I remember a little bit more about Red Skelton singing "Ten Pretty Girls" on TV. He sang it as his character Freddie the Freeloader, a tramp. Freddie goes into a record store where they are demonstrating a tape recorder. When the demonstrator goes away, Freddie sings "Ten
Pretty Girls" into the recorder and leaves. Somehow, somebody in the music industry hears it, releases it as a record and it becomes a big hit and there's a big search to find the unknown man who sang the song. I can't recall if they ever find him. I remember thinking at the time, which was when Elvis and other rock pioneers ruled the airwaves, that this quiet little song would never make it on the real Hit Parade.
