There can only be a handful of people in the Western world who haven’t heard of Glenn Miller and his music. His orchestra existed for only five years yet it made an indelible mark on the history of popular music, changing and modernising dance music styles almost overnight.
Along with his contemporaries, Benny Goodman, the Dorsey Brothers, Artie Shaw and others, he was a driving force and combined swing with out and out dance music which kept the publics attention, not only in those five short years which saw the outbreak of World War II, but ever since.
Glenn Miller collectors will always point out that the ten or so bestsellers, most of them instrumentals, are just scratching the surface of Millers output of over 300 sides for RCA in the States, and this collection covers not only the most well known and perhaps best loved titles that Glenn made his own, but also a goodly selection of the rest.
Miller’s famous theme, Moonlight Serenade, performs its usual task of getting things under way. No surprise that this record is one of the five most requested discs on record programmes in this country and surely the most imitated record by other bands down the years. Recorded in April 1939 and just six days before that other favourite, Little Brown Jug, Millers theme puts us all in the mood for what follows. - เพลง

Boa música. Música a sério!
Thank you SO much!! :-)>3
OK
This band had it all!!!
At 85 years old, I can recall during the war when this was played on the radio. That was truly the big band era. Tommy Dorsey, Artie Shaw, Louis Armstrong, all those great musicians were on the radio every day. This was all that was played. That was a time when everyone loved America and was buying war bonds and using ration stamps. We all supported the war effort. We had paper drives at school. All the kids collected and saved news papers for the drive. Our family did not have a car, so my parents traded their gasoline ration stamps for food and meat ration stamps. This was in southern California, we had black outs and the planes patrolling the coast would pass over our house. We kids were scared out of our minds. Mr. Perkins our neighborhood Air Raid Warden would come out into the street and yell "blackout", as he cranked his hand crank siren. Everyone turned their lights out as the street lights went out. It was total darkness. We kids hid under the table as the planes flew over. This music played through all of that. We were in the dark but the radio stayed on for news reports. No TV. We lived through it, and when the war was over, Joe Louis was on the radio performing his boxing matches. And the music played on.
Your memories are what we hear in this music. Thanks for your thoughts and thank you for posting.
That’s amazing! You described it so well that I felt like I could see it.
Thank you for sharing this valuable piece of history with us
I was born in 1938, so my boyhood included World War II. I grew up near Topeka, Kansas, so no blackouts. However, I do remember the ration stamps, drives to sell war bonds, and one of my sisters twelve years older than me enlisting and serving in the WAVES. I think that she served for three years after her basic training. She was stationed in San Francisco as a Storekeeper 1st. Class. At that location the WAVES were responsible for ordering, storing, and shipping supplies for the war effort in the South Pacific. I had two other sisters still at home during the war and I remember them listening to this kind of music on the radio. Of course I was also listening even though I was only three to six years old.
@@donbowman5810it’s amazing you’ve stayed alive this long. I hope to live as much as you. Thanks for your story
What's sad is we live in a time where kids are now taught to hate America. Don't get me wrong, I'm not blind to the things that need changed... however we have the best thing going in this world. It's called FREEDOM!!! This music takes me back to a time where bands were the standard!! Horns, percussion, and band leaders!!!! I'm 57 and I wish I could have seen Glen Miller in his prime.
Strange as it may seem, this music make me nostalgic for an era I didn't even live in.
It's not strange at all. I feel the same way.
But…maybe you did…
The music reflects a better era and people.
Me, too! I can listen to Moonlight Serenade all day long.
Feel the same way
Age doesn't play a factor in your music tastes. I'm 16, and this is still better than modern music
@@wastelandpot0032 - Yeah. The music of the far past never ceases to amaze me and many more, and I'm sure it'll be a true blessing to search for old music
I'm 13 year old and I love this music
It's cool how high school bands still play music of this era. When I was in high school in 2014, kids were listening to things like "Summertime" by George Gershwin, aside from the 2010s music.
