I’m 67 years old and grew up in a neighborhood filled with WWII veterans who were my friends’ fathers. When there was a block party (in the early to mid 1960’s) all the Moms and Dads would bring out their big band music vinyl, and would blare it and dance to it all night long! None of us kids could believe OUR PARENTS could jitter-bug that much AT THEIR AGE!! (They were actually only in their late 30’s and early 40’s but to us, they were old Mom and Dad…..until we saw the jitterbug queens and kings!!). ❤❤❤ I still tear up whenever I think back on those memories. 😢
My family reunions at my grandmother's house three or four times a year weren't complete until my dad sat at the piano, Uncle George tuned up his sax and clarinet, Uncle Bernard pulled his guitar (my guitar now :) out of its case and I plugged in my bass. Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, the Dorsey brothers, Frank, Dean, Mel and the rest of the 'Great American Songbook' were the standards we played all night and into the next morning. I didn't realize back then the musical education I received. I also didn't realize what great times they were. They still make me smile when I reminisce.
I tell those who hear that playing a musical instrument between the 50’s + 70’s was not uncommon at all. Public schools all taught music. It was a standard sacrificed for those too angry from seeing Civil Rights being protected. That’s the beginning of the push back by the totally wrong “Right”. Some see it. Some don’t but smirk off to the side. Peace
John, I am a bit younger, (60) and I was introduced to Big Band, Swing, Opera and Classical, as a Child as well as music from the 50' and 60s (and more). I freakin ADORE Glenn Miller!! Have you seen the story on the 17 year old , female Jazz Crooner? The best music is eternal!
I'm only 73, but "My Momma" turns 100 this month and she and Dad danced to this music lovingly for decades... I intend to play it at her Birthday celebration. Hopefully, some younger folks will appreciate what goodness we've given up in the search for equity...
I'm 46 & I love it. It started with me watching The Golden Girls, when I was a child. They Played " In The Mood" on an episode. Also Bea Arthur sang "what'll I Do " & that started my love for Irving Berlin. I started going to the library & checking out old albums 😊
As a young person (27) struggling to put food on the table for my daughter trust me, I appreciate what goodness we gave up for this so-called equity 🥲 I wish I could go back to a time before inflation and the housing market got so bad, maybe then I would have been able to give my daughter the life she deserves 💔 listening to this music gives me a glimpse of a time when people still had hope
Hello. I am 88 years old and grew up loving and dancing to the Glenn Miller Orchestra. Bring back the good old days of great music like Glenn Miller and all the Big Bands. Thanks for the memories.
My Mom and Dad danced to "Moonlight Serenade" at their fiftieth wedding anniversary celebration in 1990. A few years later, when I moved in to care for my Mom after Dad passed away, she and I danced to Glenn Miller every Saturday in the living room. When she was in a nursing home with dementia, which held her for at least fifteen years, we danced again to the tunes as we hummed, until she could no longer walk, or dance, or sing. What warm and wonderful memories Glenn Miller's music evokes! It will always lump my throat!
I'm sitting with my mom right now in her memory-care facility, playing Glenn Miller for her. She seems to enjoy it - she's nodding her head in time with the music. Not much gets through to her these days, but music still does.
I am 83 years and this is the music I still listen now, in Spain where I live, instead of watching all bad news on television. I start with country music at 7. am, and in the afternoon I listen these relaxing music of big bands of the 40. All this beauiful music is nice to listen.
If you don't already know of them may I suggest the group of people (young students) in Barcelona,called the Sant Andreu Jazz band taught by Joan Chamorro. Wonderful musicians playing the old and great standards we love. I'm an old guy too 79 yrs. Sooo...born in early 1944 l am lucky to have see and heard many phases of music thru the years to today. There is not one that doesn't electrify the moment when you re-hear it . Like now for example. Very emotional.
[Menchu] Can't tell you how much I love your post. It does sadden me though. As someone who lives in America, Washington State to be exact, to think how a corrupt America can effect even people in Spain is, well-- you know.
@brgilbert2 I'm with you! I'm in Tukwila, WA. And 67 this year. I long for living in a community that is set up as being back in time and listening to our old school music. I loved the 20s, 30s, 40s, and 50's too! I heard there is a town in the Midwest somewhere that is like that. Anyone know about it? ❤
Born in '65, I came to appreciate Glenn Miller after my tenure in the U.S. Navy, and learned that my maternal grandfather played trumpet in a band back home. After suffering a combat-related spinal cord injury, I spend quite a few weeks in the Veterans Hospital throught the year, and everyone loves when I play Captain Millers music.
My mom was born in 1926 so she was a 15 year old teenager in 1941 enjoying Glenn Miller. She passed in 1998 and left me her collection on Glenn Miller on vinyl.
Yeah, my mother was born in 1927 and just about everything out of her mouth had to do with Glenn Miller music. She was kind of a psycho but she had excellent taste in music.
Hi I am 82 years old and grew up with this fantastic band and it still sounds great. Let's hope it continues to be played on radio and web sites like TH-cam. Regards to all and stay safe. Brian.
Cuando tenía quince años, guardé una cuota del colegio para comprarme un cassette de Glenn Miller. Aunque mi generación escuchaba Otros géneros en los ‘80, yo amaba a esta banda y la sigo amando. mis saludos señor Bentley!
My first recollection of Glenn Miller and his Orchestra was a rainy evening. I was five, sitting in front bench seat of our car, between mom and dad. Dad had the radio tuned in to a station nearby as we drove into Los Angeles. I thought that the music was beautiful. It happened to be Moonlight Serenade. Back in those days patriotism was pretty high. It was the fifties and the future was bright and hopeful. This is how I first experienced the magic of Glenn Miller and his Orchestra. Somehow that music was a part of a larger picture in those days, summing up our love of life...
I’m 59 my GRANDPARENTS … When they meet both were Glenn Miller Fans…. My Grandfather had all of Glenn Millers 78 Albums…. They went and saw his Band When he Appeared in Los Angeles and other Great Big Bands When they appeared also…. BUT GLENN MILLER WAS IT OF COURSE MOONLIGHT SERENADE WAS THERE SONG …. I grew up listening and loving his music…. Both have passed away years ago, but when I hear The Great Glenn Miller Music…. I Think Of My Grandparents Dancing Close Together or Holding Hands Being Close Together Looking Into Each Others Eyes …❤❤❤❤…. IM SURE WHO EVER LOOKED AT THEM DURING THOSE SPECIAL MAGICAL MOMENTS KNEW THEY WERE IN LOVE ❤…… I HEAR THIS MUSIC AND IT BRINGS TEARS TO MY EYES I MISS THEM SO SO SO SO MUCH NO WORDS CAN CONVEY HOW MUCH I SURE THEY ARE DANCING BY THE STAR LITE SKY ALL NIGHT ….. LOVE YOU GRANDMA AND GRANDPA ❤❤❤❤😢😢😢😢😢
I am 69 and I miss my dad. This music makes me feel as if he were sitting right next to me. The love between a father and daughter lasts for eternity. I had the best Pop in the whole world. PINKIE MISSES YOU PA!
Only this past June, my last grandparent passed away at the age of 100..... she lived a good long life. I try to imagine her back when she was a nurse, and shipped off to Japan to help the boys in the Pacific Theater regain their strength. I imagine this would have been playing on the radio. I'll see you again, Gramma, I know it. I love you.
I'm 63. I've been listening to this for a very long time. In 6th grade we had to do an act. So, I got up and sang Chattanooga Choo Choo. Everybody was completely surprised. I'm no Tex B. at that age, but I did him proud. Now, I sing at nursing home, VA hospitals and such, singing all the great tunes. People love good music, and this is Classic Good Music.
My parents born in 1925 both lived through and romanced to this music and when my dad went to war and came back they married in 1947. They passed this on to 5 kids who will always recall them dancing and romancing to this music in our home. Fantastic music.
My mom was born in 1920 August 4 and my dad was born in 1923 March 30 they. got married in February 3 rd 1944 and then he went off to fight WW2 at twenty years old. Invasion of Ohmaha Beach at Normandy , France . The greatest generation for sure 🇺🇸👍🏼💕👏❤😎🎺🎸🇺🇸
I'm 61 but my mom was born in 1919 and my dad in 1921. They LOVED this music. Now I love it. Listen to Sirius XM Channel 71 - 40's Junction. It's the best. People who listened to this music in their 20's would now all be 100+ in years ♥
True. I remember seeing Sun Valley Serenade on TVas a little kid in maybe the late 50’s. What struck me was people swimming in heated outdoor pools in winter with snow all around. It was confusing. I didn’t know what the movie was until I saw it on TH-cam about ten years ago. At 60 I was just old enough to understand it barely.
I too am 92 and am also just now playing Glen Miiller. Absolutely Fab. Sitting in my bed where i routinely play music when retiring. Then onto Benny, Satchmo and others. My love to all other Music Lovers. Sydneyhglass😂
Am 52 yrs old, my beloved father is a swing jazz fan.. especially glen miller music when am kids, he always hold me in her arms while he sit in our family rooms while he playing his 12 inch technics with jvc amplifier and wharfedale speaker.. till i sleep in his arms... its a good memories from him.
I can close my eyes and see my mom and dad dancing in the living room to this music. I think the war was just over and everyone was just plain happy. Glenn had died over there but he definitely made his presence felt ever after. RIP Greatest Generation! You sure left your mark.
Verdade! Bem lembrado!!! Seus sucessos repercutiram por muito tempo após sua morte e fizeram muito sucesso na década de 1960!!! Glenn Miller morreu na Segunda Guerra Mundial! Um excelente músico, imolado nos reveses dessa guerra maldita!!! Tinha muita vida pela frente, era jovem !!!❤❤❤❤❤
I'm 63. Got into Glenn Miller playing his stuff in our high school dance band. I have eclectic tastes mostly rock but something about the big band greats keep winning out when I'm in a melancholy mood.
I loved Glenn Miller and his band. I’m 91 and a music major and it’s certainly refreshing to hear real tunes being sung and played instead of somebody blasting and belting their lungs out.
@marycheek: So you were very young during this time period of the beginning of WWII. Amazing that you were probably in your late teens when you first watched tv. Now you're watching TH-cam!
Good to hear musicians who can play . Not use a computer to bend notes out or strangle guitars, with incomprehensible songs that you wouldn't remember ten minutes later.
My mother was born in 1934 and my father in 1936, he died in 2021 when the Philomena passed through Madrid, Spain and the storm left us with a big snowfall.... I miss him a lot and this music reminds me of him
My granddaughter helped me with youtube and I am grateful...I was born in 1921 and need help with things like this. .hearing these songs again is more than lovely.I remember hearing these songs many many years ago. .

