Recently watched, "The Glenn Miller Story" with Jimmy Stewart. GREAT MOVIE!!

one of the prettiest songs of all time ever

These are classics! I think my very favorite song, of his and ever, would be "Moonlight Cocktails."

I can't imagine what it must have been like to be a fan of his in the 40's and then hear he was shot down by the Japanese in World War II. Did they ever find his body? There are a few conspiracy theories about the whole ordeal. Sad really. But who knows, maybe the truth just isn't as interesting or sensational. At least his music lives on. THANKS for posting!

fuck me, this is most certainly the first Glenn Miller thread I've seen on the org love dat shit since early childhood! props 2 you jon1967

I was jamming to him last night. He's got a really hot version of "It Don't Mean A Thing If It Ain't Got That Swing". I was trying to find it on YouTube and couldn't find the exact one I wanted, but if I find it I'll post it.

Glenn's plane actually went down in the English Channel.

I've got Glenn on a few CDs of music from that era. I hum or sing Little Brown Jug, Chatanooga Choo-Choo and (I've Got a Gal In ) Kalamazoo all the time, but his rendition of Serenade in Blue is probably my favorite of his.

My parents used to listen to all kinds of this music. I remember it from my childhood. These guys were amazing musicians. I would love to see this genre make a comeback.
