Roy Landman (March 27, 1914 – July 2, 1990),[1] better known as Snooky Lanson, was an American singer known for co-starring on the NBC TV show, Your Hit Parade.
Floor manager (and future children's television host) Fred Rogers said that Lanson often played craps behind the set with the stagehands until it was his turn to perform.
In January 1960, Crossroads TV Productions videotaped a pilot in Springfield, Missouri for a proposed pop music-variety series called Snooky Lanson Time.
[7] From 1967 on he lived in Nashville, where he sang at tea dances and similar functions, had a syndicated radio show that played big-band music, and sold cars and outdoor advertising.
[8] He later reunited with several of his Your Hit Parade co-stars on Family Feud, as part of a 1983 celebrity week saluting "TV's All-Time Favorites".
