Single, "Tall Paul" by Annette and the Afterbeats

Description

Box 4 Folder 21: "Here we have the 1959 pop hit, "Tall Paul" by Annette (Funicello), one of the original Mouseketeers on mid 1950's TV. The song became the iconic theme song of Paul "Tall Paul" White, the extraordinary morning announcer on WENN radio. Initially doing news and sports on Shelley Stewart's morning drive show, Paul eventually took over the show and utilized both his new moniker and this song as his theme."
