Sing Along with Mitch is an album by Mitch Miller & The Gang. It was released in 1958 on the Columbia label (catalog no. CL-1160, Stereo Fidelity CS-8004).[1][2]

The album debuted on Billboard magazine's popular albums chart on July 14, 1958, held the No. 1 spot for eight weeks, and remained on that chart for 128 weeks. It was certified as a gold record by the RIAA.[3][4]

AllMusic later gave the album a rating of three-and-a-half stars. Reviewer Bruce Eder wrote that "while it is easy to scoff at this kind of music 50 years on, one should also remember that Sing Along with Mitch was one of the bigger selling albums in the Columbia Records library, staying in print for decades."[2]
