Muzzy Marcellino

Maurice "Muzzy" Marcellino[1] (November 27, 1912 – June 11, 1997) was an American singer and musician, known primarily for his clear, melodious style of whistling.

Marcellino's whistling was featured in many TV and movie soundtracks, such as The Mickey Mouse Club and Lassie. His contributions can also be heard on the soundtrack to the 1954 film The High and the Mighty and on Hugo Montenegro's 1968 hit version of the main theme to the film The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.[2]

He was also the musical director of the CBS daytime show, Art Linkletter's House Party.
