> I just listened to a new song for me called "My Old Daddy" on Youtube sung by the wonderful singer Catherine Russell.
Good morning Barb,
And a fine rendition it is.
> Would anyone have a leadsheet for this in B flat?
I will leave that to the experts.
It is not in 'Anderson' that I could find.
> Would appreciate very much any background information on this tune.
The correct title is "My Old Daddy's Got A Brand Ne Way To Love".
Alberta Hunter recorded it for Victor on 26 February 1927 accompanied by its composer Mike Jackson on piano.
Here is the original.