I'm glad to hear you enjoy music of any kind. My mom married a man that has discouraged music in her house, so she no longer enjoys music or anything much. She's pretty much his puppet at this point. She just sits and/or sleeps on her den sofa day after day, while he does as he pleases. You're fortunate to be able to listen to this music and so am I, for that matter. I love TH-cam! My dad has passed, but I like to think that he still listens to this kind of music through me. This was his favorite kind of music, and he listen to it every day. Bless his soul. He was very kind & loving to everyone. He was born a little after you. Best wishes to you and your granddaughter. I'm glad she helped you discover this fulfilling website.
My husband is not a music lover but I listen through my hearing aids on my iPad.😉 I grew up with music. My Grandma, Dad, sister and I played instruments. Music is good for the soul. I hope your Mom finds a way to enjoy music. God bless.

@@pat4brown Thank you so much, Pat. Well, as much as it pains me to say, my mom is unable to listen to music, so long as her husband is around. As I said, he discourages any music to be played or enjoyed. He has a very dark spirit and dominates anybody that will let him. Maybe, he'll pass away before her and somehow, she could be led back to enjoy music again. It's all in the Lord's hands, now. I trust he'll work things out. God bless you, too. ~James🛡
Yeah...!... I was 12, year 1944, World War ll, an uncle (my father's brother) was in the USArmy as Tech.Sergeant, the splendid music at the time, of Glenn Miller...!!!...I 'm listening right now (2022) 92 years of age, and I'm weeping...!!! It's so marvelous...!!!
My dad was in Germany in the US Army as a Tech Sgt. too in 1944. So many of my friends fathers served in either the European or Pacific theater too. This was definitely his music and he met my mom at a dance just after the war ended. I love the music too! Best to you.
I'm 15 and this the best stuff I listen to, now I have collected a lot of records: tommy dosiy, Glenn miller, welk, and so much more...… the 40's 50's, 60's are the best kind of music. that's my own opinion
Aye.....I never thought to listen myself until I was 15 and starting playing the alto saxophone. What an amazing instrument. I was making my own music up on a whim within 3 months I practiced so much. I suspect you may be musical yourself hence the appreciation. Consider picking up an instrument.
Same here. I'm 68 and just commented to my coworker about watching my parents dance, too! I thought it was kind of silly then, but now I truly appreciate what they shared with us.
Just turned 64. Mom and Dad danced and my dad taught me to dance to this music. I'm so lucky to have found someone who also enjoys dancing and lights up when In the Mood plays.
My Dad's all-time favorite band and bandleader during Dad's war years in WW2 1940-1945. He was a soldier in the U.S. Army serving in the Army Rangers, 2nd Battalion, Company F, and landed at Pointe du Hoc on Normandy Beach on D-Day, June 6, 1944 and fought the Nazis all the way across France into Germany by war's end in May 1945. He said Glenn Miller's music "got me through the ugly stuff I had to go through to get back home."
I AM FROM CUBA, AND THIS IS THE TIME TIME, WITH GLENN MILLER ORCHESTRA AND OTHER FAMOUS ORCHESTRAS. THE MOST MOST MOST WONDERFUL TIME, OF THE NORTH AMERICAN MUSIC . CONGRATULATIONS FOR THIS RECORD PROGRAMS OF NORTH AMERICAN MUSIC. C.P.PEREIRO
I’m 59 , I was born in 1963 . All the music in those days Motown rock & roll & others , i found Glenn Miller & other music in Glenn’s days is more beautiful sound you can ever hear love it 🥰 ❤🥰🎐🎷🎺
J'écoute très souvent Glen, et je n'oublie jamais les lendemains de date du D. Day, quand la Liberté fut grâce à tout nos alliés pays ayant subis tout autant sinon plus et en hommage à tout ceux et celles qui ce sont battu pour cette Liberté tant attendu 🙏😍❤️ merci encore, gratitude eternelle🙏❤️💜🗽☮️🕊️
When dad left the merchant marines after the war and came over, met my mom and brought his love of big band music with him, always remember my parents taking me to the Dorval airport on Friday night for the ballroom dancing...loved watching them glide across the floor...Am 57 now, they're both gone...but Glenn miller will always bring back those days like they were yesterday
young stooopid tasteless senseless and generally of no worth to me. Oh yeah, did I mention stooopid?. ................and there's too damn many of them.
Usually it has to do with the video itself, not the actual music. People might thumbs down because of the amount of ads, or because the audio quality is poor. This video doesn't seem to be any of those things, but thumbs down don't always mean a dislike of the music itself
Only 3 in 100 voted thumbs down. 97% approval is very high and hard to achieve. I have seen where they take the difference between approval and disapproval as a measure of popularity. I have never seen anyone get anywhere close to 94.
I’m 77 years old. MyDad had a big band, and I grew up listening to to this music. Some times, some ofthe musicians in his band would visit at our house. It was wonderful! My dad did some work for Glenn Miller, and he knew almost all the big band leaders.
I’m 71, grew up in Mumbai, then Bombay, and we loved Glen Miller. We would play his 45s and dance, mostly imitating moves from Hollywood films, which were also popular in the City. Every time I hear this music it transports me back to my glorious, fun-filled, teenage years. Timeless music, beautiful times.
When I was a child my stepfather played Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman and other big band music all the time. I couldn't stand the music - was into rock music. But the big band music I heard as a kid took root and blossomed in me when I became an adult. I love it and it truly is among the best music on earth!
I've loved this music ever since I could remember and taught it to our son he was a little heavy set back then boy did he shape up fast and loves this now with his wife. I'm 79 and love it more now than before
I was born in 1921 and had help from my granddaughter with youtube. .very grateful to have her help as these songs brought back memories from that time so long ago..
I'm 72. I remember coming home from a long Sunday drive, the rest of the family sound asleep. My dad driving and just the two of us listening to this music. Fond memories. I miss those days and my dad.😢
I grew up listening to this with my grandparents every Sunday after church. I could watch football with the sound all the way down. It was the best time of my life.
I'm 69, and my mom and dad shared the love of this music with me while growing up! I also loved Jimmy Stewart and June Allison bringing it to the silver screen. It's beauty and rhythm never grows old. Thank you! P. S. When I turned 16, my dad gifted me with a bottle of Shalimar and it made me feel so grownup! ❤
A few years ago I had a chance to get tickets to see the Glenn Miller Orchestra. My wife had to work that night, so I took my mother in law who grew up with this music and she absolutely loved it. I always heard my parents playing this music when I was growing up in the 60s, so I enjoyed the show too. They still play all of the original arrangements that they played when Glenn was still leading the band.
I wasn't born until 1949 but have always loved Glenn Miller and all the big band music. Reminds me so much of my parents and the Greatest Generation. My 17-year-old granddaughter likes this music too, they would be thrilled.
I am 54 . My parents listened and danced to this, so my youngest memories are filled with Glenn and Dorsey. Now I have my German shepherd listening to it.
Glenn Miller has always been my favorite, I really love the Glenn Miller story with Jimmy Stewart. I'm a baby boomer "53 model and am happy to have grow up with this age o REAL music.❤
Just sitting here listening to Glenn Miller's stuff. Trying to picture my Dad who served in the Navy, stuck in Iceland working as a radio relay operator from 1942 thru 1944. Miller apparently was top in the charts. Getting a feel of my Dads life at 20 years of age or so stuck in that lonely place. Was a completely different world then from today, just 80 years later. This was what he rocked out on, the American sound track of World War Two.
We took a trip to Chattanooga, Tennessee the summer of 2022. Of course, we went to the Chattanooga Station & ate at their local reztaurant! This New Englander loved it! 🎉
Hola amigos...... estoy muy emocionada con esta musica maravillosa!!! Tengo 70 años y mi papi que ya se fué, me enseñó a bailar con estas melodias ..... nunca encontré alguien a lo largo de mis años que bailara a Glenn Miller como mi querido papá. fuí hija única y veia a mis papas bailando estas hermosas melodias que me extaciaban.... que recuerdos tan lindos. Los extraño a los dos. Gracias por ésta música.
My parents were born in 1927 and 1931. Glenn Miller was their "go-to" music back in the day. Great music is always great music. The Big Band Era will never die (assuming someone in society still has good taste).