I remember listening to "Elmer's Tune" back in 1944 while waiting for news of my cousin Bob whose escort carrier USS Block Island was sunk in the Atlantic. We found out that he had survived and had been picked up by a destroyer and taken to Casablanca. Glen Miller's music helped this country get through a hard time. It was probably the last time that all Americans were united in a common cause. I'm 85 now born in 1934 and every time I hear Glenn Miller's theme song "Moonlight Serenade" it takes me back to the war years with bitter sweet memories.
So correct in so many ways, we went through such though times but people were kinder, music and melodies were beautiful back then which gave us something beautiful enjoy and love
@@kathleenforkey9104 You're certainly correct about the people and the music during the war years. It seemed then that the war would go on forever and Glenn Miller's music helped you get through days filled with both hope and despair as the battles ebbed and flowed. It was a great relief when VE and VJ day finally arrived and the men came home from Europe and the Far East to marry and raise families and optimism for the future of America thrived. We all thought then that there were only better times ahead for all Americans. It is unfortunate that the spirit of cooperation and friendliness that prevailed during the war no longer exists and will in all probability never return. It is indeed strange that it took a war to unite our people and the peace that came after destroyed that unity. The beauty of Glenn Miller's music has disappeared the same way Glenn disappeared over the English Channel flying to France in 1944 and has been replaced by music that is no longer as romantic or inspiring. Most songs written then were love songs with beautiful melodies and lyrics by great composers and musicians -- this is no longer the case.
Si
Stephen Leo Amazing story sir, thank you for sharing.
In 1944 you would have been 10 years old. Do you mean 1924?
If so then you have to be 94 as of 2 years ago...
I'm loving Glenn Miller in 2020 who is listening with me?
Yep
Lov,love love ! He allows me to dream!
Me. I'm 70 and this song has always been my favourite of the songs my parents used to play on their 78's. They loved to dance, met at a dance and their war memories were interspersed with tales of attending dances in Toronto with some of the biggest of the Bg Bands.
Yes love it!
Me! Wish I could have been there!
My Mom and Dad are dancing in Heaven to this wonderful Music....
I am 89 years old dancing and romancing alone in my kitchen remembering my husband
You are a member of the greatest generation! 😊
Maybe there wouldn't be so much discontentment in the world if we went back to having dance halls and Saturday nights when having a decent time was lovely and wondrous.
Every generation should hear Glenn Miller! 🎶
Amen! to hear what music really sounded like.
I’m 63 & as a young teen I spent glorious summers in a small midwestern town at my Grandparents house. Days were filled with Big Band music that played on Grandpas HiFi in the basement. The floor vents were speakers! The evenings on the back porch listening to stories of The Great Depression & The War & on. Every time I listen to 40’s now i wish i could go back for just a summer & relive it again.
Man this brings back memories. One day, in the spring of 1978, while I was rummaging through the record bins at the local K-Mart (we didn't have a local record store, so K-Mart was our only option for music), I came across a double album of Glenn Miller's greatest hits. My mom was a big Glenn Miller fan, so for once in my miserable, self-centered existence I did something for someone else and bought the album for her (I still have it, by the way, along with Aerosmith's first release, Frank Zappa and countless other classics of the era). I remember playing the album on my Lafayette turntable stereo system in my bedroom. Mom came in, sat down on the foot of my bed and I swore I watched 40 years of life's hardships magically melt away. Insofar as Dad was born in 1917 and Mom was born in 1918, they were true "Swing Kids" (for the reader's benefit, I came along rather late in my parents' lives: I was born when they were in their 40s). As we sat there together in the back bedroom of the old house on Fort Hunt Road in the growing darkness of a warm spring evening, we listened to Tuxedo Junction, Moonlight Serenade, Perfidia, The Chatanooga Choo Choo and so many others of Miller's classics. As her mind drifted down memory lane to people and experiences and events long since past, to life before the arduous years of the war, the taxing decades of marriage to a naval aviator and raising three sons, her normally impenetrable facade of stoicism dropped and I caught a brief glimpse of what she must have been like when my father first met her at the Army-Navy game of 1938: a vivacious, vibrant, ebullient young woman in the prime of youth, when life was a "bowl of cherries" (her quote, not mine).
