Biography

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mitchell William Miller (July 4, 1911 – July 31, 2010) was an American oboist, conductor, record producer and record industry executive. He was involved in almost all aspects of the industry, particularly as a conductor, and artist and repertoire (A&R) man. Miller was one of the most influential people in American popular music during the 1950s and early 1960s, both as the head of A&R at Columbia Records and as a best-selling recording artist with an NBC television series, Sing Along with Mitch.

Initially airing as a one-shot episode of the NBC television show Startime (season 1, episode 32) on 24 May 1960, Sing Along with Mitch went on to become a weekly series in 1961 as a community sing-along program hosted by Miller and featuring a male chorus. As the popularity of the TV show rose, Miller produced and recorded several "Sing Along with Mitch" record albums.

Sing Along with Mitch ran on television from 1961 until the network canceled it in 1964.
