The Bobby Troup trio & Virgina Maxey (all excellent musicians) do a light and breezy rendition of the song, "Daddy," which Mr. Troup composed. (Musical trios were especially popular in the early 1950's.) I found this presentation simple and entertaining.

Of course! Every gal in the 50's had a singing jazz trio tucked away in the corner of her apartment. Bobby Troup (piano) was a gifted jazz composer, arranger and musician for many years, and wrote this hit song, which was performed by many big bands during the 30's-50's. Later generations will remember him as Dr. Joe Early of Rampart General Hospital on the 70's show "Emergency!"