I thought my message was sent.
Are you aware of your ability to to write.
I was so present to your moment and message..
That is a wonderful story.
This is a copy of another story.
What a good writer you are.
Please tell me you're a writer - if you are, I'd like a good read...
my Granny died on Sunday at the age of 93. she loved Glen Miller. this one's for you, Gran. hope you're dancing up a storm right now
Bless you and your Granny she had Great Taste.!!
Hope she is to..
@ Johnnybaby80, I’m sorry to hear about your Granny! I hope she is resting in peace now! 🌹🌹🌹🌹
She is! / Healing to your heart & blessings.
🌹
Sorry to hear that pal. I'm sure she's somwhere, enjoying herself. Great taste in music too.
As a 72 year old Brit who lives in East Anglia, England where the Mighty 8th USAAF was based in WW2. I say thank you to all who served and thank you for the music of your era. With every glass of English ale I toast the memory of those who died to give me my freedom. Thanks guys!
Gratitude is always wonderful.
John, I am very familiar with the Mighty 8th Air Corps, 466th Bombardment Group based in Attlebridge, England...a long time ago. Glenn Miller's music brings back a lot of memories.
Thank you for the thoughts. And a toast of that fine ale back to you on that count, both to those who died and those who came back, no matter which flag they served. They built the modern world. It is often said that "we owe them a debt that can never be repaid". I agree completely. My father was in the 467th bomb group based at RAF Rackheath, not far out of Norwich. He was the flight engineer/top turret gunner on a B24. He didn't talk much about his service while I was growing up and me, being young and stupid, unfortunately didn't ask much either. But one story that he always loved to tell was of the times he would be on leave and, going into the local pubs, he was never able to buy himself a drink. The Brits at the bar would never allow it! Lol. Rather, they would insist, in no uncertain terms, on paying for his drink. Its funny how music brings all this back into focus.
AAAMEN ! From an English lady living in America... Brought here after war... Mom and dad both served and they met at the base outside London... The name slips me right now... Oh, well, they say OLD AGE DOES THAT ! 😢😊😞😍
Hear Hear Hear John! I am an 83 year old Jewish Yank (born in '39 before the War) and every time I see a very old guy with a WWII Vet cap, I stop, salute and say "Thank you for saving my Jewish ass." But they saved us all. And let's not forget about those Spits, Hurricanes, Sterlings and Lancasters! Cheers, Young Mate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And may I thank you for all my aviator relatives in it, now all gone of course.
My mother loved listening to Glenn Miller. I hope she gets to listen to him in heaven.
Maybe shes met him
Mat,God bless your mom she hanging with the Big Band and with my mom's.
she does
There must be Big Band in heaven! Glenn Miller might have greeted her❤️
Today is my dad's 88th birthday, he passed away a few months ago. Glenn Miller always put him in a great mood. I had to find this channel today to remember my dad and connect with him spiritually, it was meant to be. Thank you for soothing my grief and tears, and for bringing back my great childhood memories.
Condolences regarding the loss of your dad, hard to comprehend I know. Glad to know that this wonderful music has somehow helped. It can be so incredibly powerful; so very special. All the best x
Condolences to you and yours, Karen. My Dad would have been 94 on Jan. 17th. 2024, so I can relate to the feelings you are experiencing. Their generation experienced one of the greatest eras in music and it's orchestration along with the composition, singing, and dancing that accompanied it.
