More on Vic Mizzy
Description from Wikipedia:
Victor Mizzy (born January 9, 1916 (or 1922) in Brooklyn, New York), is an American composer for television and movies whose best known works are the themes to the 1960s television shows Green Acres and The Addams Family.
He also wrote the scores for two very popular Don Knotts films in the later half of the 1960s, The Ghost And Mr. Chicken and The Reluctant Astronaut. Both scores possessed a sound which became billed as "The Don Knotts Sound". Mizzy has released these scores on CD, complementing the DVD releases of the films.
Mizzy had two children from his first wife Mary Small, a singer who first earned the moniker "The Little Girl With The Big Voice" and was popular in the '30s (as a child) '40s and '50s. One of her daughters, Patty Keeler, a songwriter, often worked with Doc Pomus (1992 inductee to the Songwriters Hall Of Fame). Patty was also a gifted singer.
