Red River Dave said that this was the first song ever sung on TV!..He was performing at the New York Worlds Fair in 1939, and NBC had a booth..(actually a tent) doing a demo of this new invention, TV...and thay needed something to transmit, so they invited Dave to sing some songs...which were sent a short distance to a receiver...and the first song he did was Amelia Earhart. I have a tape of an NPR radio program from about 1976 of him singing and talking...
