Michael “Mike” Stewart (April 19, 1945 – November 13, 2002) was the guitarist for We Five. He was also the brother of John Stewart (1939-2008), a one-time member of The Kingston Trio and later a very successful singer/songwriter, and the father of Jamie Stewart, frontman of popular avant-garde group Xiu Xiu. Stewart eventually became a successful record producer, with one of his biggest successes being Billy Joel’s Piano Man.
He left the music industry in the early 1990s and became a computer programmer. He later played bass in his son’s band The Indestructible Beat of Palo Alto (IBOPA).
Stewart died on November 13, 2002 as a result of “a long illness.” An unsubstantiated internet blog rumor suggests that Stewart in fact committed suicide.
The track “Mike” from Xiu Xiu’s album Fabulous Muscles concerns Jamie’s reaction to his father’s death.
Mitchell William “Mitch” Miller (July 4, 1911 – July 31, 2010) was an American musician, singer, conductor, record producer, A&R man and record company executive. Miller was one of the most influential figures in American popular music during the 1950s and early 1960s, both as the head of Artists and Repertoire at Columbia Records and as a best-selling recording artist with an NBC television series, Sing Along with Mitch. A graduate of the Eastman School of Music of the University of Rochester in the early 1930s, Miller began his musical career as an accomplished player of the oboe and English horn, and recorded several highly regarded classical albums featuring his instrumental work, but he is best remembered as a conductor, choral director, television performer and recording executive.
