Glenn Miller - Chattanooga Choo Choo - Sun Valley Serenade (1941) HQ

[229kara]

Love this classy music so much and it was before my time, but wish I grew up in that time period to actually feel what it was like to have wonderful classy music that all liked that all were talented and also that the styles in clothing was so unique.

[davidjgenti]

ძაან ვისიამოვნე,bravooo

[sweetfly66]

For the record ... all of you complaining about " todays music " ... Glenn Miller would tell you to shut up and open your eyes , ears , and minds .... I`m sure Miller had his traditional detractors as do all new artists or popular artists of any era .

[idevaldes]

nao se faz nada mais hoje em dia como antigamente. muito lindo!!

[user98xp]

Those guys in heels can really dance.

[ohiostatefan2002]

I love the part from 4:24 to 4:58

[sweetfly66]

As much as I love this music I am so tired of people complaining about " todays music " and the lack of talent of " todays musicians and performers " ... the truth is , today`s musicians have more facility and are better trained than in any other era . The competition today is fierce ..everyone can play , and not just one style ... everyone can play ANYTHING ... every era has its good and bad ... grow up and open your minds

[BlazeetSKANK]

@sweetfly66 you don't get the point, today's music is mostly computer made noises and digitally edited voices.These people do have talent, REAL music, that they played with their own hands

[sweetfly66]

@BlazeetSKANK ... I get the point . You are closed minded . That is the point . And I dont know what you listen to but the majority of music is not computer generated . Are there computer generated auto tune train wreck types of music ..of course there are ...but there are great rock bands , great jazz bands , great soul bands around today .... for example ... Arctic Monkeys , great rock band ... Kneebody , great jazz band ... Mayor Hawthorne , great soul ... open your eyes and ears man

[BlazeetSKANK]

@sweetfly66 You don't know me so you have no right to day i am close minded.I stated the facts, go listen to the new music, and stop bashing us for thinking its complete crap.

[BlazeetSKANK]

@BlazeetSKANK no right to say*, typo.

[sweetfly66]

@BlazeetSKANK ... since when is an opinion about art or music considered factual .... you dont think its a bit closed minded and ignorant to declare all new music as crap ? ... did you bother to check out any of the new artists i mentioned ?

[BlazeetSKANK]

@sweetfly66 The facts were that they use computers noises and digital editing instead of actually using an instrument. It would be close minded to judge without listening to it. We've listened, and thought it was crap.

[229kara]

@sweetfly66 I agree. There are good and bad music with ever era. I like the older versions. It is different today when they pick someone to promote. Today form my music friends who are in that business they all say to make it big today you need to have looks, because looks sell first compared to way back when there was no TV only radio talent had to be number 1,but today its the whole package.

[229kara]

@229kara There are good singers today I will grant you that in all fields, but there are also alot that can not sing all that well...More and more as each year goes by they tend to rely on computer generated voices. You might not sing well so you sing into the mic they play with your voice to get it where they want it and out comes the perfect you although its not really you.I like some of every era. They all had something good to give to the public.

[229kara]

@229kara No matter what preference one might have for song types. To be a A good singer/group they have to touch ones heart and mind in a way that makes one feel good about something or conjure up an old memory or make one smile and want to dance. All or just one can make a good song. Voice is not as important today as it once was. Music takes precedence so does persona. But I still would put my money in older songs/music. They paved the way for today to what it is today.

[MBM1117727]

This is REAL MUSIC not that Justin bieber Katy Perry Lady Gaga shit you get now how i wish I was born 70 years before I was

[Juliaflo]

@MBM1117727 I second that, and I was born after this. (Not saying when, LOLOLOLOLOL).

[megawom]

Classy....we've become so coarse - so crude. The classiness is like a breath of fresh air.

[miguelitotaletin]

¿Quién es la señorita que canta?

[DukeReduker]

Tex Beneke is definately my favorite singer. I'm 14 and I love this! pop is junk!!!

