Joseph J. Leahy (July 25, 1916 - September 12, 1974) was an American bandleader, arranger, conductor, record producer and trumpeter.
Other radio and television shows for which he did uncredited background music included those for Orson Welles, Rita Hayworth Eddie Cantor, Tony Martin, Ethel Waters, Constance Bennett and many others.
Leahy followed up with "Unsuspecting Heart", sung by Terri Stevens; "Green Fire", the song from Desiree, and then he introduced "How Important Can It Be?"
Among these performances are "Moonlight Bay" (Music Vendor Pop #53, 1958) and "Life" (Billboard Easy Listening #33, 1965).
A 1959 review in The Louisville Defender highlighted multiple tracks featuring the Joe Leahy Orchestra, including "Somebody Loves You" with Kathy Linden and his own "20th of May" and "Dixie Roll".
