consideration to support child stars and other child laborers through legislation, family education, and personal intervention and counseling for those in crisis. With the fame he achieved on The Donna Reed Show, Petersen received recording offers and had hit record singles with the songs "She Can't Find Her Keys" (also introduced on The Donna Reed Show), "Amy," and "Lollipops and Roses." In 1962, the sentimental teen pop song, "My Dad", was performed on The Donna Reed Show with Petersen singing the tune to his on-screen father, actor Carl Betz. Released as a single in the same year, it reached No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. He also recorded for Motown/Tamla throughout the 1960s releasing such singles as "Chained" and "A Little Bit For Sandy" Singles: 1962: "She Can't Find Her Keys/Very Unlikely" (w/Shelley Fabares) — Colpix 620 -- No. 19, March 1962 1962: "What Did They Do Before Rock and Roll/Very Unlikely" (both tracks w/Shelley Fabares) — Colpix 631 1962: "Keep Your Love Locked (Deep In Your Heart)/Be Everything To Anyone You Love" — Colpic 632 -- No. 58, April 1962 1962: "Lollipops and Roses/Please Mr. Sun" — Colpix 649 -- No. 54, August 1962 1962: "My Dad/Little Boy Sad" — Colpix 663 -- No. 6, November 1962 1963: "Amy/Goody Goody" — Colpix 676 -- No. 65, March 1963 1963: "Girls In The Summertime/Mama, Your Little Boy Fell" — Colpix 697 1963: "The Cheer Leader/Polka Dots and Moonbeams" — Colpix 707 -- No. 78, November 1963 1964: "She Rides With Me/Poorest Boy In Town" — Colpix 720 1964: "Hey There Beautiful/Where Is She" — Colpix 730 1965: "Little Dreamer/Happy" — Colpix 763 1967: "Chained/Don't Let It Happen To Us" — Motown 1108 1968: "A Little Bit For Sandy/Your Love's Got Me Burning Alive" — Motown 1129 Enjoy Other Channel I'm Supporting Doris Jubas https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCa-kgyxH8BKp2RWKLxemeXg and Doris A Jubas https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMfABd9PWYDgYBpGH--ilLA?view_as=subscriber LostJukeboxVolume https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5D_R94JJWIIV9E7gmOcFTA uraass2utube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIpdvidQfxm2QntUtbQnUJw Doris Jubas: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCa-kgyxH8BKp2RWKLxemeXg LostJukeboxVolumes 3: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_8ayLGzseu5Fh-YXF2dCvQ Heather Wood: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCN7UHcs7VPbHcH3HNXVonuA/playlists #uraass2utube #LostJukeboxVolume #Heather_Wood3446 #LostJukeboxVolumes3 #Doris_Jubas #Doris_A_Jubas #LostjukeboxVolume2 #the3cs #the3cs_II