Muito obrigado por sentir voltar ao passado com saudosismo eterno!

[felimabh]

Que saudades deste momento, pois quando era criança ouvia demais estas melodias pelo rádio e eu tinha apenas 10 anos, ou seja: em 1957. Depois consegui ver um filme no antigo cine Acaiaca e Pathé em minha cidade de origem e nascimento Belo Horizonte!

[parmaque]

@Yakovgrin, they are the Nichols Brothers, with Dorothy Dandridge. Look them up and google their routine to "Stormy Weather." Flown in from another planet!

[cybergal99]

WOW, they just don't make music like this anymore!!! Beautiful!! Thanks for sharing!

[yakovgrin]

Who are those amazingly athletic African-American dancers? Pathetic that they weren't allowed to perform next to "white" people, but they certainly showed how great they were.

[sabrinafoxglove89]

I loved Sun Valley Serenade as a movie...this is one of my favorite music parts of it...

[MrArii1998]

this is really good quality video

[MsJenLiv]

Thank you for the best quality!

[Ccrazyfella]

Im surprised they didnt do a techno version by now

[scruffypete1]

The Glenn Miller Orchestra was one of my father's favourites. In fact he was listening to a CD of it while he was in his hospital bed on his way out of the world. He was even moveing his feet in time to the music, perhaps thinking he was dancing to it as he had done as a young man.

[scruffypete1]

Why is this segregated with black artists doing their own version?

[brakoify]

damn it!! why dont i have this movie yet?!

[seattle420]

one of my mother favorite flicks on tv not very often any more

[bzylizzy]

so u think u can dance, well for dam sure these two guys can..........

[spiked200]

some one missed the train on this vid!

[marcdaddy33]

The dance rendition by the Nicholas Brothers wasn't as good as their dance in the movie "Stormy Weather", but this was still good.

[Bonqo]

Were the two dancers made of rubber?

[eddieonole]

I can't believe how much I love this stuff! My mom, who passed away in Dec. of '09 danced to Glenn Miller in Bridgeport, CT back in the day. Dad liked him too but seemed to be a bigger fan of Tommy Dorsey. Anyway, I was looking up some stuff about this film, and was shocked to find out that the pretty young black lady in the last part of the clip is apparently Dorothy Dandridge! She was all of like 19 yrs old at the time! The Nicholas Bros. were pretty good too! Miller was the MAN!!!

[sierracuban]

Music from the ZENITH of American civilization......How I miss my United States of America ! These were the BEST years of our nation.....I was born in Cuba and my parents would see these movies in English and listen to this music in the 1940's back in Cuba......We loved Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman and the rest down there ! ! How sad to hear today's so-called " music " It's JUNK.....

Sierra Cuban, Miami, Florida

[acfinney1]

@sierracuban Cuba had some great music from that era too. Great time to live aside from the war.

[sierracuban]

@acfinney1 THANK YOU.....I love this movie and also " Orchestra Wives " .......In Orchestra Wives Glenn Miller's singer, the GREAT Tex Beneke, passes next to César Romero's piano and playfully knocks down all of his paper musical notes...César Romero is of course just pretending to be the piano player.....Since you mentioned Cuba, let me tell you that César Romero was the illegitimate grandson of Cuba's greatest patriot and hero José Martí....TRUE FACT....Sierra Cuban ( César González )

[acfinney1]

@sierracuban Wow!!!! I had no idea. My Grandmother actually got to dance with him at a USO benefit. She was a great dancer, but she said that he was smooth as silk on the dance floor. You are right about the two films.

[acfinney1]

@sierracuban Wow!!!! I had no idea. My Grandmother actually got to dance with him at a USO benefit. She was a great dancer, but she said that he was smooth as silk on the dance floor. You are right about the two films. You should consider watching Springtime in the Rockies and Romance on the High Seas, both in color, they feature Harry James, Doris Day, Carmen Miranda, Mr. Romero, and some damn good Rumba music.

