Few weeks ago I mentioned Milt Kamen in this post after finding an episode of Playboy After Dark that he was featured in. I promised at the time that I'd try to upload his 1964 LP Here's Milt Kamen! on Capitol Records, and today is the day. Mel Brooks produced this album and it's his voice you'll hear at the very start saying, "And now... Milt... Kamen." Groucho Marx sounded his praises on the back cover liner notes.Herb Sanford, a producer on The Garry Moore Show wrote about Milt Kamen in his late seventies memoir Ladies and Gentlemen The Garry Moore Show:
Milt played in the Philharmonic and in pit orchestras in Broadway shows. As he sat in the pit and listened to the jokes on stage, he began developing some ideas of his own and veered into television.
Milt's comedy bits were far out. One of those he did with us was, one might say, science fiction. It dealt with a giant tomato that attacked an entire town. It ended happily, the victorious tomato "spritzing" a giant Bloody Mary.
I also came across an episode of The Gong Show with Milt on the panel over here. Now, enjoy the LP in its entirety: Here's Milt Kamen!