My parents were born in 1917 and 1926. When my sisters and I were growing up in the '60s we were only interested in the Beatles, the Stones, et al. But every once in a while my mother would assert control over the stereo and play Glenn Miller and prance around the living room in full swing. We just guffaw, we thought it was old fashioned music that only old people listened to. Now I love it!
I am 66 and love the big band music since the 60s before i knew what it was. Of course i like vaccume tubes hifi too. I can't be unhappy when listening to Glenn Miller. I felt panicky in the last 2 years of lock down though things in Singapore was not too bad. Because i felt the music i like, pre 1980 music, became obsolete, that people have forgotten and didn't want to listen to them anymore. But it's great hear them in public domain again!
I'm 37. Yesterday I found still sealed (and will remain sealed) cassettes of Glenn Miller, The Andrew Sisters, and The Sons of the Pioneers at a thrift store. My first time listening. Great music. All of it.
Classic music and hold onto those, GodsLoving, Gods BlessingsUponyou, an enjoy those big bands sounds I grew up with my parents dancing to those songs I love this , still am listening to his music, Glenn Miller an others of big band songs,♥️☝️♥️🕊♥️💝🙏🏼
@@yvonnegrijalva1047 Thank you for the kind words. I wish you blessings as well. Perfidia puts me in such a mellow state. It almost feels like I'm in a trancelike dream and I don't want to wake up 😌😌🙂🙂
I was born in 1943 and remember the great music of that era as I was growing up. As the years have gone by I am coming to appreciate this kind of music more and more. Thank God it is preserved digitally for the ages, and available online for the younger generations to hear what good popular sounded like when the Greatest Generation was defending our freedom in World War II. I love to read the favorable comments of those much younger than me--not only in America but from all over the world.
I love Swing music, I am 65, and kinda grew up with Swing even played it, it brings back cherished and also tragic memories, and it's made me a better person for realizing it's value in Our Countries History. Music is history, throughout all history....
Glenn Miller... music 🎶 will go on, a History indeed ♥️💃🏽🕺🎵never forgotten... my parents favorite music era and I learned to dance swing by my parents ♥️🙏🏼💝🙏🏼a gift He Was♥️Glenn Miller,💝🙏🏼♥️🙏🏼
I'm 42 and I have a couple Glen Miller 12" in my record collection. I only mention my age because there are quite a few folks in this thread who are much older than me, and I guess I just wanted them to know that their music hasn't been abandoned to the wastes of time yet! I always enjoyed the fact that most people have heard this music even without realizing it.
I'm 42 also, my friend✌️😁 I have a friend that's got a lot of Glenn Miller stuff in his record collection (lord knows where he got them from,lol) but anyway..that's why I'm here. I'm actually enjoying it, I love stuff like this. It must've been an interesting time back then, ya know?
I must have been about 7 years old when I first enjoyed the sound of Miller’s and Ray Connif music, today at 73 I find myself still whistling these marvelous tunes while doing the odd job.
My grandphather loved this music. As long as I can remember myself, we listened jazz and blues. Sometimes I think that is strange, because he lived in USSR, but he not just listened jazz, but also palyed this music. In the piano, drums and guitar. Already I am adult and now, also love to listen Glenn Miller or Benny Goodman. Unfortunately I can't play these melodies on the piano or other music musical instrument for my grandphather, but I turn on this or another videowith a good music, and he could remember his young years. More than one year, I lost him. And now, when I listen this music, remember my dear grandphather. Sometimes it's very difficult and even now, I'm writing this comment and cry.
I'm peruvian and a true lover of this music. I remember my parents dancing many songs of Glenn Miller's Orchestra at home. I'm a lover of this style of music. God bless you all and thanks Mr. Miller for bringing us your geniallity.
I'm 73 this year and my parents brought me up on Glen Miller, The Dorsey's, Benny Goodwin, Nat King Cole, all of them and I still love it. I branched our here and there, but I can still dance to this. I miss the good old days when gas was $.37, a candy bar was $.25, and the movies were $.50, pop corn a $.10. I miss Drive-ins, that was fun. I sure hope you're well and looking forward to the Holidays.
I can close my eyes and still remember watching my old Mum n Dad waltzing to these songs. Also, every Christmas time, (When I was younger) I remember sitting of an afternoon, with my Mum & watching The Glen Miller Story on TV, such a good film, with great music.... Such Good, Happy Memories 😁❤️
I grew up with this music - my folks played it on their Victrola and danced in the living room. Now my husband has collected all the Glenn Miller recordings on 78's and plays them for me.
So many memories. When I was growing up in the 1950's, my mother was playing Glenn Miller records all day as she did her housework and made dinner, while bring up three boys.
Greatest music of all time. Listened to big band music and singers many times at Chicago theatre. Cost me fifty cents to see movie, cartoons and stage show.
People today have no idea of his mass popularity in the 40s. For example, at that time, jukebox plays were measured and many jukes were loaded with only Miller music!!
I worked many wedding receptions at a Country Club in the 80's when I was in my twenties. Always live bands playing. Moonlight Serenade was a staple which I grew to love. Invariably the older guests would get up and dance. I'm now the age they were. Boy I wish we had that generation here still, I think they'd give America of today a swift kick in the ass.
I fell in love with Glenn Miller as a kid. I watched a movie where Jimmy Stewart played Glenn Miller. I was hooked on big band music. Many years later my grandmother and I were sitting around. I pulled out my CD collection. She told me " don't play any of your wild music." I popped in my Glenn Miller. Boy was she shocked. We sat around and listened to Glenn and the band. Was a wonderful memory. Brought back many memories for her too.
Brings back memories of my dad who loved Glen Miller and had the entire record collection! He would sing the songs to us too! My parents were born in 1927 and 1928 and I was born in 1963. This is almost a lost genre, but hopefully a new generation will fall in love with the big band sound. :)
My Dad too, we were 4 daughters and he would grab one of us now and again for a quick jig hahahahaha, such very fond memories, he listened to Glenn Miller every day, I know every note! He would also sing along or whistle right through. 15 years he's gone and not a day goes by that I don't think of and miss him. He was a loving, humble really good man. :)
I am 66 and my parents danced to this sound . I still love it because of the rhythm. The parents of this generation were among the group who said that rock and roll was Satanic. They loved you and cared but sometimes forgot what their parents thought of their sound. Music makes the world a great place. I thank God for the veterans in this era for protecting the world.
Glenn Miller was an extraordinarily gifted musical genius. His legacy and his music will live forever. When I was a teenager, my folks listened to all the big bands of the 1940s. Now, 50 years later, my appreciation for this kind of music is just as great as theirs's was then. I love it!
@gloriamarrs3273 well said....I am almost 80 years old and was raised on this music too. I grew up listening to my Mother's large record collection, plus the radio playing this sort of music. Still the best!
I was born in 1962, listening too this fabulous music reminds me of my grandparents. I can see them dancing too this right now in my imagination. Hers too you Grandma and Grandpa, I truly miss you!
I’m 67 years old and grew up in a neighborhood filled with WWII veterans who were my friends’ fathers. When there was a block party (in the early to mid 1960’s) all the Moms and Dads would bring out their big band music vinyl, and would blare it and dance to it all night long! None of us kids could believe OUR PARENTS could jitter-bug that much AT THEIR AGE!! (They were actually only in their late 30’s and early 40’s but to us, they were old Mom and Dad…..until we saw the jitterbug queens and kings!!). ❤❤❤
I still tear up whenever I think back on those memories. 😢
My dad graduated in 1945. Biggest big band lover there ever was. I know where you are coming from. It's actually good music.
Absolutely the best 😊
😊
Be greatful you lived though those times, i wish i could've
God bless them veterans Like my dad.
My family reunions at my grandmother's house three or four times a year weren't complete until my dad sat at the piano, Uncle George tuned up his sax and clarinet, Uncle Bernard pulled his guitar (my guitar now :) out of its case and I plugged in my bass. Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, the Dorsey brothers, Frank, Dean, Mel and the rest of the 'Great American Songbook' were the standards we played all night and into the next morning. I didn't realize back then the musical education I received. I also didn't realize what great times they were. They still make me smile when I reminisce.
Sounds fantastic!❤