Pop passed 4 years ago this Wednesday on 3/13/30. On a Friday. Mom 2 years ago in April. I was raised on this music. At 56 I listen to this on a shuffle playlist. Along with Ray Anthony, Dean Martin, Ella, Nat, Jackie Gleason and on and on. My Parents made this the Music of Our Lives. Took them to see the Glenn Miller Orchestra of few times in Indy. They are here with me now as I listen to this wonderful music. Music soothes the soul. Mom and Pop are Dream Dancing in Heaven.
My ,My ,My, how Lovely my precious darling husband and I danced to this beautiful music on our first anniversary and we couldn't keep our eyes off of each other , the whole of the night was all for us, we were in heaven , and our love just kept growing as time past those precious moments away, and to this day he was my greatest love and greatest friend🥰💗
Hello Connie
Beautiful!! Tears💦💦
I would like to dedicate this to my late father, who passed away in 2019. He introduced me to Glenn Miller and the other big band greats.
yes , my late dad too
I graduated in 1973 and was in Dance Band, I played the tenor saxophone, and Tuxedo Junction was my favorite. This era of big bands is in a class of its own. Speed ahead 30 years and my daughter is in what they now call Jazz Band. They don't play the big band music, but I was so proud of her. She is a much better sax player than I could ever hope to be. BUT....I was in our Alumni Band and got to march on field with her while she was in high school, I will allways remember that.
I dedicated my "first dance" at my Wedding that is supposed to be with your Dad to my Dad. He had passed away before I got married. My Uncle (his brother) and I danced to Moonlight Serenade. There wasn't a dry eye in the house. I grew up on this music. ❤️
I have loved this music all my life. I am only 57. I think maybe I was born out of synch with time. lol
Born in 1928, lived in LA just under the Hollywood Hills. Danced and sang to all these songs. Remember Green Eyes, Mr. Five by Five, In the Mood, Moonlight Serenade. It was a time of love, war and family. Americans worked together. The music was music and you understood the lyrics.
What a golden and resilient generation. My grandmother was born in 1929, the stories and experiences she tells us are mesmerizing. Connected by Glenn Miller magic. Have a wonderful day.
Wasn't there legal segregation sanctioned by the American govt then?
Bless you!
👍👍👍👍👍aa
@@kefield5161 When the United States entered World War II the U.S. military was racially segregated. President Truman abolished racial segregation in the military in 1948.
I cant believe I'm listening to music made 50 years before I was born
That’s true of any great composer. Earlier today I listened to some AAF Band broadcast recordings and now I have a Haydn CD spinning.
That's awesome, haha. My mom listened to it, so I grew an affinity for it too...And I was born in '68.😅
👍👍👍👍👍aa
I very much appreciate this Big Band style. Especially, this song. I think I was born in the wrong era.
Would love to go back to those years ...
Amen , the greatest generation by far !
I am a nursing assistant and I work in a nursing home. At my first CNA job, one of the residents would have me play Moonlight Serenade as I got her dressed and ready for the day. I always think of her when I hear that song.
This to my Uncle Tony who died of COVID-19 the other day, A Good Man. He loved to play the great old music. He had a playful nature and didn't take things too seriously, something to aspire towards. Here's to Uncle Tony!
Interesting fact: my Uncle's Grandmother died of the Spanish Flu in 1918, he never knew her though.
Sorry you lost him but he lives on for you through this music. . He sounds like a good man.
@@thatguy1060 , he was a "Salt of the Earth" kind of person.
Everybody please get vaccinated.
@@overaroundunder Uhm, no.
My Nan and grandad used to sing moonlight serenade to each other along with don't go under the apple tree without anyone else but me. Grandad was in the RAF in ww2 and Nan was working on the Wellington bombers through that time. Moonlight serenade often takes me back to their stories. Nan had a special place for moonlight serenade and I often think about them together when it is played.
This is real music.
Makes me feel both my parents are still here.
all music is real music and sorry for your loss
R.I.P to your parents. Hopefully, they can dance to these songs together in a better place:)
Me too
This music will always live on for millions of years
I feel the same way, Andra. My parents danced with the Moonlight Serenade during their 50th Wedding Anniversary. RIP to your parents.
