A special on PBS alludes to Okun as one of the most influential music producers in history. His career lasted over 50 years, from the folk revival to the twenty-first century. He created arrangements or produced for a large number of popular groups and artists such as Peter, Paul and Mary,[1] The Chad Mitchell Trio, The Brothers Four, John Denver, and Miriam Makeba.[2] In 1968 he interviewed many American folksingers and published the songs they chose in Something to Sing About![3] 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.