I am 92, and played some of this music "way back when." Great stuff!
I love you !!! Glenn - is the best !!!
My grandpa would of been 92 today and loved this music xx
God bless you
John, I am a bit younger, (60) and I was introduced to Big Band, Swing, Opera and Classical, as a Child as well as music from the 50' and 60s (and more). I freakin ADORE Glenn Miller!!
Have you seen the story on the 17 year old , female Jazz Crooner? The best music is eternal!
@@sophobean p 0
I'm only 73, but "My Momma" turns 100 this month and she and Dad danced to this music lovingly for decades... I intend to play it at her Birthday celebration. Hopefully, some younger folks will appreciate what goodness we've given up in the search for equity...
I'm 46 & I love it. It started with me watching The Golden Girls, when I was a child.
They Played " In The Mood" on an episode.
Also Bea Arthur sang "what'll I Do " & that started my love for Irving Berlin.
I started going to the library & checking out old albums 😊

As a young person (27) struggling to put food on the table for my daughter trust me, I appreciate what goodness we gave up for this so-called equity 🥲 I wish I could go back to a time before inflation and the housing market got so bad, maybe then I would have been able to give my daughter the life she deserves 💔 listening to this music gives me a glimpse of a time when people still had hope
Bless you and your Mama...I'm only 76 but sure do love that old music
Hello. I am 88 years old and grew up loving and dancing to the Glenn Miller Orchestra. Bring back the good old days of great music like Glenn Miller and all the Big Bands. Thanks for the memories.
God bless.
Wow nice

