History
Guy Mitchell, born Albert George Cernik in Detroit in 1927 to Croatian immigrant parents, was an American singer and actor who became one of the defining pop voices of the 1950s. After Navy service in World War II and stints singing with Carmen Cavallaro's big band, he was discovered in 1950 by Columbia Records producer Mitch Miller, who gave him his stage name and originally intended the ballad "My Heart Cries for You" for Frank Sinatra before Mitchell recorded it instead, reaching No. 2 on the US charts. His biggest hit, "Singing the Blues" (1956), spent ten weeks at No. 1 in the US and became one of only a handful of singles ever to reach No. 1 on the UK chart three separate times. Other hits included "Heartaches by the Number" and "My Truly, Truly Fair." He sold an estimated 44 million records worldwide, hosted his own ABC variety show in 1957, and appeared in films such as "Red Garters." Mitchell's smooth, cheerful pop-country sound faded from the charts after the 1950s, though he continued performing and recording for decades. He died in Las Vegas in 1999.
