@Daphne Van Zant I grew up listening to Glenn Miller with my late grandmother ( I'm 39) and still ABSOLUTELY LOVE this music! I consider myself blessed to have this music in my heart ❤ I'm very sorry for the loss of your father.
I'm so sorry for your loss my grandfather saw Glenn Miller in the army on a day the Commanding General was doing a pass review Glenn Miller actually change the music and then everybody started marching perfectly my grandfather told me that Captain Miller ran through the parade to the military band and change the music in a little way everybody in the passing review with marching like there is proud to be in the military
I'm from Russia. And we were allies with the United States in World War II (and in the first as well). My mother was 14 years old, but she always remembered the American processed cheese that she took with her to the cinema in 1942. It was given to children on the advice of doctors. It was so delicious that she ate it and fell asleep in the hall. And an American film was shown - "Serenade of the Sunny Valley" with the Glenn Miller orchestra. Then she was hungry and very scared. But this funny musical movie, as well as American stew and cheese, saved many Russians. Glenn Miller's music, she loved all her life. He gave many the strength to survive. Why are we such enemies now?
Because of Stalin The goal of Communism And unfortunately former Communistic Putin. The Russian people ( 600,000- 40 MILLION ) were slaughtered by Stalin... Over here in US I've friends of those whose parents escaped. Prior to WWII the revolution was horrific, and post WWII, Cold War era people lived in constant hyper vigilance. I have friends of Eastern European decent. 😢
❤that is such a beautiful story, I only wish that I had stopped to ask more when I was younger, when my older relatives were alive❤ And in my opinion, it's the government of both countries who are the problem! Thank you for sharing your mom's history with us all
Ive gone through many musical phases in my life. Rock, Soul, Blues, Rhythm and Blues, Classic Country. More and more I find myself coming back to these big band/swing vids. These guys were the rockers of their day and its easy to see why it became so big. All those horns playing "decadent" music. The real, original wall of sound.
Cedar Shoals I quite agree. There’s nothing like it to get the old foot tapping! I particularly like this song, too! Have you heard the Andrews Sisters singing it? Brilliant!!
There's a binaural (= near-stereo) copy of the performance available on CD. It was reassembled from separate tracks that Fox had recorded to get better balance. Plus the frequency range goes up to something like 16 kHz, or almost high fidelity. It’s about as close to hearing the band live as any of us can be fortunate to experience.
Actually, you're not hearing what you're seeing. For a movie, they record the piece in a studio first. Then, they film the scene while the studio recording is playing on speakers on the set. The performers play their instruments, the singers sing their songs, all in sync with the playback. Since most movies in that era were filmed with one camera, they would do this several times using different camera setups from different angles and then the editor would work their magic to produce the final cut. It's still impressive and enjoyable, but you're not really watching a true "live performance."
Back in the '80's I had a friend in the New Orleans area who had an apartment where we'd gather during the summer and play this stuff, usually on a Sunday afternoon while partying around the pool. He had an "album"(a vinyl LP) called "Remember Glenn" that was one of our favorites. Great times.
My dad was a WWII navy veteran, and all the big bands were always on, I listen still and it brings me back, such great time to be a kid, thanks dad and mom for your music!!!
Music is music, not what you think of it, stop being so stuck in the past. Music just changes over time and if you can't keep up then you have no worth in today's society
+Mandrake There are all kinds of people. I respect their right to dislike what I like it but I do not share their taste. I think this selection is great. Although from before my own time it is very good to hear.
Oh my! I was raised on Glen Miller. This video and the coreography of the band is so adorable, I showed it to my kids and couldn't stop smiling! Thank you for posting this!
Easily one of the best videos on TH-cam. The sound is amazing and flawless, all of the MANY participants made it look so easy and natural. The showmanship and performance is fantastic! Black & White or not, this is easy to love! *****
Read the book I kept my promise it's the truth about what happened to Glenn Miller and he didn't disappear over the English Channel either; govt propaganda.
Quand on aime passionnément un groupe, une musique, un orchestre, un chanteur, rien n'est plus beau que l'élu de son cœur. Et pourtant... Difficile de se débarrasser des aprioris.
February 12, 2014: From the 1963 graduating class of Paschal High School, Fort Worth, Texas--Happy 100th birthday to a great Paschal alumnus, the late Gordon Lee ("Tex") Beneke! You and Mr. Miller and all your associates did so much to boost the morale and determination of so many Americans during one of our country's darkest times. It was our parents' generation, and in memory of our parents and all other members of their generation--The Greatest Generation--who served the cause of liberty in so many ways, military and civilian alike, during and after that time, so that we might have the opportunity to enjoy the lives we have lived, we proudly salute you! Your wonderful music sounds as good today as ever!
When I was a kid my mother was working late and my grandmother took care of me during the day and she had this song and similar ones running on some specialized radio station all the time. I remember how I was laying on the floor, reading my uncle's 70s era MAD magazines and listening to this. I guess I wouldn't be into it if I wouldn't have this nostalgic connection to it, but a song that has somewhat stayed a part of culture for so long has to be objectively special.