My Mom and Dad danced to "Moonlight Serenade" at their fiftieth wedding anniversary celebration in 1990. A few years later, when I moved in to care for my Mom after Dad passed away, she and I danced to Glenn Miller every Saturday in the living room. When she was in a nursing home with dementia, which held her for at least fifteen years, we danced again to the tunes as we hummed, until she could no longer walk, or dance, or sing. What warm and wonderful memories Glenn Miller's music evokes! It will always lump my throat!
I'm 93 now and have loved GlennMiller for 84 years now. Hope my kids play Glenn for me as I fail away.Or, What a way toGo!!!!
I'm sitting with my mom right now in her memory-care facility, playing Glenn Miller for her. She seems to enjoy it - she's nodding her head in time with the music. Not much gets through to her these days, but music still does.
That was beautiful!
Moon light serenade is my favorite
I am 83 years and this is the music I still listen now, in Spain where I live, instead of watching all bad news on television. I start with country music at 7. am, and in the afternoon I listen these relaxing music of big bands of the 40. All this beauiful music is nice to listen.
🤗❤
If you don't already know of them may I suggest the group of people (young students) in Barcelona,called the Sant Andreu Jazz band taught by Joan Chamorro. Wonderful musicians playing the old and great standards we love. I'm an old guy too 79 yrs. Sooo...born in early 1944 l am lucky to have see and heard many phases of music thru the years to today. There is not one that doesn't electrify the moment when you re-hear it . Like now for example. Very emotional.
[Menchu] Can't tell you how much I love your post. It does sadden me though. As someone who lives in America, Washington State to be exact, to think how a corrupt America can effect even people in Spain is, well-- you know.
@brgilbert2 I'm with you! I'm in Tukwila, WA. And 67 this year. I long for living in a community that is set up as being back in time and listening to our old school music. I loved the 20s, 30s, 40s, and 50's too! I heard there is a town in the Midwest somewhere that is like that. Anyone know about it? ❤
Me recuerda a mis padres. GRACIAS!!
I'm 16 years old. And I love this music. It's so wonderful.
Good for you! Realizing the beauty of the past, and the value of the past will always be a beneficial way to think. It will bless you! ❤
Thank you for appreciating what we old people call good music. If there was only more like you, then this music would never fade away.
same here!
You have a good culture profile!

