About Mike Pingitore
- Mike Pingitore (or Pingatore) (1888–1952) was a member of Paul Whiteman's Orchestra.
- Whiteman discovered him playing tenor banjo and he became part of the rhythm section for his newly-formed band for the Alexandria Hotel in Los Angeles (later known as the original Whiteman band), playing there for its entire existence (1919–1948), except for a brief period in 1923 due to illness.
- Pingitore played banjo on Art Mooney's "I'm Looking Over a Four Leaf Clover", which was a number one hit on the Billboard pop chart in 1948.
