Heart Of My Heart - Mitch Miller & The Gang

[ChoChang88]

oh my god O:

[trudbol]

Beautiful! I so wish we could have this kind of entertainment nowadays. Pop music is so annoying and is destroying people's ears and sensitivity to what singing is all about.

[misspure001]

OMG that is awesome such great melody.

[flemingtreeexperts]

The song my perents used to sing to me. lol

[etbella3]

I carry your heart. I carry it in my heart. e.e. cummings. No Capitals. Mon Fuhrer!

[never4everuk]

my mum used to sing this for me

[Surfacesofie]

I wish I could find his "Tonite, Tonite put a lite in your window."

[lethe5032]

@Surfacesofie The songs are on Youtube, sung by Mitch Miller and by The Four lads". You tube won't accept its own links. so you will need to do a Google search to get the links and type "Youtube "Tonight, tonight, put a light in your window" Note the correct spelling for "Tonight" and "light"

[Csgarguilo]

Above is an excerpt from Mitch Miller's show where his all male chorus sang, "Heart Of My Heart". Because of Mitch's strict religious orthodox upbringing, he did not allow any women in the group. At the time of this recording, all of the men's wives were preparing for Shabat.

[SpringfieldGuy]

As other utube Sing Along With Mitch recordings show, he later had female singers as well.

[hajune]

RIP Oh great conductor. You r music and style are missed.

[moparmtn]

Thanks for all the memories and wonderful songs you gave us.....

Music is soothing to the soul... R.I.O 08/02/2010

[librarybob1958]

Just heard where Mitch passed on last Saturday, having just turned 99 on July 4. RIP, Mitch. You may not have been the most perspicacious of record company execs (dissing Sinatra, passing on Elvis), but you did foster some solid artists (Bennett, Clooney, Mathis, Laine, Ray, Conniff), and you got even those with Van Gogh's ear for music (like my late father) to sing along with Mitch in droves.

And for that, we all thank you.

[radiodiva777]

RIP Mr. Miller

[hergolan]

Yes, what an era ... what music ... what happiness. Not many songs bring such sheer joy and love to ones soul as when Mitch Miller and Gang sing 'Heart of my Heart'.

[nickownzu3]

lol i had to sing that song

[Wolfzone1]

He's STILL alive! He'll turn 99 on July 4th - this year.

[CanadaPisces]

It is wonderful to hear them sing this old favourite! TY!

[mcfrdmn]

Excellent rendition by Mitch Miller & the Gang

[brunobrandy]

When I was a junior and a member of the choir at Southwest High School in Minneapolis, MN. Mitch came in the spring and directed our choir. It was a real special time. Earlier that year we had put out a record that went national featuring "God's Christmas Tree" and the "Great Somebody." Both songs actually made it to the top 15 on the hit parade. Sid Lipmann had written the music for us. Very special choir and special times.

[CarlDuke]

I loved that show as a very young boy. Mitch was a musical genius and the guiding hand at Columbia Records, where he directed the careers of such as Tony Bennett, Frankie Laine, Teresa Brewer, Rosemary Clooney, Patti Page, Guy Mitchell, the Four Lads and many others.

[BaritoneCan1]

Wonderful! Thanks for posting. Brings fond memories back and a tear to my eye. Agree with steinwaygrande1.

[djonyviiiick]

waw!!! great music, this guy is still alive! 97 years old and a perfect health. thanks for your music Mitch Miller, you are part of history.

[brunobrandy]

djon...He's 98 now.

[djonyviiiick]

yes, you are right! :)

[steinwaygrande1]

Those were the days when music was music - not the garabge we are subjected to today

[EMrono21]

@steinwaygrande1 lucky for me I'm one of the 13 year-olds who hate that "garbage"

[steinwaygrande1]

@EMrono21 Good to know there are some people of your age that appreciate good music whatever your taste in music is. I cant even get my son ( 24) to listen to anything good. He listens to all the garbage and isnow complaining that he cant hear properly . I wonder why !!!!!!!!!!!

[Supergungun]

@steinwaygrande1 But this song is from the 20s....

[steinwaygrande1]

@Supergungun Your point is ?????????

[Supergungun]

@steinwaygrande1 Just wanted to make it clear its from a different era than the TV show.