Born in '65, I came to appreciate Glenn Miller after my tenure in the U.S. Navy, and learned that my maternal grandfather played trumpet in a band back home. After suffering a combat-related spinal cord injury, I spend quite a few weeks in the Veterans Hospital throught the year, and everyone loves when I play Captain Millers music.
Your father's service is much appreciated. Many have said the same thing.
Glenn Miller was, and still is, a national icon. Great music.
My mom was born in 1926 so she was a 15 year old teenager in 1941 enjoying Glenn Miller. She passed in 1998 and left me her collection on Glenn Miller on vinyl.
That is so cool! Thank you!
What a treasure! Enjoy
Yeah, my mother was born in 1927 and just about everything out of her mouth had to do with Glenn Miller music. She was kind of a psycho but she had excellent taste in music.
Lucky you
Awesome! Glad you have it! I don't know what happened to my Dad's collection 😕
I'm 81, and I grew up with this music. My mom had a collection of Glenn Miller records, and we listened to them often when I was growing up.
I'm 86 and I still do!
Hi I am 82 years old and grew up with this fantastic band and it still sounds great. Let's hope it continues to be played on radio and web sites like TH-cam. Regards to all and stay safe. Brian.
Muy bien, a mí me motiva recordar algunas partes de este tipo de música en las caricaturas que lanzaron a la TV en un principio
Cuando tenía quince años, guardé una cuota del colegio para comprarme un cassette de Glenn Miller. Aunque mi generación escuchaba Otros géneros en los ‘80, yo amaba a esta banda y la sigo amando. mis saludos señor Bentley!
I agreewith you.i am or thé same génération i grew.up with that music
It s so beautifull
@@davidgarciamontoya3538 hi
Grande Glenn Miller uno de los mejores de todos los tiempos
My first recollection of Glenn Miller and his Orchestra was a rainy evening. I was five, sitting in front bench seat of our car, between mom and dad. Dad had the radio tuned in to a station nearby as we drove into Los Angeles. I thought that the music was beautiful. It happened to be Moonlight Serenade. Back in those days patriotism was pretty high. It was the fifties and the future was bright and hopeful. This is how I first experienced the magic of Glenn Miller and his Orchestra. Somehow that music was a part of a larger picture in those days, summing up our love of life...
Hi I'm 30 years old. I love Glenn Miller,and Artie Shaw. I can't get enough.
Listen to Sirius XM Channel 71!
I’m 59 my GRANDPARENTS … When they meet both were Glenn Miller Fans…. My Grandfather had all of Glenn Millers 78 Albums…. They went and saw his Band When he Appeared in Los Angeles and other Great Big Bands When they appeared also…. BUT GLENN MILLER WAS IT OF COURSE MOONLIGHT SERENADE WAS THERE SONG …. I grew up listening and loving his music…. Both have passed away years ago, but when I hear The Great Glenn Miller Music…. I Think Of My Grandparents Dancing Close Together or Holding Hands Being Close Together Looking Into Each Others Eyes …❤❤❤❤…. IM SURE WHO EVER LOOKED AT THEM DURING THOSE SPECIAL MAGICAL MOMENTS KNEW THEY WERE IN LOVE ❤…… I HEAR THIS MUSIC AND IT BRINGS TEARS TO MY EYES I MISS THEM SO SO SO SO MUCH NO WORDS CAN CONVEY HOW MUCH I SURE THEY ARE DANCING BY THE STAR LITE SKY ALL NIGHT ….. LOVE YOU GRANDMA AND GRANDPA ❤❤❤❤😢😢😢😢😢
I am 69 and I miss my dad. This music makes me feel as if he were sitting right next to me. The love between a father and daughter lasts for eternity. I had the best Pop in the whole world. PINKIE MISSES YOU PA!
Only this past June, my last grandparent passed away at the age of 100..... she lived a good long life. I try to imagine her back when she was a nurse, and shipped off to Japan to help the boys in the Pacific Theater regain their strength. I imagine this would have been playing on the radio. I'll see you again, Gramma, I know it. I love you.
I'm 63. I've been listening to this for a very long time. In 6th grade we had to do an act. So, I got up and sang Chattanooga Choo Choo. Everybody was completely surprised. I'm no Tex B. at that age, but I did him proud.
Now, I sing at nursing home, VA hospitals and such, singing all the great tunes.
People love good music, and this is Classic Good Music.
I am 73 and this music was/is always playing in our home. Reading all the comments from all over the world, music is the universal language. Enjoy!
My parents born in 1925 both lived through and romanced to this music and when my dad went to war and came back they married in 1947. They passed this on to 5 kids who will always recall them dancing and romancing to this music in our home. Fantastic music.
My mom was born in 1920 August 4 and my dad was born in 1923 March 30 they. got married in February 3 rd 1944 and then he went off to fight WW2 at twenty years old. Invasion of Ohmaha Beach at Normandy , France . The greatest generation for sure 🇺🇸👍🏼💕👏❤😎🎺🎸🇺🇸
Ah the good old days.
Muzyka mojego dziecinstwa ktora do dzisiaj nuce.
My parents were married 68 years and this was their music as well. They were always dancing to this music in our home as well.
I'm 61 but my mom was born in 1919 and my dad in 1921. They LOVED this music. Now I love it. Listen to Sirius XM Channel 71 - 40's Junction. It's the best. People who listened to this music in their 20's would now all be 100+ in years ♥
I'm 19 years old. And I love this music. It's so wonderful. In childhood I loved to watch Sun Valley Serenade.
Pt
True. I remember seeing Sun Valley Serenade on TVas a little kid in maybe the late 50’s. What struck me was people swimming in heated outdoor pools in winter with snow all around. It was confusing. I didn’t know what the movie was until I saw it on TH-cam about ten years ago. At 60 I was just old enough to understand it barely.
Well for your young age you certainly appreciate good music .
Ayo I’m 17, pretty excellent stuff innit
@@ritaroberts1265 dI'm 28 years+ I love Glenn Miller!!!
I too am 92 and am also just now playing Glen Miiller. Absolutely Fab. Sitting in my bed where i routinely play music when retiring. Then onto Benny, Satchmo and others. My love to all other Music Lovers. Sydneyhglass😂
Am 52 yrs old, my beloved father is a swing jazz fan.. especially glen miller music when am kids, he always hold me in her arms while he sit in our family rooms while he playing his 12 inch technics with jvc amplifier and wharfedale speaker.. till i sleep in his arms... its a good memories from him.
Thank God for music ¡
I am also 92 and enjoyed the music of Glen Miller as a teenager during WW2
I can close my eyes and see my mom and dad dancing in the living room to this music. I think the war was just over and everyone was just plain happy. Glenn had died over there but he definitely made his presence felt ever after. RIP Greatest Generation! You sure left your mark.
Verdade! Bem lembrado!!! Seus sucessos repercutiram por muito tempo após sua morte e fizeram muito sucesso na década de 1960!!! Glenn Miller morreu na Segunda Guerra Mundial! Um excelente músico, imolado nos reveses dessa guerra maldita!!! Tinha muita vida pela frente, era jovem !!!❤❤❤❤❤
The “Silent Generation” had such big hearts ❤️🧡💛
Have you ever seen "The Glenn Miller Story"? It's a wonderful movie with Jimmy Stewart and June Allison!!!
@@neusaferreira8860 cierto las guerras son lo peor! solo ganan los que las dirigen
Ever close I my eyes and see so ,why you mi mom and Dad
Nobody ever thought this music would be replaced. It’s so perfect the Big Band presentation with the vocal accompaniment.......
I'm 63. Got into Glenn Miller playing his stuff in our high school dance band. I have eclectic tastes mostly rock but something about the big band greats keep winning out when I'm in a melancholy mood.
I loved Glenn Miller and his band. I’m 91 and a music major and it’s certainly refreshing to hear real tunes being sung and played instead of somebody blasting and belting their lungs out.
Dear Mary, I am 76, living in small country (Croatia) and also I love Glenn Miller, it is may youth. Regards!
Hi Mary. Nice to know that you are still able to enjoy Glenn Miller. YES. THE..REAL TUNE. Best regards from down under
@marycheek: So you were very young during this time period of the beginning of WWII. Amazing that you were probably in your late teens when you first watched tv. Now you're watching TH-cam!
Good to hear musicians who can play . Not use a computer to bend notes out or strangle guitars, with incomprehensible songs that you wouldn't remember ten minutes later.
Dear Mary!How does your TRUMPET blow!Sweetly,I Hope!,XO ooo !😙😺!
My mother was born in 1934 and my father in 1936, he died in 2021 when the Philomena passed through Madrid, Spain and the storm left us with a big snowfall.... I miss him a lot and this music reminds me of him
My granddaughter helped me with youtube and I am grateful...I was born in 1921 and need help with things like this. .hearing these songs again is more than lovely.I remember hearing these songs many many years ago. .
I'm glad to hear you enjoy music of any kind. My mom married a man that has discouraged music in her house, so she no longer enjoys music or anything much. She's pretty much his puppet at this point. She just sits and/or sleeps on her den sofa day after day, while he does as he pleases. You're fortunate to be able to listen to this music and so am I, for that matter. I love TH-cam! My dad has passed, but I like to think that he still listens to this kind of music through me. This was his favorite kind of music, and he listen to it every day. Bless his soul. He was very kind & loving to everyone. He was born a little after you. Best wishes to you and your granddaughter. I'm glad she helped you discover this fulfilling website.
My husband is not a music lover but I listen through my hearing aids on my iPad.😉 I grew up with music. My Grandma, Dad, sister and I played instruments. Music is good for the soul. I hope your Mom finds a way to enjoy music. God bless.
@@pat4brown Thank you so much, Pat. Well, as much as it pains me to say, my mom is unable to listen to music, so long as her husband is around. As I said, he discourages any music to be played or enjoyed. He has a very dark spirit and dominates anybody that will let him. Maybe, he'll pass away before her and somehow, she could be led back to enjoy music again. It's all in the Lord's hands, now. I trust he'll work things out. God bless you, too. ~James🛡
For your mother and you.... many prayers to GOD in Heaven in JESUS name 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@LindaSlota-yx7mq If this is for me, thank you, Linda. I'm praying too. You're very kind.
Yeah...!... I was 12, year 1944, World War ll, an uncle (my father's brother) was in the USArmy as Tech.Sergeant, the splendid music at the time, of Glenn Miller...!!!...I 'm listening right now (2022) 92 years of age, and I'm weeping...!!! It's so marvelous...!!!
God bless old timer. I'm only 50 and I'm sharing with you.
Sir amen. My father played big band music all the time. Great music.
My mom stitting here with me listening with me. She was 13 years old that year and remembers vividly. Here’s to the you young 90s kids!
My dad was in Germany in the US Army as a Tech Sgt. too in 1944. So many of my friends fathers served in either the European or Pacific theater too. This was definitely his music and he met my mom at a dance just after the war ended. I love the music too! Best to you.

I'm 15 and this the best stuff I listen to, now I have collected a lot of records: tommy dosiy, Glenn miller, welk, and so much more...… the 40's 50's, 60's are the best kind of music. that's my own opinion
And what a great opinion, 🎤🎺🎷🎶🎵🎶
Aye.....I never thought to listen myself until I was 15 and starting playing the alto saxophone. What an amazing instrument. I was making my own music up on a whim within 3 months I practiced so much. I suspect you may be musical yourself hence the appreciation.
Consider picking up an instrument.
I'm 36 and grew up on this and still love it, glad to hear good music never dies...
@@Fuzzy-_-Logic i play piano
You’re RIGHT. 🤷🏻♀️👍🏼♥️
Well, I am 64 and remember watching my parents dancing around the house to this music. Best memory I had. And I love the music of that Era too.
Same here. I'm 68 and just commented to my coworker about watching my parents dance, too! I thought it was kind of silly then, but now I truly appreciate what they shared with us.
They were showing you that they loved each other and could still have fun together…..no fancy vacations or expensive toys make the best memories.
Just turned 64. Mom and Dad danced and my dad taught me to dance to this music. I'm so lucky to have found someone who also enjoys dancing and lights up when In the Mood plays.

My Dad's all-time favorite band and bandleader during Dad's war years in WW2 1940-1945. He was a soldier in the U.S. Army serving in the Army Rangers, 2nd Battalion, Company F, and landed at Pointe du Hoc on Normandy Beach on D-Day, June 6, 1944 and fought the Nazis all the way across France into Germany by war's end in May 1945. He said Glenn Miller's music "got me through the ugly stuff I had to go through to get back home."

