The daughter of a streetcar conductor, Daley started to perform at nightclubs and on the radio as a band vocalist in the 1940s. She endeared movie audiences during this period as well as the 1950s, most notably in Crazy Horse in 1943. She later retired and made occasional appearances in the 1970s. She died in a freak accident when she fell over on a glass table that slashed her neck and she bled to death.

For her work on radio, she received a "Star" on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
