Ivory Joe Hunter made his network television debut on You Asked for It in April, 1951.
Ivory Joe Hunter (born October 10, 1914 in Kirbyville, Texas – died November 8, 1974 in Memphis, Tennessee) was an African American R&B singer, songwriter and pianist, best known for his hit recording, “Since I Met You, Baby” (1956). Billed as “The Baron of the Boogie,” he was also known as “The “Happiest Man Alive.” He is sometimes confused with Motown producer-songwriter Ivy Joe Hunter.
In Kirbyville, Texas, he was christened Ivory Joe as an infant. Developing an early interest in music from his father, Dave Hunter, who played guitar, and his gospel singing mother, he was a talented pianist by the age of 13. As a teenager, Hunter made his first recording in Texas for Alan Lomax and the Library of Congress in 1933. [1]