@@guycoat5925 Si tu aimes la musique française, il y a un artiste qui s'appelle Charles Trenet. Quelques chansons que je me souviens sont "Route Nationale 7", "L'âme Des poètes", et "Boum!".
I can always listen to this and music like this will never die, unlike some 1 hit wonder pop hits. This is true music with real musicians and no help from anyone in a studio pushing buttons. Long Live Glenn Miller's music.
Ho ascoltato questo brano in un film visto credo nel 1945 quando avevo 13 anni.Ora che ho superato di 3 mesi gli 89 nell'ascoltarlo mi piace ancora e mi risveglia tanti ricordi.
I'm not from Chattanooga, but I lived in Chattanooga for the first couple of years (when i came to study in the US).. oh My its like my home away from home... Love it :)
Why is it that the bass players are such an important part of the band and yet are so overlooked by so many people. Not only was this bass player good, he was funny. Viva la bass players!!!!
I have to thank my father-in-law if I know these beautiful songs, 'cause he always puts this kind of music in his restaurant here in Italy and goes back and forth carrying plates and singing lol
No wonder this was the first song to get a gold record for over a million copies sold! Glenn Miller was one of the all time best, no doubt! His music is still timeless and had a creative arrangement hardly heard anymore.
This is just, well, so dang AWESOME!!! Such arrangements...just Awesome!!! Thank for sharing this wonderful clip of Americana! This era is what made America Great, and this is part of what makes me so very proud to be an American! 🇺🇸✌👍💗🎺🎹🎶🎵🎼
vive le jazz de ces années là. aujourd'hui nous avons aussi de bons musicien de jazz mais on ne les entends que sur tsf jazz. Dommage. Heureusement il y a internet pour pouvoir tout ecouter. Merci
I saw them in Brisbane in the '80s,( probably the same tour) Tex Beneke was leading the band. Paula Kelly Jnr was the female vocalist. They had the usual 'encore' at the end of the show. Tex Beneke thought we might like to hear their 'latest record'. It was 'In The Mood' - it brought the house down (Festival Hall) with people of all ages dancing in te isles. It was a terrific sound and I am so glad I heard it live. Many of the original band were there as well as Tex.
For whoever is asking whose here in 2024, I'm here, "JULY" 2024!! My mother had sheet music for her organ, it was a music book for piano/organ and one of the songs was Chattanooga choo choo, I used to sing it while she played, plus growing up I'd watch all the old black and white movies on our colored t.v! All the great movies, especially Glenn Miller, Fred & Ginger, Abbott & Costello! But you still had to get up & walk over to the t.v. to change the channel! But, My grandmother loved Glenn Miller & she played an accordian. Back in the mid-90's she was trying to sell it, used to call in to the local radio station, on Saturdays they'd allow folks to submit items for sale, the D.J. would read the item for sale and folks used to listen in and then call the station to see about contact info, etc if they were interested in buying it (this was the early-mid 90's before internet). She was in her late 60's and was downsizing her house, She told me she couldnt even sell the accordian, like new, for even a few bucks, I told her I'd take it, though I never learned to play it, it's still sitting in its original suitcase here in my house. But my best memory was taking this same grandmother, who lived in upstate NY, down to stay with me in Virginia for a few weeks. I was on my 3rd tour in the Military, working in Washington, D.C. I was surprising her with tickets I'd bought for us and my step-daughter to go see "the Glenn Miller Revival". Just watching my grandmother tap her toes or her hand on her lap keeping the beat and lip syncing the words along with the singers up on stage. They were interactive with the audience, calling on folks to "name that song" or see if they could answer some tid bit about the band. That was a pretty darned special night. I only had about 10 more good yrs with her before dimentia then alzhiemers took her. But every once in a while you get a song that sticks in your head, you keep rolling bits of the words and chorus in your head and I've heard & always believed the way to get it to stop is to actually listen to the whole song all the way through, plus I'd forgotten half the lyrics. But it made me remember my grandmother, she was a beautiful woman, raised two kids alone during the depression & WWII. My grandfather passed in 1942 from a brain tumor right after my Uncle was born and they didnt have half the medical know how back then that they do now. My grandmother made everything from scratch, everything! Even "play doh" she kept on cool whip containers in the fridge, that she let us kids help make and used food coloring to make the four basic colors. We'd sit in the kitchen with this plastic sheet on the table (so the dye would bleed into the table), and play for hours. My grandmother Never said a bad word about anyone. Always found the good in everyone. I'm listening to Glenn Miller right now and I know My grandmother is nearby, tapping her foot or keeping the beat with her hand tapping on her lap! LOVE & Miss you to BITS, Grandma!!
You know how most kids hate their parents' music? Not me. My dad was a WW2 vet and my mom was a teenager then. This was their music and I loved listening to it when they played it.
I surprised my grandparents with this song with my grandparents anniversary day I got a band together a big band and we played this exactly the same song in the same way it brought tears to everybody's eyes
When i was a child, i always watched a movie called Babe: Pig in the city and it was the first time i heard this song. In the movie a duck flies to catch the plane and this song sounds in that scene. Also there are other songs that are remarkable like this such as That's Amore by Dean Martin. Amazing movie amazing song!
When it comes to "Big Band" music, the first thing that comes to mind is "The Glenn Miller Orchestra"... I just wish that I was around in that era, to see them play live...
My Dad passed away in 2002. but managed to take me to see Glenn Miller at least once before he passed. Thanks Dad!!
Můj tatínek miloval jeho hudbu... i ten krásný film ZASNĚŽENÁ ROMANCE pro tatínka do nebes