This was my dad's favorite song (moonlight serenade) and when he was in the hospital suffering from a heart attack and not knowing if he was going to make it, I was on the other side of the country. When I knew my brother was there visiting with him I called him while my dad was asleep in a coma and played his song over the phone and my brother placed it next to my dad's ear and he swore my dad started to smile a bit. I am sorry to say my father did not survive his attack but for one brief moment in his final hours he did get to smile one more time. My dad grew up in the 40's and remembers everything about how things were when he and my mother meet in in 1940 and how he and my mom use to go to nightclubs and dance to this music. I miss him...
What a beautiful memory! What a gift!
When my dad was dying I sang to him I'll Be Seeing You. It was very rich... Music soothes the soul!
When a son miss its father, it means that the father made his job. You are PROUD of him and -even now- you can make your father PROUD of u. CONGRATS!
That's quite possibly one of the most romantically tragic stories I've ever heard. It honestly brought tears to my eyes to read this.
I play this music to my 92 year old father who has dementia. It seems to resonate with him and calms him.
I am VERY SURE your dad heard it. How thoughtful of you to do that.
I may be tattooed man but this music always brings a tear to my eye. Marcus
The greatest generation saved civilization!
I was raised on this wonderful music. I wish it would come back. You could actually dance to this music.
Although Glen Miller was long gone, when I was born in 1948, my father kept him alive, by always playing his records, when I was growing up. It caused me to take up the Saxophone, with some moderate success. Thank you Dad, for always supporting me. I miss my father very much, but Glen Miller's music, always reminds me of my father.
I wasn't born until 1954 but grew up with my dad constantly playing BIg Band music, including the wonderful Glen MIller, Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, Joe Loss and their music reminds me of dad to this day. Dad has been gone 35 years now...
Born in 49 I always heard my parents play this music.
Reminds me of my grandmother. Beautiful.
My own Dad passed away in 2002. We played Moonlight Seranade as we carried him out of church. Grew up listening to All the greats, Benny goodman, Tommy Dorsey, Duke Elleton My Dad used to BLARE these on a sunday morning! RIP wonderful Dad. You placed this beautiful music in my palm, and in my heart forever. Xxx
Im only 74!! But grew up with this music!! My Dad was a WWII Vet and mom had a big radio witha turn table in front with many 78 records of this misic!!! One of my favorites was Bumble bee buggy, by B. Bummel and the stingers!!!
Bumbl÷ bee BOOGIE!😊
Moonlight serenade is the kind of music you would like to hear when you enter into heaven.
I am 56. This is what I grew up listening to. Thank you Mom and Pop. I took My Parents to Beef & Boards in Indianapolis to see the Glenn Miller orchestra a few times. I loved watching them dance around the edge of the dance floor. My fiancee and I saw them April 23 in Effingham IL. Absolutely some of the best music. Mom and Pop are Dream Dancing in Heaven now. To the Music of Our Lives!!
When music WAS MUSIC!!!
My Mom, 🙏 whenever she heard this song would cry. I asked her and she would say I was thinking of your father being overseas and all the other soldiers. Luckily he made it home but passed way to soon. 👍🇺🇸
We had A Glen Miller band at our school Prom back in 1958. (A bit out of date but still there). It was romantic. Glen Miller music was in the aire, You could hear Moonlight Serenade streaming out of cars and diners. What a fabulous era. It’s part of my memories even though Glen Miller was back n the 40’s.
Moonlight Serenade might just be the single greatest song ever composed and performed. It makes a person feel like everything is perfect , calm and meant to be. I have listened to every genre and it is by far the to use a term I hate... The GOAT!!!!!!!!
I was born far too late. Thank you to my Uncle Ed for introducing me to this music when I was a teenager. Forever in your memory. Love Danny.
