There was a Hallmark commercial in the late 1980's, early 1990's that
had the Daddy's little girl song in it. It was a song that I hadn't
heard before. It might have been the song that we have all heard, but
all of the versions I find are not it. The singer wasn't Jimmy
Roselli, Jeff Carson, Kippi Brannon,or Al Martino. Does anyone know
who specifically sang in that commercial? It featured an older man and
his daughter and of course a card. Thanks!

Are you certain it was a Hallmark commercial?

A famous 1989 ad featuring the song "Daddy's Little Girl" showed an
older man at his daughter's wedding, remembering snapshots from her
childhood. The ad was for Eastman Kodak. The ad was named one of the
50 best commercials of the 1980s by "Advertising Age."

Please listen to this audio clip:

If that is the version of the song that you're looking for, I'll be
glad to tell you who sang it in the Kodak commercial.

And do you know where I can get that exact full version?

I am very pleased to have been able to help you find your song. As I
mentioned, the commercial was for Kodak. The singer was Michael
Bolton, who had not yet hit the peak of his fame at the time.

"Eastman Kodak, 'Daddy's Little Girl,' 1989 -- Sentimentality sells,
as this dad and his about-to-marry daughter, prove."

"Kodak film commercial - Sung by Michael Bolton in the 1980s (with the
song 'Daddy's Little Girl')."

Michael Bolton's version of "Daddy's Little Girl" is available on a CD
called "Vintage." It's a beautiful collection that includes many
classic songs:

My Google search strategy was simplified by the fact that I loved that
Kodak commercial, and I thought it was probably what you were
remembering. This was the Google search string that led me to an audio
clip on a Michael Bolton fan site:

I hope this helps! Please request clarification if anything is unclear
or incomplete; I'll be glad to offer further assistance before you
rate my answer.
