Conductor Mitch Miller Dies At 99

• Mitch Miller, the goateed orchestra leader who asked Americans to “sing along with Mitch” on television and records, has died in New York City after a short illness. He was 99. Miller was a key record executive at Columbia Records in the pre-rock ’n’ roll era, making hits with singers Rosemary Clooney, Patti Page, Johnny Mathis and Tony Bennett. Sing Along With Mitch started as a series of records, then became a popular NBC show starting in early 1961.

I remember "Sing Along With Mitch" being on TV. Though sadly, I thought he died years ago (I hate when that happens!). May he be resting peacefully. rose
