This infamous personality was born Elva Miller. You might remember Mrs. Miller, the one hit wonder. She was born tone deaf. She had two records on the Billboard charts, “A Lovers Concerto” and  “Downtown.” As a joke, Capitol Records released her first album as “Mrs. Miller’s Greatest Hits.” She was not happy with the way she was treated, as you will hear in this podcast. Her voice was compared to the sound of “roaches scurrying across a trash can lid.” If you didn’t like her, you can place blame on disc jockey Gary Owens, from “Laugh-In” for discovering her.
