There are a number of "wonder boy preachers" so I have to be careful to get the right one here. This wonder boy preacher was known as "A Billy Graham in Miniature" according to the sleeve of this Long Player. Wait a minute I believe here he is! It appears THIS wonder boy Reverend Thomas Masters is an elected official, and other than passing a likely unconstitutional referendum outlawing saggy pants in his city, he seems to be a good enough guy! He went from "mystery child" to Mayor! I'll give him a pass. Seriously. I found a video of him using the phrase "here is the deal" and I admire straight talkers.
As a child, he made an appearance on Art Linkletter's House Party.
