The Year of Tony Bennett would like to recognize the anniversary of the birth of Mitch Miller on July 4, 1911.
I uncovered this video of Tony, Mitch with his oboe, and Hugh Hefner at the Playboy Mansion from 1969. I kid you not. I will state that I don’t think Tony was cut out to smoke a pipe or, as in this video, use it as a prop.
Do you think Tony Bennett ever sang with Glenn Miller’s orchestra?
Hi Dick,
No, he never did. Tony was a bit late for the big band boy singers. By the way … my name is Suzanne Chiles and I too graduated from Shades Valley High School in 1968 and I remember you. If you landed here by accident, what a great accident it was!