Who is here in 2024?
Ive gone through many musical phases in my life. Rock, Soul, Blues, Rhythm and Blues, Classic Country. More and more I find myself coming back to these big band/swing vids. These guys were the rockers of their day and its easy to see why it became so big. All those horns playing "decadent" music. The real, original wall of sound.
Cedar Shoals I quite agree. There’s nothing like it to get the old foot tapping! I particularly like this song, too! Have you heard the Andrews Sisters singing it? Brilliant!!
@@ShoshiPlatypus Yes I have...and their big hit "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" as well. Awesome!
@Jeff Young 👍👍
Cedar Shoals I’m 67, work and stream big band music in the background every day. It’s captivating
Привет я Паша Манько
The band has a great sound. It would have been fantastic to hear them in real life.
Yes!
There's a binaural (= near-stereo) copy of the performance available on CD. It was reassembled from separate tracks that Fox had recorded to get better balance. Plus the frequency range goes up to something like 16 kHz, or almost high fidelity. It’s about as close to hearing the band live as any of us can be fortunate to experience.
They still going on off coarse ne w guy !!
This band was killed off by WW2... (In a number of cases literally).
Yeah I love this music and Glen millar or Miller I wS brought up with this music backdou d I'm nearly 70 fantastic music ohld listen all night
American bands in the 30’s and 40’s were the cream of the crop!!!! Glenn was classically trained, and you can see, these guys knew their instruments.
And to think that was all done WITHOUT multi-track recording and digital processing!
Exactly
True and you had to have real talent to pull off that type of music!
They only even needed electricity for the recording. Sound is all acoustic
that was Talent not like the garbage we get today
Actually, you're not hearing what you're seeing. For a movie, they record the piece in a studio first. Then, they film the scene while the studio recording is playing on speakers on the set. The performers play their instruments, the singers sing their songs, all in sync with the playback.

