Milt Okun
Milton T. "Milt" Okun (born December 23, 1923 in Brooklyn, New York) is an American arranger, record producer, singer and founder of Cherry Lane Music Publishing Company, Inc. Okun transformed the careers of a dozen or more major U.S. artists who under Okun's tutelage became some of the most successful musical acts of the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. A special on PBS alludes to Okun as one of the most influential music producers in history. His career has lasted over 50 years, from the folk revival to the twenty-first century.
He has created arrangements or produced for a large number of popular groups and artists such as Peter Paul and Mary,〔Ramone, Phil; Granata, Charles L. (2007). ''Making records: the scenes behind the music.'' Hyperion, ISBN 978-0-7868-6859-9〕 The Chad Mitchell Trio, The Brothers Four, John Denver, and Miriam Makeba.〔Bronson, Fred (2003). ''The Billboard book of number 1 hits,'' Billboard Books, ISBN 978-0-8230-7677-2〕 In 1968 he interviewed many American folksingers and published the songs they chose in ''Something to Sing About!''〔Okun, Milt (1968). ''Something to sing about: the personal choices of America's folk singers.'' Macmillan Company, ISBN 978-0-02-592820-6〕
At the height of Okun's career, a critic wrote, "Of all producers, Milton Okun's range is the widest, from Plácido Domingo to the Muppets." Conductor for Harry Belafonte, arranger and producer of Peter, Paul and Mary, the man who brought John Denver to stardom and produced his most loved hits, Okun also founded Cherry Lane Music, the music publishing company for Elvis and DreamWorks among many other household names.
