Time For A Tune, Daddy!

Here's a 1951 Snader Telescription of a perfomance of "Daddy" by the Bobby Troup Trio with Virginia Maxey.  Bobby composed this song, which a decade earlier, was a hit for Sammy Kaye and his Swing and Sway Orchestra.  Unlike the 1940s Soundies, which were originally filmed to be shown on coin-operated "video" jukeboxes called Panorams, Snader Telescriptions were filmed for airing on television stations in the early 1950s, when they needed programming to fill air time.
