These sources said an earlier singing telegram was delievered on February 10, 1933 by New York City's Postal Telegraph Company (which later merged with Western Union).
However, all these Websites do NOT offer much further details:

There are many orphaned stubs, such as the kissogram, that could be merged here and make this into one article. I started this, there may be more out there. --

The article
Singing Valentines has also been recommended for merging with this article. However, in the Singing Valentine Wikipedia article, there is a section that explicitly states the difference between singing telegrams and singing valentines. Does anyone believe that sentence is coming from a non-neutral point of view? Additionally, the Singing Valentine article seems to be a big enough article where it could stand on its own, but if anyone has more knowledge on the similarities between the two, care to share? Thanks!

Singing telegram →
Novelty telegram – Now that
Kissogram and
Stripogram have been merged into this article, the title has become slightly inaccurate. Some of these novelty telegram services do not necessarily involve singing. Novelty telegram seems to be the generic term (Google Books has 20,000 results for it).

DC COMICS INC., Plaintiff, v. UNLIMITED MONKEY BUSINESS, INC., et al., Defendants 598 F. Supp. 110 Civ. A. No. C82-2264A Oct. 11, 1984
United States District Court, N.D. Georgia, Atlanta Division.
Miles Alexander, Joseph Beck, Jerre B. Swann, Gail Tusan Joyner, Atlanta, Ga., for plaintiff.
Francis M. Pinckney, Charlotte, N.C., John Pennington, Atlanta, Ga., for defendants.
ORDER
SHOOB, District Judge.
This action arises under federal trademark and copyright statutes and under state law. Plaintiff holds copyrights and trademarks pertaining to the fictional characters SUPERMAN and WONDER WOMAN, their names and attributes, and has exploited those properties in the distribution of comic books, films, and merchandise. Defendants are a corporation and its owners that engage in the franchising of “singing telegram” companies, and a partnership that operates one of the franchises. Among the skits performed by defendants and their licensees are two that feature characters named “Super Stud” and “Wonder Wench”. Plaintiff alleges that the use of those characters infringes upon its property rights, and seeks a permanent injunction barring the use of those characters.
Curious implications. Nemo 19:53, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
