Bobby Troup (October 18, 1918 - February 7, 1999, born Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, USA) was an American actor, jazz pianist and songwriter. He is best known for writing the popular standard "(Get your kicks on) Route 66", and for his role as Dr. Joe Early in the 1970's US TV series "Emergency!".
Troup's light and humourous musical style was similar to that of the Nat King Cole Trio. Cole had a hit with Route 66 in the 1940's, it was also one of the first songs recorded by the Rolling Stones. He graduated from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. Troup's earliest songwriting success came with the song "Daddy" in 1941. He served as a Captain in the US Marines during World War II. His first marriage was to Cynthia Troup. He produced torch singer Julie London's million selling hit record "Cry Me A River" in 1955 and they married in 1960. His own recordings in the 1950's and 60's were not commercially successful and he relied on songwriting as his income. He worked as an actor, playing Tommy Dorsey in "The Gene Krupa Story" in 1959. Later he appeared with his second wife, Julie in the 1970's TV series "Emergency".
He also wrote the title song sung by Little Richard for the first-run rock and roll movie "The Girl Can't Help It". His song "The Meaning of the Blues" appeared on the Miles Davis album, Miles Ahead. His 'hip' song version of the "The Three Bears" is often erroneously credited to "anonymous", and was first recorded by the Page Cavanaugh Trio.
