Roger Miller

ROGER MILLER was born in Texas and grew up in Oklahoma. He made his first significant mark on the entertainment world as a songwriter of such hits as "Invitation To The Blues," "Billy Bayou," "In The Summertime (You Don't Want My Love)," "When Two Worlds Collide," "Home, Half A Mind" and "That's The Way I Feel." Repeated appearances on The Tonight Show, The Jimmy Dean Show, The Steve Allen Show and a stint as a regular on The Merv Griffin Show established Miller in the collective American mind as a spontaneous and consistently original wit, as exemplified in songs such as "Dang Me," "Chug-A-Lug" and "King Of The Road."
