"Daddy Cool" is a song by US doo-wop group The Rays and was released on Cameo Records as the B-side of their 1957 single "Silhouettes".
[2] Fellow 1950s doo-wop band The Diamonds, from Canada, covered both sides of The Rays' single "Silhouettes"/"Daddy Cool" in the same year (1957) and saw their version reach No.
[2] UK artists Darts' first ever studio recording was a medley of "Daddy Cool" and "The Girl Can't Help It", which they released as a single in 1977.
[7][8] This, in turn, was covered by another Australian band, Drummond,[7] which recorded the song in a Chipmunks style and released it as a novelty single in 1971.
They moved to Melbourne and subsequently recorded their own material as Mississippi and then, with the addition of Beeb Birtles, evolved into Little River Band.