It is amazing that Glenn Miller has over a million views. Wow! It just goes to show you that the good stuff never dies.
Потому что это музыка божественна, проста и понятна каждому....
2,500,000 talk about good stuff
and you get 100 thumbs up
@@fredfarkle-bp9en Thanks! Check out my original music on TH-cam. Just search Gwyn Nielsen. Take care.
Nothing beats the sounds of a big band
I was born in 2001, I'm currently 20 years old and I love this type of music. Greetings from Europe.
My mom and dad's music. I feel close to them when I hear it!
I wish that my mother & father was here they love the music they dance to it.
Hello Beverly, How are you doing?
@@Kelly-nm4kw I am doing fine .nice night here.
@@beverleypowell127 Sounds Interesting, So where are you from Beverly?
Dad used to have Glen Miller playing on the 8 track out in the garage when he was working on stuff.....He served in the Pacific on a destroyer escort USS Fieberling ( DE 640 )
im in western australia and my dad is 90 and about to die. im playing his favourite album wholesale 24/7 in memory of a beautiful life not much of a father but a good man all the same im 63 now and im next i spose but i always remember pa saying "SON LIFE IS TO SHORT DRINK THE GOOD WINE FIRST" happy new year to the old folk cheers roberty lee
I am playing this video for my old Air Force buddy, Ian, who died last day of March. Ian was what you could call a Glenn Miller fanatic. A great guy who introduced me to the Miller Sound way back in the 1950s when great music could be heard every minute of the day, unlike the trash they serve nowadays.
John God bless you 🙏
Moonlight serenade is Such a bittersweet melody. Sad and beautiful at the same time
Will we ever be able to make anything this beautiful again?
I miss music like this. I absolutely love Glenn Miller. I was born in 1963 and it wasn't until I watched old movies that I heard about Big Band music and I was hooked.
Before my time but my father taught me to appreciate fantastic music and he introduced me to everything of his era and I still prefer his era of superb music and talent.
This was our parents music. We sit on our back porch and listen and imagine them in their younger years , in love and enjoying this magical music❤️
World of wars...music....fashion of...my...dady...1940....thank you so much
AT 83 I can not imagine finer arrangements by THE RESIDENT GENIUS!!!
Nothing beats 40s music. I was born 50 years too late.😁
From progressive to experimental music how did I come to this? This is a new universe.
so many older people in the comments, but as a gen z this music is so calming to me, i love listening to it.
yeeesss this kind of music goes perfect with sitting outside making a fire. young gen z here
I WAS BORN IN1946. I REMEMBER ALL THIS MUSIC BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT WAS PLAYED ON THE RADIO WHEN I WAS GROWING UP . STILL LOVE IT.
I also remember it as well.l am 76 and can still see my parent knowing all the move.
This is so much fun to dance to.
It's 2022 and I'm 75, love this music. Reminds me of my childhood and the many good moments with my godmorher, I grew up with her.
I'm 46 years old and I love Glenn Miller's music so does my son.
this song reminds me of my late mom. rest in peace mom.
This was the golden age of music
Brings back great memories jumping up in bed with my dad on Saturday morning as he turned on the big band station on the radio, he would tell me stories from his teenage years in the early 40’s about the dances and how he meet my mom.
Great music from THE greatest generation
Love Glenn Miller.born 1971.👍👍👍👍👍🙏
My WW 2 / Depression Era parents loved this song…..in 8th grade I came home from school and caught them dancing to this song on the record player.
Listening to this divine music on New Years Eve-2023 ❤
We will die but music like this will live for eternity
Glenn miller gets my tears flowing. My dad loved it and I miss him
There ain't enough O's in Smoooooth to describe Miller's music.
Glenn Miller was the BEST.
Absolutely timeless music, still giving me goosebumps in 2022.
This was the music for dancing a slow with the girl of your dreams...
