About Nick Todd

Lived 1935 – 2023 (aged 87). Nick Todd was an American singer.

Cecil Altman Boone (June 1, 1935 – January 20, 2023), known as Nick Todd, was an American pop singer. "Plaything" debuted in October 1957 and "At The Hop" debuted in December 1957, the same month Danny & the Juniors' version reached No. 1 on the chart.

The president of Dot Records, Randy Wood, did not want him using the same last name as his brother, so he made up "Todd", which is basically "Dot" (Records) spelled backwards.

Todd died on January 20, 2023, at the age of 87.