It's still impressive and enjoyable, but you're not really watching a true "live performance."
It's absolutely perfect! These musicians were masters of their parts.
Right. EACH MUSICIAN was a fantastic player. It's little wonder that in a big band they sound dynamite!

No computer help here, all good old fashioned talent.
Beautiful music and always will be.
nothing out there can even come close good clean music
what about Glen Miller's camera awareness, light years ahead of his time the guy's a bloody musical and stage genius
Never gets old😊
A great song to wake up to.
Me and the boys listening to the radio in 1941
This was American music at it's best. Highly skilled musicians playing sounds that were pleasing to hear.

I'm 22 and for the longest time have been into music like this. 'Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy' and this track, too, are particular favorites of mine!
Hi! You are 32 now. That's crazy. How were the last 10 years?
@carollice and now they're 34 also pinged you to come back to this music :p
Glenn Miller was an Iowa native, as am I. He was sadly lost when his aircraft was lost over the English Channel Dec. 1944. In the Mood!
difa2ol Yes, just before the Germans launched their offensive known as "the Battle of the Bulge" on December 16. A rough period for the U.S. of A....
Wow! I always thought,Mr. Miller was from the BIG APPLE!
Read the book I kept my promise it's the truth about what happened to Glenn Miller and he didn't disappear over the English Channel either; govt propaganda.
That was a sad day!
Thats just what they told you.if you had a high enough clearance i could tell you the truth!
God, real music. I am a child of the 60’s and 70’s. This music far surpasses any music of that time frame.

I was born too late! I simply love this music.
Better than being born too soon and never getting to hear it. ;-)
You are not alone
I was too, except my mother played it when i was a kid and kept it alive for me.
BETTER LATE THAN NEVER !!!
Lucky we have youtube!
the best kind of music something you can enjoy listen to and understand all the words
What teenagers would listen to in the 40s and 50s. This cool
In the 50s we were listening to rock and roll, Elvis, the Everly Brothers, Brenda Lee. But we had to play it away from our parents who hated it.
And as a teenager from today and not the past i can CONFIRM this is quality 👌
I just love how he makes the instruments sound like a train on a train track :)

"You leave the Pennsylvania Station 'bout a quarter to four
When a rock shatters a train window, you're in Baltimore"
@Iain Botham , just passin' through...(STEP ON IT!!!).
Funny because its true.
And get this: A Baltimore childhood memory of conductor David Zinman was throwing a rock through Bela Bartok's window.
@Frances Van Siclen It was nice. I grew up there. Baltimore today is a terribly sad place.

But my best memory was taking this same grandmother, who lived in upstate NY, down to stay with me in Virginia for a few weeks. I was on my 3rd tour in the Military, working in Washington, D.C. I was surprising her with tickets I'd bought for us and my step-daughter to go see "the Glenn Miller Revival". Just watching my grandmother tap her toes or her hand on her lap keeping the beat and lip syncing the words along with the singers up on stage. They were interactive with the audience, calling on folks to "name that song" or see if they could answer some tid bit about the band. That was a pretty darned special night. I only had about 10 more good yrs with her before dimentia then alzhiemers took her. But every once in a while you get a song that sticks in your head, you keep rolling bits of the words and chorus in your head and I've heard & always believed the way to get it to stop is to actually listen to the whole song all the way through, plus I'd forgotten half the lyrics. But it made me remember my grandmother, she was a beautiful woman, raised two kids alone during the depression & WWII. My grandfather passed in 1942 from a brain tumor right after my Uncle was born and they didnt have half the medical know how back then that they do now. My grandmother made everything from scratch, everything! Even "play doh" she kept on cool whip containers in the fridge, that she let us kids help make and used food coloring to make the four basic colors. We'd sit in the kitchen with this plastic sheet on the table (so the dye would bleed into the table), and play for hours. My grandmother Never said a bad word about anyone. Always found the good in everyone. I'm listening to Glenn Miller right now and I know My grandmother is nearby, tapping her foot or keeping the beat with her hand tapping on her lap! LOVE & Miss you to BITS, Grandma!!
You know how most kids hate their parents' music? Not me. My dad was a WW2 vet and my mom was a teenager then. This was their music and I loved listening to it when they played it.
I'm an absolute sucker for brass music, this song is a new favorite.
that's my cousin in the white sweater singing second tenor, Ralph Brewster...!
Super! I’ve been very privileged to know his widow Bonnie. She's the greatest.
Cool!
One of my father's favorite, grew up listening to this. Brings back wonderful memories.

I surprised my grandparents with this song with my grandparents anniversary day I got a band together a big band and we played this exactly the same song in the same way it brought tears to everybody's eyes
Wow! Paula Kelly! Talented and beautiful!
When i was a child, i always watched a movie called Babe: Pig in the city and it was the first time i heard this song. In the movie a duck flies to catch the plane and this song sounds in that scene. Also there are other songs that are remarkable like this such as That's Amore by Dean Martin. Amazing movie amazing song!
Glen Miller at best this fantastic Time during World War 2 !
THE GOOD OLD DAYS ARE ALL GONE NOW BUT WE STILL HAVE THE GREAT SONGS FROM WAY BACK WHEN
I've never heard this song before. This is cool!
Thanks for this...brings back so many wonderful memories of my parents dancing in the living room :) sure miss them so much.
When it comes to "Big Band" music, the first thing that comes to mind is "The Glenn Miller Orchestra"... I just wish that I was around in that era, to see them play live...
Jus saw thus band live last week! What an incredible experience! They tour every year and tickets are cheap. I'd highly recommend seeing them
