In 1951, a critic in Down Beat magazine wrote that Sue Bennett was "one of the coming female singers in the country." Bennett was a featured singer on several network shows during TV's early years, including Kay Kyser's College of Musical Knowledge, and Your Hit Parade (also known as the Lucky Strike Hit Parade). She also appeared regularly on such programs as The Freddy Martin Show, and John Conte's Little Show. Decades later, Andrew Fielding began exploring the period of live television, via the shows on which his mother sang. His resulting portrait of the era--which includes conversations with such early television luminaries as Dorothy Collins, Snooky Lanson, Eileen Wilson, Raymond Scott, Merv Griffin, Morey Amsterdam, Milton DeLugg, Arthur Penn, and Kay Kyser--is enlightening, and captivating.