When dad left the merchant marines after the war and came over, met my mom and brought his love of big band music with him, always remember my parents taking me to the Dorval airport on Friday night for the ballroom dancing...loved watching them glide across the floor...Am 57 now, they're both gone...but Glenn miller will always bring back those days like they were yesterday
How could anyone give Glenn Miller a thumbs down. They don't know what REAL music is.
some nuts I guess
young stooopid tasteless senseless and generally of no worth to me. Oh yeah, did I mention stooopid?. ................and there's too damn many of them.
Usually it has to do with the video itself, not the actual music. People might thumbs down because of the amount of ads, or because the audio quality is poor. This video doesn't seem to be any of those things, but thumbs down don't always mean a dislike of the music itself
Only 3 in 100 voted thumbs down. 97% approval is very high and hard to achieve. I have seen where they take the difference between approval and disapproval as a measure of popularity. I have never seen anyone get anywhere close to 94.
E Campbell video? All I get is sound!
I’m 77 years old. MyDad had a big band, and I grew up listening to to this music. Some times, some ofthe musicians in his band would visit at our house. It was wonderful! My dad did some work for Glenn Miller, and he knew almost all the big band leaders.
His band was “Tommy Blue” band with music for you, as played by Tommy Blue.
You’re truly blessed and enjoy those loving blessings and memories, ♥️🙏🏼
That is so special. How exciting that must have been for you.
I’m 71, grew up in Mumbai, then Bombay, and we loved Glen Miller. We would play his 45s and dance, mostly imitating moves from Hollywood films, which were also popular in the City. Every time I hear this music it transports me back to my glorious, fun-filled, teenage years. Timeless music, beautiful times.
They had record players back then??
@@jamesoppy8146 Yes, first the gramophone (mechanically wound), and later the record players.
Excellent take on an old Glenn Miller standard!!!!!!!
Ok
O
No certain age is needed to adore these tunes!! I'm 65. But discerning taste appreciate the awesomeness!! No matter one's age!!
When I was a child my stepfather played Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman and other big band music all the time. I couldn't stand the music - was into rock music. But the big band music I heard as a kid took root and blossomed in me when I became an adult. I love it and it truly is among the best music on earth!
I've loved this music ever since I could remember and taught it to our son he was a little heavy set back then boy did he shape up fast and loves this now with his wife. I'm 79 and love it more now than before
I was born in 1921 and had help from my granddaughter with youtube. .very grateful to have her help as these songs brought back memories from that time so long ago..
I'm 72. I remember coming home from a long Sunday drive, the rest of the family sound asleep. My dad driving and just the two of us listening to this music. Fond memories. I miss those days and my dad.😢
Bellos recuerdos!!!😢
I grew up listening to this with my grandparents every Sunday after church. I could watch football with the sound all the way down. It was the best time of my life.
This is music, not a lot of noise. I am 90 and I am always searching for music from the 40 and 50. Great listenng!
Hello I am also 90 and agree with you, there is no music Like the big bands especially like Glenn Millers music, these days.
I wish my Mom had been like you. But she thought swing was "old-fashioned"! My dad loved it though, luckily for me.
Totally up-beat, sentimental, & HAPPY ... why can't today's musicians meet this standard of excellence? This is 'Real' American music.
I'm 69, and my mom and dad shared the love of this music with me while growing up! I also loved Jimmy Stewart and June Allison bringing it to the silver screen. It's beauty and rhythm never grows old. Thank you! P. S. When I turned 16, my dad gifted me with a bottle of Shalimar and it made me feel so grownup! ❤
I'm a 52 year old soul who fell in love with this music as a child in the late '70s. Still love it. So evocative of better times.
Better times? Love the music yes, but better times. Coming out of the worst depression the world has ever experienced into a world war . . .
@@equals-kl9hm Yes, better times. The war years into the post-war boom.
me too. My dad and mom played this music all the time.

A few years ago I had a chance to get tickets to see the Glenn Miller Orchestra. My wife had to work that night, so I took my mother in law who grew up with this music and she absolutely loved it. I always heard my parents playing this music when I was growing up in the 60s, so I enjoyed the show too. They still play all of the original arrangements that they played when Glenn was still leading the band.
I am 67years old, I also grew up with all this beautiful music absolutely love listening to it it's just wonderful old music.❤♥️❤♥️
Well I am 52, an ex cornet & trumpet player.
Clearly Mr Glenn was a musical genius!
Wish bands still loudly & proudly played like these guys.....
I grew up with Maynard Ferguson, Herb Albert, Chuck Mangione, Doc Severinsen, Pete Fountain, just a few that really jammed.
Well people also appreciated music back then too.
I wasn't born until 1949 but have always loved Glenn Miller and all the big band music. Reminds me so much of my parents and the Greatest Generation. My 17-year-old granddaughter likes this music too, they would be thrilled.
I am 54 . My parents listened and danced to this, so my youngest memories are filled with Glenn and Dorsey. Now I have my German shepherd listening to it.
J'ai 72 ans et je me régale toujours! Un grand merci! !
Glenn Miller has always been my favorite, I really love the Glenn Miller story with Jimmy Stewart. I'm a baby boomer "53 model and am happy to have grow up with this age o REAL music.❤
I’m 15 years old. Glenn Miller and Russ Morgan are some of my favorites composers!
I am very happy to see teenagers posting here that they love Glenn Miller's music!
In heaven, they play Glenn Miller's music!
My folks and their friends are surely dancing in heaven while I dance in my living room. Their music always lifts my spirits. ❣️
Just sitting here listening to Glenn Miller's stuff. Trying to picture my Dad who served in the Navy, stuck in Iceland working as a radio relay operator from 1942 thru 1944. Miller apparently was top in the charts. Getting a feel of my Dads life at 20 years of age or so stuck in that lonely place. Was a completely different world then from today, just 80 years later. This was what he rocked out on, the American sound track of World War Two.
We took a trip to Chattanooga, Tennessee the summer of 2022.
Of course, we went to the Chattanooga Station & ate at their local reztaurant!
This New Englander loved it! 🎉
Hola amigos...... estoy muy emocionada con esta musica maravillosa!!! Tengo 70 años y mi papi que ya se fué, me enseñó a bailar con estas melodias ..... nunca encontré alguien a lo largo de mis años que bailara a Glenn Miller como mi querido papá. fuí hija única y veia a mis papas bailando estas hermosas melodias que me extaciaban.... que recuerdos tan lindos. Los extraño a los dos. Gracias por ésta música.
My parents were born in 1927 and 1931. Glenn Miller was their "go-to" music back in the day. Great music is always great music. The Big Band Era will never die (assuming someone in society still has good taste).
You are definitely correct about the Big Band era never dying.
My parents were born in 1917 and 1926. When my sisters and I were growing up in the '60s we were only interested in the Beatles, the Stones, et al. But every once in a while my mother would assert control over the stereo and play Glenn Miller and prance around the living room in full swing. We just guffaw, we thought it was old fashioned music that only old people listened to. Now I love it!
I believe you are right about the enduring quality of the Miller sound.
@@andrewbird57 It was a special era, and the music will keep on communicating.
Absolutetly!!!
I am 66 and love the big band music since the 60s before i knew what it was. Of course i like vaccume tubes hifi too.
I can't be unhappy when listening to Glenn Miller. I felt panicky in the last 2 years of lock down though things in Singapore was not too bad. Because i felt the music i like, pre 1980 music, became obsolete, that people have forgotten and didn't want to listen to them anymore. But it's great hear them in public domain again!
I'm 37. Yesterday I found still sealed (and will remain sealed) cassettes of Glenn Miller, The Andrew Sisters, and The Sons of the Pioneers at a thrift store. My first time listening. Great music. All of it.
Classic music and hold onto those, GodsLoving, Gods BlessingsUponyou, an enjoy those big bands sounds I grew up with my parents dancing to those songs I love this , still am listening to his music, Glenn Miller an others of big band songs,♥️☝️♥️🕊♥️💝🙏🏼

