He created arrangements or produced for many popular groups and artists such as The Chad Mitchell Trio, Peter, Paul and Mary, The Brothers Four, John Denver, and Miriam Makeba. In 1968 he interviewed many American folksingers and published the songs they chose in ''Something to Sing About!''
Critic Richard Sparks wrote that at the height of Okun's career "Of all producers, Milton Okun's range is the widest, from Plácido Domingo to the Muppets." During a hiatus in his work as conductor for Harry Belafonte, Okun took on the Chad Mitchell Trio as his first folk trio, later signing Tom Paxton as a client for his new Cherry Lane Music publishing company when Paxton auditioned (unsuccessfully) for an opening in the trio. Okun began his long association with John Denver after Denver replaced Chad Mitchell in the renamed "Mitchell Trio"; as well as bringing Denver to stardom and producing his most loved hits, Okun was arranger and producer for Peter, Paul and Mary. Cherry Lane Music became the music publishing company for Elvis and DreamWorks among other household names.
Okun died on November 15, 2016, at the age of 92. Provided by Wikipedia