Remembering my beloved mother who ever mentioned her favorite big band Glenn Miller. She was born in era Dutch East Indie 1932. Love you mom ❤️
My daddy would ONLY allow good music to be played in his presence! I grew up loving big band! Glenn Miller is one of my favorites!💝
Quite before I was born, but as a baby my parents would have the old radio on and out came the sound of big bands
This is still the music to dance to.
Hello Karen 👋, How are you doing?
I am a post ww2 Cuban baby but I grew up listening and adoring this music.
Reading the below comments, I can tell this music rekindles different memories for different people. For me, when I hear Glenn Miller I have flashbacks to dining in the "91st Bomb Group Restaurant", a WWII-themed restaurant that operated in the 1980s in Memphis, TN. The restaurant was located next to the Memphis International Airport and even had the famous B-17 bomber, the Memphis Belle, parked next to the building. The vintage atmosphere attracted young and old alike and was especially popular among veterans. The building was designed to resemble a bombed-out European farmhouse and was filled with 1940s era memorabilia such as old maps, photos, flags and posters. The doors operated with sandbags and pulleys, wait staff wore period clothing and big band music played in the background. I ate there with my parents on several occasions as it was one of their favorite classy "date-night" dinning establishments. Thanks for the memories...
What a great story!!! Thanks!
No matter what life throws at you just serenade through the pain
Long distance learning teaching music appreciation to granddaughter. Music from her great grandparents era..thanks
I wanna go back in time and just stay in this time 😄 How are you doing?
My dad loved Glenn Miller
Boy, the way Glenn Miller played...
...songs that made the _Hit Parade!_
this song always reminds me of the war years and how people would gather to listen to this kind of music, classy cant beat it.
Listening and remembering my awesome Grandpa! He would listen to big band music while reading his newspaper and drinking his beer at night. Glenn Miller in the mood was his favourite song 🍻 Here's to you, Grandpa!
The radio was the main source of entertainment at home and big band music is what people listened to. The good old times before TV.
Forever music.......can't say that about what is done today
GLENN MILLER FOREVER AND EVER THE BEST BAND.REALLY THE BEST..!!!!!!
I agree with you.
Greetings from Mérida, Yucatán, México.
Moonlight Serenade by Glenn Miller, you can imagine all the service men in uniform dancing around the club with someone they just met. It is a beautiful thought to imagine. But the truth is many of them would buried at Cemeteries around Europe and in Hawaii, at Punch Bowl. May they all Rest in Peace.
His music never grows old.
I really miss my grandparents. They bought me up on this music and the concept of Love. My granny died recently aged 99. She ruled. So grateful she gave her heart to The Lord before she died. More than I could have asked for. I I will always love this music 💗
❤️❤️❤️
💞💞💞
my pop served in WWII, he died 10yrs ago and my nana is almost 89. This music reminds me of them, when they were young. I'm so glad your grandmother gave her heart to Christ. My grandparents are believers too. It's so wonderful to know that one day we'll be together again!
A beautiful time in history comes alive when I hear this music. I was born too late into a world that just doesn't glow as bright as it did. I wish the history between colors was different but I would never change the sound of the music. One of the most authentic times where love was not just a word but a feeling...
👍👍👍👍👍aa
Great music for all time .
I'm 45 I remember listening to this in my 20's and I prentended to be the conductor
I'm 3 months old and I listen to Glenn Miller in my crib! I find it very relaxing, while I stare at the ceiling!
my dad was spot on in his choice of music, we live in culturally depleted times.
Agree....blow daddy blow... "Corrina Corrina" film w/ Goldberg & Liotta👍👍
that's an understatement. I've been trying to get the right word for it for years. Culturally depleted just doesn't cut it.
The greatest generation's music! God bless em....
When I hear this, I am deeply connected with my grandparents. This music is a small piece of life that I could share with them. I miss them. I also think of Mr. Glenn Miller. May he rest in peace wherever he rests.
Oldies are the best!!! Never go out of style.
