Kiddio
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
"Kiddio" is a 1960 R&B/pop song written by Brook Benton & Clyde Otis[1] and released as a single by Brook Benton. The single was the fourth time in a year that Brook Benton had topped the R&B charts. However, two of those times, he'd hit number one with duet partner, Dinah Washington. "Kiddio" also continued Brook Benton's popularity on the pop charts by making it his fifth top-ten pop single.[2] This should not be confused with the Charlie Musselwhite's "Kiddeo", a song from his 1990 album, "Ace of Harps".