I was born in 1943 and remember the great music of that era as I was growing up. As the years have gone by I am coming to appreciate this kind of music more and more. Thank God it is preserved digitally for the ages, and available online for the younger generations to hear what good popular sounded like when the Greatest Generation was defending our freedom in World War II. I love to read the favorable comments of those much younger than me--not only in America but from all over the world.

I'm 42 and I have a couple Glen Miller 12" in my record collection. I only mention my age because there are quite a few folks in this thread who are much older than me, and I guess I just wanted them to know that their music hasn't been abandoned to the wastes of time yet! I always enjoyed the fact that most people have heard this music even without realizing it.
I'm 42 also, my friend✌️😁
I have a friend that's got a lot of Glenn Miller stuff in his record collection (lord knows where he got them from,lol) but anyway..that's why I'm here. I'm actually enjoying it, I love stuff like this. It must've been an interesting time back then, ya know?

I must have been about 7 years old when I first enjoyed the sound of Miller’s and Ray Connif music, today at 73 I find myself still whistling these marvelous tunes while doing the odd job.
At 68 yrs old you blokes make me feel young. Love these tunes too. Good music is ageless 😀
My grandphather loved this music. As long as I can remember myself, we listened jazz and blues. Sometimes I think that is strange, because he lived in USSR, but he not just listened jazz, but also palyed this music. In the piano, drums and guitar. Already I am adult and now, also love to listen Glenn Miller or Benny Goodman. Unfortunately I can't play these melodies on the piano or other music musical instrument for my grandphather, but I turn on this or another videowith a good music, and he could remember his young years. More than one year, I lost him. And now, when I listen this music, remember my dear grandphather. Sometimes it's very difficult and even now, I'm writing this comment and cry.
I'm peruvian and a true lover of this music. I remember my parents dancing many songs of Glenn Miller's Orchestra at home. I'm a lover of this style of music. God bless you all and thanks Mr. Miller for bringing us your geniallity.
I'm 73 this year and my parents brought me up on Glen Miller, The Dorsey's, Benny Goodwin, Nat King Cole, all of them and I still love it. I branched our here and there, but I can still dance to this. I miss the good old days when gas was $.37, a candy bar was $.25, and the movies were $.50, pop corn a $.10. I miss Drive-ins, that was fun. I sure hope you're well and looking forward to the Holidays.
I can close my eyes and still remember watching my old Mum n Dad waltzing to these songs.
Also, every Christmas time, (When I was younger) I remember sitting of an afternoon, with my Mum & watching The Glen Miller Story on TV, such a good film, with great music....
Such Good, Happy Memories 😁❤️
I grew up with this music - my folks played it on their Victrola and danced in the living room. Now my husband has collected all the Glenn Miller recordings on 78's and plays them for me.
I’m 62 and love this music! Real music! My parents use to have these albums. It takes
Me back to simple times. ❤❤
Glenn Miller has always been my dad's favorite band. He is 83. Thought I would give it a listen. I recognize a lot of these songs.

So many memories. When I was growing up in the 1950's, my mother was playing Glenn Miller records all day as she did her housework and made dinner, while bring up three boys.
Glenn Miller was a great arranger and conductor of Big Band Music. He was pure gold in the 40's.
Still is to this day
@@quadwilliams8878 Я рыдаю !!!
Greatest music of all time. Listened to big band music and singers many times at Chicago theatre. Cost me fifty cents to see movie, cartoons and stage show.
People today have no idea of his mass popularity in the 40s. For example, at that time, jukebox plays were measured and many jukes were loaded with only Miller music!!
Yo Randy
Your so right.
Good taste, dude
I worked many wedding receptions at a Country Club in the 80's when I was in my twenties. Always live bands playing. Moonlight Serenade was a staple which I grew to love. Invariably the older guests would get up and dance. I'm now the age they were. Boy I wish we had that generation here still, I think they'd give America of today a swift kick in the ass.
I fell in love with Glenn Miller as a kid. I watched a movie where Jimmy Stewart played Glenn Miller. I was hooked on big band music. Many years later my grandmother and I were sitting around. I pulled out my CD collection. She told me " don't play any of your wild music." I popped in my Glenn Miller. Boy was she shocked. We sat around and listened to Glenn and the band. Was a wonderful memory. Brought back many memories for her too.
I'm 52 and I've always been in love with this kind of music. Good things are never out of fashion!!
A Glenn Miller fan since I was 15, in 1966. Still sets my toe tapping, no matter what mood I'm in!
I am 44 but this is awesome. I actually discovered this on xm radio. Been listening to 40’s junction station. Guess I’m an old soul.
He is my absolute favorite musician of all time! His music will never go out of style.
Live in Michigan, so one of my favorites is "I Got A Gal in Kalamazoo."
I'm 58 and have always loved this. It's not about age. It's about appreciating great music when you hear it.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Exactamente, se trata de disfrutar de esta musica
Brings back memories of my dad who loved Glen Miller and had the entire record collection! He would sing the songs to us too! My parents were born in 1927 and 1928 and I was born in 1963. This is almost a lost genre, but hopefully a new generation will fall in love with the big band sound. :)
My Dad too, we were 4 daughters and he would grab one of us now and again for a quick jig hahahahaha, such very fond memories, he listened to Glenn Miller every day, I know every note! He would also sing along or whistle right through. 15 years he's gone and not a day goes by that I don't think of and miss him. He was a loving, humble really good man. :)
I am 66 and my parents danced to this sound . I still love it because of the rhythm. The parents of this generation were among the group who said that rock and roll was Satanic. They loved you and cared but sometimes forgot what their parents thought of their sound. Music makes the world a great place. I thank God for the veterans in this era for protecting the world.
Glenn miller sure can play that instament along with his band.great songs
Glenn Miller was an extraordinarily gifted musical genius. His legacy and his music will live forever. When I was a teenager, my folks listened to all the big bands of the 1940s. Now, 50 years later, my appreciation for this kind of music is just as great as theirs's was then. I love it!
In loving memory of my father Ken,who past 4yrs today. 🕯This is for you Dad 🎶🎙🎺🎷🎶
My parents always listened to the Big bands orf that era.....So I grew up listening ,and enjoying the sounds. I'm 80 now and still enjoy the sounds.
I'm 90, and agree that this music was best!

@gloriamarrs3273 well said....I am almost 80 years old and was raised on this music too. I grew up listening to my Mother's large record collection, plus the radio playing this sort of music. Still the best!
