		Miller was one of the first to take advantage of tape recording to make vocalists sing along with previously recorded backing, which a good singer hated to do; on one such occasion he came down from the booth to dance around in front of Jo Stafford to get her in the mood.
		In fact Miller made a speech at a disc jockey convention '58 accusing them of abandoning their programming to children; they gave him a standing ovation, but the Storz broadcasting chain, sponsoring the convention, then banned Columbia records just as payola was becoming big business.
		It was in Miller's time that albums began to be made for grownups and the singles market was abandoned to children; even the recording sessions were different, and disc jockeys rarely played album tracks.

	Encyclopedia: Mitch Miller
		Bob McGrath was a singer who worked with Mitch Miller then went on to play the human character Bob on Sesame Street.
		Sinatra blamed Miller unfairly for the slump in his career during those years, but a great many musicians blamed Miller for degrading popular music with his whooping French horns (on Guy Mitchell's pseudo-folksongs) and cheapening Clooney's records with an amplified harpsichord, and mainly for his choice of material.
		He and his choir were famed for their "Sing Along With Mitch" television show of the 1960s, where the choir sang a popular or well-known tune while the lyrics scrolled across the television screen, the current position of the choir's singing marked by an animated ball that bounced from word to word.

	MUSICMATCH Guide: Mitch Miller
		Doris Day was already on Columbia when Miller arrived as head of A&R, but it was during the era in which he ran the label that she had her biggest pop hits.
		Miller also played an important role in fostering the middle/late-1950's folk revival when he put the Easy Rider trio under contract--they only generated one major hit, "Marianne," in 1957, but they wrote and recorded many songs that became part of the repertories of the Kingston Trio and the New Christy Minstrels.
		It was in 1950 that Miller's own recording career as a pop artist and conductor began, big-scale choral recordings credited to "Mitch Miller and His Gang." Their first hit was a bold rendition of the Israeli folk-song "Tzena, Tzena, Tzena," which had also been recorded by the folk group the Weavers around this time.

	TV ACRES: Television Bandleaders - Mitch Miller
		- During the 1950s record producer Mitch Miller, choosing not to go along with the popular rock and roll movement of the times, introduced a series of "Sing Along" recordings of old standard favorites and printed their lyrics on the album jackets so that the listener could read and sing along with the music.
		Mitch's success led him to television, first on a FORD STARTIME special in May 1960 and followed by the musical variety program SING ALONG WITH MITCH/NBC/1961-64.
		Throughout the program, the goateed Mitch Miller waved his musical baton and encouraged the viewers at home to "follow the bouncing ball" that jumped over the words of the songs superimposed on the bottom of the TV screens at home.

	Review Mitch Miller - Computer Toaster (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		I've never cared for Mitch Miller's sing-along albums because the high cheese content makes them practically unlistenable for me. However, I much prefer older Christmas albums to more recent efforts, so I listened to the song samples here.
		To my knowledge this was never one of the old Mitch Miller albums on vinyl, but instead is a recent collection taken from his various earlier albums.
		the music of Mitch Miller reminds me of the time that I was a little boy in the early fifties.

		At the peak of his power, in the mid-1950s, when Mitch Miller decided what popular music would be recorded for Columbia Records, he often plucked gems from the country or rhythm and blues charts, where other labels didn't look.
		Miller declined to join the calls for censorship, instead imploring disc jockeys to stay the course with good music.
		And so Mitch Miller smiled, gave his baton a farewell wave and settled into a long, comfortable, leisurely retirement.

		Miller had a gift for choosing pop novelties that stuck to the brain like chewing gum to the soles of your shoes.
		In 1955, Miller's martial version of "The Yellow Rose of Texas," a revision of a tune dating back to the mid-19th Century, paved the way for the phenomenally successful series of Sing Along With Mitch albums.

	EASTMAN SCHOOL TO HONOR ROCHESTER NATIVE AND ALUMNUS MITCH MILLER
		“Mitch Miller is one of music’s most enduring figures, one of Eastman’s most treasured alumni, and one of Rochester’s most notable sons,” said Undercofler, whose idea it was to honor the music icon in this manner.
		His father, Abram, was a wrought iron worker whose labor is reflected in street signs around the city, notably in the Browncroft neighborhood, and in the fence at Mt. Hope Cemetery; his mother, Hinda, was a seamstress.
		Mitch, a self-proclaimed “product of the Rochester public school music system,” began playing the oboe at age 12, ultimately earning his bachelor’s degree with distinction from the Eastman School in 1932.

		Mitch liked Guy's singing but thought that Al Cernick wasn't a suitable name for a potential hit recording artist.
		Mitch Miller had secured two songs for Frank Sinatra to record but, with studio and orchestra ready, Frank decided that the songs were not for him.
		At the end of Guy's 15 minute spot the audience made it clear that he was far from being a forgotten man. As a result Guy was tempted back into the recording studios and, in 1982, an album of many of Guy's hits, newly recorded in stereo, reached No. 2 in the Dutch hit parade.

		The second album collected here, 1956's European Holiday, is of more interest as it features vocals, less treacly arrangements, and a fun theme: a European holiday, believe it or not.
		The rest of the disc is comprised of three Mitch Miller Orchestra tracks with a French flair and some wonderfully cheesy vocal choruses.
		Fans of easy listening weirdness will dig the European Holiday portion of the set; too bad it had to be paired with an album of no interest at all.

		The man who shaped the pop philosophy behind the scenes of Columbia Records in the '50s also developed a distinctive, goateed profile as a recording artist in his own right.
		His greatest fame would come by encouraging ordinary civilians sitting by their hi-fi's (and, ultimately, around their television sets) to Sing Along With Mitch, although Miller himself did no singing.
		It is worth noting that, despite the "hup-2-3-4" cadence of "The Yellow Rose Of Texas," his lowest-charting album of the period was March Along With Mitch.
