Who is the first pop producer?

Mitch Miller

Sir George Martin

Phil Spector

Jimmy Bowman

Sonny Burke

or Teo Macero
 
Pop is just short for popular. You need to go back a lot further in time...
 
Who produced Frank Sinatra, Perry Como, Buddy Holly, Bill Hailey and The King? I am sure that whoever produced these guy's records are a little earlier that Phil Spectre and the Beatles.
 
The answer is Mitch Miller.
When Mitch Miller joined Columbia records he produced almost 90% of the labels output until 1963.
His power with a session was arranging/sometimes conductor, the artists vocal, reverbe and echo, which mics would be used, mic placement in studio. During his time at Columbia the main orchestras that were used were that of Ray Conniff, Percy Faith and his own orchestra. He was also oversaw mixing, cutting a metal master, and always checked personally the first few copies pressed and was also incharge of signing artists. He created what was know as the Columbia sound. Columbia has the most interesting and advanced sessions. He produced almost every session of all the big artists of the era. Like Frank Sinatra's Columbia sessions, Rosemary Clooney, Tony Bennette, Marty Robbins, Ray Conniff, a few from Miles Davis, Duke Ellington and the list goes one and one.

The second was George Martin when he took the position of head or Parlaphone Records. He worked as producer/arranger/conductor/head for classical/jazz/comedy and pop.

PS: yes Edison Records was one of the first labels, but the label was operated outside his control. Recordings from the late 1800s until the 1930s didn't have producers. Or very few did mostly classical. And the the role of the producer was just to record the session and had no input.
