Sing Along with Mitch is a show I distinctly remember seeing as a child, but the date of its run (1961-1966 on NBC) makes it likely that I am remembering a repeat (I was born in '65, but
anything's possible).
Lots to see in
today's clip. There's the always insincere and belligerent Milton Berle.
Car 54's Joe E. Ross (dressed as a policeman?) and, of course, Mitch himself. Also, among the background singers is Bob McGrath - aka "Bob" from
Sesame Street, and Leslie Uggams.
Mitch, who as a big-shot at Columbia Records passed on Elvis Presley and Buddy Holly (He disliked rock 'n roll) is still alive at age 98.
Update: Due to overwhelming demand, here's the
(brief) Joe E. Ross cameo.
