A graduate of the Eastman School of Music and a classically trained
oboist, Mitch Miller first entered the pop music scene in 1948 at
Mercury Records, where he guided such acts as
Vic Damone,
Frankie Laine and
Patti Page to success. In 1950 he was lured by
Goddard Lieberson to Columbia Records
as that label's A&R director, where he made stars out of
Tony Bennett,
Johnnie Ray,
Guy Mitchell and many others. Miller himself first shot to
prominence in the late 1950s with his "Sing Along" series of albums,
which ultimately led to his own series,
Sing Along with Mitch (1961). His opposition to rock
and roll, however, undercut Columbia's market position for several
years until after he left the label in 1965. In recent years he has
occasionally served as a guest conductor for symphony orchestras across
the country.
