Now, here's a record no John Denver fan--or any lover of great vocal work, really--should go without this Christmas season.
The legendary Milt Okun has worked with Plácido Domingo, conducted for Harry Belafonte and, most apropos, was the man who brought John Denver to stardom--having produced his best hits. (Okun is also known for transforming three unknown singers, who had never before worked together, into one of the most successful musical acts of their generation: Peter, Paul and Mary.)
Readers of a certain vintage will also remember Okun's founding of Cherry Lane Music, the publishing arm of Elvis Presley, DreamWorks and several other household names.
