Andy and Virginia Mansfield had been around radio for most of their lives. Virginia got her start as a dancer and wound up singing with acts like Paul Whiteman and Eddie Albert. She landed a job as a staff singer at WWW, Cincinatti, and eventually moved to Los Angeles to work on KHJ, KFI and KMPC. She worked in vaudeville with her husband Andy, and they were one of the first couples to perform together on television, appearing on the Mutual Don Lee Network in 1937. The couple is best remembered for NBC's Andy and Virginia and Turn Back the Clock over the Armed Forces Radio and Television Service. Turn Back the Clock is thought to be one of the earliest programs to combine recorded music with spoken commentary. The program featured records, supposedly from the Mansfield's personal collection.
