Miller Music Publishing Co.

Miller Music Publishing Co. was a Chicago-based music publishing company founded in 1906 by Webb Rockefeller Miller.[1] In 1934, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer acquired a controlling interest in its capital stock of Miller Music, Leo Feist, Inc., and Robbins Music Corporation, and subsequently merged the three. In 1935, the new company was named Robbins, Feist, Miller Music Publishing Companies, but was widely known as The Big Three.[2]

In 1973, MGM sold Robbins, Feist, and Miller to United Artist.[3]
