⏰ Tracklist & Timestamps
Number 6 is NOT String of Pearls.
00:00 – In the Mood (1939)
A toe-tapping swing anthem and Glenn Miller’s signature hit — pure big band magic.

03:33 – Moonlight Serenade (1939)
Romantic, dreamy, and timeless — Miller’s lush instrumental ballad that became a symbol of wartime love.

07:38 – Chattanooga Choo Choo (1941)
A jubilant, jazz-infused train ride featuring Tex Beneke and The Modernaires.

11:18 – American Patrol (1942)
Patriotic and punchy, this military-style arrangement keeps the energy high.
I was going to say Glenn Miller looks a lot like Jimmy Stewart
14:31 – Little Brown Jug (1939)
Lighthearted and upbeat, a perfect dance floor filler with big band charm.
O tipo de música que põe um sorriso no rosto 😊
17:40 – String of Pearls (1941)
Smooth and elegant — a jazzy stroll through Miller’s polished orchestration.
I love Glenn Miller. My dad got me into him at a very young age. When I in my middle school band we played a few of his songs. It was just awesome and my dad was delighted. I always feel calmed listening to his music.
21:01 – Tuxedo Junction (1940)
A sultry, slower swing standard that oozes cool from every brass section.
Every year in early summer I always want to listen to Glenn Miller.
24:38 – Pennsylvania 6-5000 (1940)
Named after a real telephone number, this track’s rhythmic horns became iconic.
DVDを 買って よく視聴してました
バリ島ウブドのフランス料理店で ピアノの方に ムーンライトセレネードを リクエストしたのを 思い出します
27:29 – At Last (1941)
A soulful, romantic tune that later became a standard, first arranged by Miller.
Lovely ! tfs, I've Subbed : ) Thank-you
30:45 – Kalamazoo (1942)
Catchy, cheeky, and a hit with fans — another standout with The Modernaires.
I'm a fan of the swing genre of Jazz circa 1930's - 1940's. Whilst Millers music was very popular, it represented the commercial side of the industry, rather than what most of the kids were dancing to at the time (a bit like what you would see on Top of the Pops, rather than what you would dance to in the clubs). Sadly, it also seems that Miller himself was a womaniser and not the clean cut image portrayed by Stewart in the movie.
34:11 – A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square (1940)
A gentle, nostalgic ballad brimming with wartime sentiment.
i feel so young.
37:50 – I've Got a Gal in Kalamazoo (1942)
Snappy and playful — another wartime hit with toe-tapping charm.
Man ts hip as helck
41:04 – Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree (1942)
A vocal gem filled with longing and joy — perfect for dancing with your sweetheart.
Your chapters are mislabeled. They are out of order from what's really playing, starting I believe, with Don't Sit under the Apple Tree. Just for your information. I do hope you're able to correct it. I love this lineup of music. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you
44:33 – Sunrise Serenade (1939)
A mellow, elegant tune paired often with "Moonlight Serenade" — perfect symmetry.
❤❤❤❤
48:09 – Perfidia (1941)
A hauntingly beautiful Latin-tinged instrumental showing Miller’s range.
Attorney MILLER TAL😢 TO GLEN SANDERS RIGHT LAUGHING LAUGHING LAUGHING LAUGHING DEMONS RIGHT
51:42 – The Nearness of You (1940)
A tender vocal ballad — soft, subtle, and emotionally resonant.
C'è un passato che non passa...
54:50 – Juke Box Saturday Night (1942)
A lively, humorous snapshot of youth and music culture in WWII America.
I was born to late!!😅

🎧 Why This Playlist?
Gracias gran musica la de glenn Miller
This Glenn Miller playlist is perfect for:
• Relaxing with vintage music
Вор музыки, делец. Он зарабатывал на присваивании музыки черных музыкантов. Помер ворюга и хорошо, плохо что его считают композитором
• WWII-themed events or film settings
• Studying, reading, or background ambiance
My father was just a teenager when he set foot on Omaha Beach. This was his music and I grew up with it. It shaped my musical tastes for life. While I grew up with rock all around I was very picky about what I chose to listen to. It had to be truly "musical" . I enjoyed the big band and what my friends called "old fashioned music" of the big band singers. Bobby Darin, Mel Torme. Frank Sinatra, Louis Armstrong. Nat King Cole, Dean Martin. I don't regret a minute of it. It opened up an appreciation for music on a level that many never understand.
You hear that up there Dad? Thanks for that.
• Lovers of 1940s swing and jazz nostalgia
• Big band dance halls and retro parties
IMO they couldn't have gotten a more talented actor and gentleman to play Mr. Miller. Mr. Stewart was the greatest 110% as he was on ever movie he ever made. He was just as comfortable in a three piece tux as he was on the back of a horse. He made you believe he was the character he was portraying. I believe one of his best movies was Miracle on 34th Street.
• Jazz history enthusiasts and collectors
Every song is handpicked for top audio quality, historical relevance, and timeless appeal. Whether you’re a vinyl collector, jazz student, or new to Glenn Miller, this playlist brings the best of Glenn Miller directly to your ears.
Ich glaube, wäre Glenn Miller nicht im Flugzeug "abgestürzt worden", er hätte noch so einige gute Sachen rausgebracht...❗🥰👌

Going to see Glenn Miller Orchestra on April 19th in honor of my dad so I came here to familiarize myself. We had to listen to him every Sunday on the way to church. We begged for KC Kasem top 40 but Glenn won more times than not. 😂

@LydiaDonato-u7wI think that Tex Beneke deserves some credit for keeping the band together and honoring Miller's memory.
@paulpuckett1320Awesome music.
@idread1104I grew up listening to this & Italian music. I have a lot of beautiful memories of my mom making sauce on Sunday mornings while listening to the AM radio station that played Italian music from 7-11. I miss those days. I miss my mom more. She passed almost 2 years ago & I miss her terribly.
@marylaplaca35Toda vez que escuto sinto vontade de chorar algo inexplicável . Uma saldade de algo que não vivi pois não tenho idade suficiente.
@niltonguedes9452I wonder if he was sweating?
@Rusty-HingeEvery time I play it, it's great.
@libertylady1952When I hear these songs I think of my mother and father dancing. Each day I thank them for giving me the music that I grew up listening too. And yes I loved to dance to this music.
