Kurz-Bio:
Der Orchesterleiter, Sänger, Musiker (Klarinette, Saxophon), Songwriter und Komiker Mickey Katz wurde am 15. Juni 1909 in Cleveland, Ohio, als Meyer Myron Katz geboren und verstarb am 30. April 1985, erst 75-jährig, in Los Angeles, Kalifornien, an Nierenversagen. Während seiner Schulzeit erlernte er das Klarinetten- und Saxophonspiel und danach spielte er bei diversen Bands (Schülerbands etc.). 1929 ging er nach New York City, um dort sein Glück zu versuchen. Als er von einem Bekannten erfuhr, dass in der Band von Maurice Spitalny in Cleveland ein Platz für Klarinette und Saxophon frei wurde, ging er zurück nach Cleveland und heuerte dort an. 1942 wurde er Bandleader bei einer Militärband und etwas später ging es über Spike Jones zu RCA und 1950 landete er bei CAPITOL. Er ist übrigens der Vater des Schauspielers, Tänzers und Sängers
