From what I hear from musicians, Mitch Miller was a good businessman but never a maker of good music. Most of his hits were hokey jingles and joke songs popular in the fifties. He drove people like Sinatra away from Columbia Records and had Rosemary Clooney singing junk like “Mambo Italiano” and “Come ona My House”.

The best that can be said was that her learned well H.L. Menken’s cynical advice, “Never underestimate the taste of the American public.”

But his show was very watchable and featured one of the first black singers, Leslie Uggams, to achieve mass tv popularity. Leslie was a very attractive woman and a real good singer.

"Let me hear a melody, I love to sing along."
