One wonders how it was legally possible for there to be at least three melodies simply entitled "Maybe" during this period . The gloriously majestic Gershwin would be the pick . A third version is performed by the Ink Spots .
Just got this one. I love "sweet swing". I guess Miller didn't have a patent on the sound, but I don't think he felt threatened by 1940! He was way on top by then.
Yes, indeed. In '38, TD loaned old friend and former Dorsey Bros. trombonist and arranger GM money to launch his new band. GM accepted the money on those terms, but TD (anticipating his shrewd dealings with Sinatra) believed the loan to be an investment, which would entitle him to a share of the GM band's profits. When GM refused (rightfully, I think) to play ball, TD got even by sponsoring the Bob Chester band, even hiring arrangers to copy GM's sound, which had proven enormously successful.
wow!
love Bob Chester and Delores O'Neil

This was the Ink Spots song (see the written description).

I love this band gives me a chance to hear what miller did not record and the female vocalist was much better then out of tune Marion Hutton.
Wasn't Chester poor man's Miller band? .. Had a few good songs but of course not Glenn Miller
