The Definitive Collection (2-CD Set)

The Definitive Collection (2-CD Set)

There was never anybody like Mitch Miller in the music business. And there never will be again. Head of A&R for Columbia for over 15 years, star of his own television show on NBC, accomplished oboist and English Horn player, Miller was enormously influential on pop music during the â€˜50s and early â€˜60s, producing and nurturing the careers of such popular artists as Doris Day, Frankie Laine, Jo Stafford, Johnny Mathis, Guy Mitchell and many others, while famously passing on more rock and roll-oriented acts like Elvis, The Beatles, and Buddy Holly. But Millerâ€™s contribution didnâ€™t stop thereâ€”he was also a successful recording artist in his own right, recording13 Top Ten albums and a series of bestselling singles with an orchestra and chorus, often credited to Mitch Miller and the Gang. Spanning the years 1950 to 1962, The Definitive Collection covers virtually his entire recording career at Columbia, and includes such chart-topping highlights as â€œThe Yellow Rose of Texas,â€ â€œTzena, Tzena, Tzena,â€ â€œMeet Mister Callaghan,â€ the famous â€œThe River Kwai Marchâ€/â€Colonel Bogey Marchâ€ medley, â€œSong for a Summer Night,â€ and more, plus the movie themes â€œThe Guns of Navaroneâ€ and â€œThe Longest Day.â€ Gene Sculattiâ€™s notes (festooned with photos from the Columbia vault) trace a career arc like no other in the annals of the music industry. 38 freshly remastered tracks (by Maria Triana at Battery Studios) for you to sing along with Mitch!