[bmwsitgez]

Cool!!! Never seen them, but always remember them singing this song!

[garyowen4ever]

nov 63 changed everything,

[ProgMetalLover]

@garyowen4ever

The Beatles changed even more.

[yekyrneh]

Our family always watched both Mitch Miller's show, and Lawrence Welk's show.

Lawrence Welk was pretty good, I guess, but I enjoyed Mitch Miller much more! Mitch and his gang had a really unique and pleasant sound. Thank you for posting this, and bringing back wonderful memories of a simpler and saner time.

[gardnjw]

This is great stuff...apparently, back then you could get on TV if you could sing... looks didn't matter...

[jumpinjax2]

You don't watch much tv today, I would guess :)

Great song.

[bobbymak880]

Great song. AND BTW, Mitch Miller is still alive and kicking it in New York City!

[elderscroll4mii]

Old people, using my Tube???

May be young, but this song is so damn beautiful. Thank you.

[usairpilotfophx]

I met Mitch Briefly in the mid-ninties..We were both dating members of the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra and we would both be waiting at the back stage door for the peformance to let so we could meet our dates..And I was born in 1961!

[Robert11xyz]

Memories!!

45 years ago I dated his daughter. They were a fabulous family from my point of view. He was always gracious. He must be in his 90s now. Thank you YouTube for this super momory!!

[tgifa5]

Thank you!!! You brought back many memories for me. Thank you so much for posting this.

[inkey2]

I hate to sound like an old man....but....the shows and even the commercials were so much more fun back then. Back then I remember 3 channels on TV (3 networks). All 3 seemed to have good shows. I now have about 200 cable channels.....and still only about 3 are worth watching.

[HoboGus]

@inkey2

What? 3 channels! How did you get 3? We only had 2 (2 and 7) !! Like Mark Knopfler sings in the Dire Straits song " 57 channels and nothn' on ( only now its 250 with Dish network and nothn' worth watchn'.

[inkey2]

@HoboGus yeah, in the Boston suburbs back in the 50s early 60s we had 3 channels. Channel 4,5 & 7.....channel 2 was public television and was only on a few hours a day. Late at night I could actually get channel 10 and 12 from out of state but they came in pretty fuzzy and on ocasion came in ok. People that had those huge antennas on their roof did even better.....HEY.....thats something you don't see anymore TV antennas on the roofs of houses

[etbella3]

@HoboGus Remember the rabbit ears. I forgot to remember to forget.

[redfordforpresident]

@inkey2 And Mitch demanded audience participation with that bouncing ball. If you did not sing along, Miss Connie, Romper Room CEO, would not find you the next morning in her Magic Mirror.

[ottokees]

So wonderful, sweet and unforgettable video!!!. Thank you very much!!!!: Cheers!!!, Sergio.

[CarlDuke]

Thanks. I really loved this show as a kid. For those who may not know Mitch was the guiding genius at Columbia Records in the 1950s, directing the success of among others Teresa Brewer, Patti Page, Tony Bennett, Guy Mitchell, Frankie Laine, the Four Lads and Rosemary Clooney.

[inkey2]

oh my...this reminds me of my late father so much. I am 54 years old. When I was young dad and I would sit on the couch and watch Mitch MIller while he sipped his favorite beer and sang or hummed along to all the old songs. This was so long ago it seems like it was another life ago

[rjp58]

I remember that shit-eating grin too. i`m 50 also and remember the bouncing ball? Always liked his Christmas songs. I think mitch is still alive and in his mid-90s now.

[spiderbaby1958]

And there he is, just as I remember him, conducting with a shit-eating grin. I'm fifty years old, and "Sing Along With Mitch" may be one of my earliest memories of TV. I'd love to find a clip of the theme song.

[spiderbaby1958]

I was telling my Son-in-Law about this show, and I thought to myself: Gee, I wonder if I can find a clip on You Tube?

[dickintexas]

Anyone know where I can get DVD's or videotapes of the actual Mitch Miller TV shows?

[MIKEPREAMP]

I agree; "The Yellow Rose of Texas" was the start of a major upswing in his carreer. That was in 1955.

[DonRavings]

People should be commenting on this sort of stuff more. I love the banjo part.
