A Publisher's Avocation: 'Oldest Pop Singer in America'

Shelf Awareness

"My father, the oldest pop singer in America (89, beats Tony Bennett by six months), performing on May 23 in Chicago," Bruce Miller of Miller Trade Book Marketing posted on Facebook last week to accompany a video of his dad, Jordan, singing at Davenport's Piano Bar in the Windy City.

Jordan and his wife, Anita, founded Academy Chicago Publishers in 1975. Although the company was acquired by Chicago Review Press last year, they continue to work as "editors-at-large" for CRP.

Bruce Miller noted that his father said "publishers do have rhythm," and that he wanted "to strike a note for old people like me."
