Wow, really cool. Born in early 20's like my parents and he's still around. Great post, I'm reading about him now. Thanks for the interesting historical trivia, I love it. Such great music from a long lost bygone era. The sad truth is musical art in American society has deteriorated so pathetically that the likes of rap and hip hop dominate the American musical culture. The simple turth is that it took so much more hard work, talent, and discipline to write, arrange, and perform this music than it does today for some rapper in baggy pants to prance around a stage speaking rythmically and making billions off misguided and brainwashed Americans that have never been exposed to what great musical art really is.

Ray Anthony is not in this recording. This is not Miller's band playing. Its' a band made up of session players called The Serious Dance band.

We were fortunate enough to hear the Glenn Miller Orchestra in Dallas two weeks ago. The orchestra has been touring non-stop for 80 years! At this performance, there was a 100 year old lady in a wheelchair who got up and danced along to the orchestra. The really amazing part: in 1942, this same woman danced in front of the REAL Glenn Miller and his orchestra in Norman, OK where they were performing. We will never see anything like that again. When she was 20, how could she have ever known that 80 years later she’d be dancing to this orchestra again?

Glenn Miller is one of the leaders of swing music, possible the greatest. Among his tunes is this one, In The Mood. It might be in some ways the greatest tune of all. Glenn wrote it and among his prestigious group he's playing the trombone. Last time I heard him he was alive and still playing. He definitely is the greatest trombone player. To say he's a legend is an understatement. This tune is serenity and flows like a peaceful mountain stream.

One of the greatest songs of all time. It really represents the time it was written and the brilliance of Glenn Miller.

Yes - written by Joe Garland, based on Tar Paper Stomp by Wingy Manone (1930). The original version was ~6 minutes long and no one could figure out how to cut it to fit on a standard 78. That arrangement was bought and sold multiple times, eventually ending up with Artie Shaw who performed it once on a broadcast. He sold it to Miller who DID know what to cut and what tempi to change ... and the rest was history.

Cool! What does your daughter think of Glenn Miller? I am around your daughter’s age, and I enjoy this too.

When I went to college in the mid-70's, we had a marching band who would play songs in the stands during football games. This was my most favorite song that they would play, although I had no idea what it was. It wasn't until I went home and told my mother about it and "la la'd" a bit of the melody to her that she said, "Oh, that's In The Mood!". It's a timeless song and each generation enjoys hearing it.

My parents were huge Glenn Miller fans. They still had his records in the 70s and 80s.

Back when people had class, and integrity, and were fun loving!!😊😊

Our mum adored Glenn Miller's music, all the "big band" stuff really, but mostly Glenn Miller. All our lives it was playing in the background when she was doing the housework, or her dressmaking, so me and my brother heard it ALL the time. Last year we played it at her funeral, it will never sound the same again. Miss you mum, maybe dad will learn to dance with you up there.

A number of years ago, I attended an outdoor concert. String of Pearls was being played and an elderly couple got up and danced in the aisle. They did a good job and afterwards I commented on their expertise. They thanked me and said that every time they hear that piece of music, they get up and dance. It was their song. Good memory.

Real classy times!!!

This is music,not the crap of today.

My late father in Malaysia loved the Glenn Miller band. For years, he would play this song for many parties, and we would happily dance along. RIP Acha.

I have played trumpet in a big band since 1980 and our charity performances at senior citizens and nursing homes has gone from the old folks there recognizing all of the 40's big band hits until the past couple of decades where the only song they recognize is "In the Mood".

I grew up in my grandparent house hearing this beautiful music. Would love to be able to transport myself back in time.

I'm sixty two now. My late father was a merchant seaman, he brought hundreds of 78's home from America. We were brought up with the big dance bands and early American R+R. When he and my mother were married, his first purchase was a 50's Garrard record player. It's still in working order and sounds fantastic. Give me the big band sound anyday.

This song is a tribute to my father that I lost recently, he was a great fan and it will always remind me of him... Excellent music of all times!

Class never goes out style... 👏👏

My dearest Mum.. she adored Glenn's music..gosh I miss you Mum...xxxx

Born in the 50's but love big band music from the 40's.❤

Love this. I woke up to this a many Saturday mornings growing up in the 80s in Williamston, NC. I thank my mom for teaching me the value of listening to all kinds of music. Rest in peace and Merry Christmas Ma. 😔🙏

Same here. Swing Music is alive and kicking.

I loved this video of Glen Miller ❤ I have pictures of my Mother dancing at a concert in Detroit Michigan they brought her up on the stage . She was so beautiful.

Best song ever 😍 I'm 11 but I love old songs ❤❤

I remember my grandma telling me that this was her brothers favorite song to listen and dance to. He passed away when he was ran over by a car. And worst part was… it was the year I was born in. Every day I listen to this, I think and dream about him.

Talent plus generosity = art masterpiece!

Glen Miller is one of the best 1 in history that hit the Billboard top 100 chart 15 times in 1 year a record down never be broken that makes Glen Miller 1 of the best of all time

I'm 78yo and love the music before my time , 1930s 40s 50s and my era 60s old time rock n roll. I play many of the oldies from those eras on the guitar.

In a manner of speaking, it was our music, too. Television brought the movies of the 30s and 40s to us and exposed us to this wonderful swing music. Then the videos in the 80s brought another generation along for the ride. Rock that Swing here on KZread has this younger generation dancing to swing music. I love it.

Choreogrqphy of the band is marvellous. Makes them part of the dance scene too. Love this song 💃🎶💗🌵

He's still in the English channel somewhere. Undiscovered but not forgotten. Hang on, Glenn! We're coming back for ya! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Without a doubt one of the greatest songs of all time!

Genius....glad I went to his museum in Vegas...1 of a kind...never see anyone like him again

Young in 41 but still love this big band

I’m 57 years old I just love this time the music was so real the women were gorgeous and it makes wish I lived during this time v

How can anyone listen to this and not want to get up and dance?

This song never sounded so good. The greatest music ever made

Im 75 and love this music thanks

My dad was born in 1935 in Puebla México. He was the one that introduced me to Big Band music. Glenn Miller and Benny Goodman are his favorites. Greetings from Brooklyn New York. 8-1-23.

My parents are from Mexico too. However, they never introduced me to that music, as they were born much later. My mom’s parents were born right at the start of Bebop, but my dad’s parents were born right before the Swing era. I was never introduced via my grandparents, but I had an elderly neighbor (unfortunately, I think she died). During the beginning of COVID-19, I would hear her play this song so loud that I was able to hear it in my apartment room. I had asked my dad what that song was, and he told me to try to look at Glenn Miller. I didn’t start listening to Jazz until this year. I never told my parents I like this kind of music because I am sure they will think I am a weirdo. Anyway, it’s cool to see my fellow Mexican homies listening to Jazz.

I get chills when I hear this! Timeless!

Simple music can make you sing, a simple hug can make you feel, better, simple things can make you happy, I hope my simple hello will put a smile on your face.. Hello!!! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you're a fan ? Have a great day.. Stay Safe

I swear, I must have had a past life where I lived my twenties in this era. Whenever I hear this song I feel like I could kick down a door with excitement.

My grandmother love this song 😻😻😻 when i'm little shes always tune in this on radio and dance hehe i remember this music😻😻😻

Give her a hug for me! I grew up with this music and have always loved the energy! My parents both played instruments and my dad played with Benny Goodman a couple of times and was blessed to see and meet Glenn Miller! Wow! This music and jitterbugging need to come back! Dancing makes you happy!
