I have made some fun of Mitch and the boys but deep down, he and the gang were a part of my life. From Wiki. And he was a 4th of July baby. Go figure.
"Mitchell William "Mitch" Miller (July 4, 1911 – July 31, 2010)[1][2] was an American musician, singer, conductor, record producer, A&R man and record company executive. Miller was one of the most influential figures in American popular music during the 1950s and early 1960s, both as the head of Artists and Repertoire at Columbia Records and as a best-selling recording artist with an NBC television series, Sing Along with Mitch. A graduate of the Eastman School of Music of the University of Rochester in the early 1930s, Miller began his musical career as an accomplished player of the oboe and English horn, and recorded several highly regarded classical albums featuring his instrumental work, but he is best remembered as a conductor, choral director, television performer and recording executive."

I had no idea he passed away this past July. I thought he left us back in the 70's or 80's. Thanks for the memories Mitch and Merry Christmas to you.
Here's a trib to Mitch.