[sierracuban]

@acfinney1 THANK YOU......I will order those movies.....My wife and I love 1930's and 1940's flicks.......

My good friend, I will see you at big band nightclub one day in a FREE HAVANA......Sierra Cuban, Miami, FL

[acfinney1]

@sierracuban I would go right now if I could. God bless. Keep in touch.

[leahanna412003]

@sierracuban - I could not agree with you more. :D Kids today don't know what it's like to sing or play 'real music.'

[UGLandrum]

@leahanna412003 This will make a lot of you old timers happy, I'm nearly 28 and the 40's is my favorite era to learn about, and I love the music a lot! I find myself listening to this more than anything, I would agree this era's music is garbage, no appreciation for quality music with class.

[LadyRoyce]

@sierracuban "How sad to hear today's so-called " music " It's JUNK....." BOY! Have you got that one right. My Mum introduced my brothers and I to this music and then my band teacher in Jr. High was into it and he loved the fact that my middle brother (I am the eldest.) and I listened to this music and had us bring in Mum's records and he started teaching the band "Miller Music!" I LOVED IT!

[Mariabarcelona1]

es algo super esto es musica y sera siempre musica

[MrValzak]

Чаттануга стала бессмертным произведением исключительно благодаря изумительной арранжировке Миллера, исполнениюТекса Беннеке и квартета Модернэйрс, а также последующему танцу братьев Николас.

Все остальные записи, которые я слышал, не вызывают того чувства, какое возникает при прослушивании оригинального исполнения Чаттануги.

[dynetrax]

Tex Beneke man, excellent. Great Film too.

[Arkady485]

Великолепная музыка

[godelnahaleth]

Wow... I used to love this movie when I was a kid. :-) My grandparents managed to make big band fans of my sister and me, and this was one of our favorite songs. :-) While all the other kids were singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and the Alphabet Song, we were singing Chatanooga Choo Choo and Don't Sit Under The Apple Tree... X-) But this is back when music was innocent and it was an effort to find otherwise, when nowadays, it's the total opposite.

[Kramnosnits]

God I love the WWII Generation. Saturday Night Live can go to hell.

[lena15206]

omg!

[bezzatej]

LOVE it! thanks!

[justiciaideal46]

Muy, muy bueno

[chardonnay501]

Who is the chick smoking the stoge?

[godelnahaleth]

@chardonnay501 That would be Lynn Bari.

[MrxJester399]

ah this is some real talent right here

wish i could have been born in this era to see them live

[gendaru]

This makes me yearn for a return to the times when you had to have talent to be an entertainer.

[eccovin]

Yeah Dad, Go Cat Go!!!

Just an old cat from Phoenix but check out my video on youtube and comment on it, please. Not big time like Glenn Miller, of course. Not like the king here but we were a great local band in Phoenix in the 80's backing up acts like Los Lobos, Brian Setzer from The Stray Cats and others. Called, The Kingpins but Joel Samuel who owns the recording separated words King & Pins

You can find it either way but there are like ten variations of "Kingpins" related YouTube Videos

[gaetosky97]

wonderful song



[MsSoundguy]

I used to host a classics movies series on a public TV station. We devoted a year to a studio's work from 1929 to 1946. It was always so much fun (and so hard) to select 10 musicals from those 17 years from WB, 20th Century, MGM, RKO, Universal. I made sure to get this and "Orchestra Wives." Warner and MGM went spectacular, RKO had Fred and Ginger, and 20th Century and Universal went to the amazing bands. Thank you so much for this.

[pinkapacla]

O, in this quality it's very nice to watch and listen:)

[New023]

One of my favorite songs from Glenn Miller!!! My school's jazz band is playing this song, but its a little different

[lil0babyangel]

this has to be one of my fav songs. I just love it to bits and i've started singing it just around the house, its soooc catchy too. The dancers tooo are awesome :D

[rhino2104]

One of my favorite songs by my favorite band. I really wish I would have been able to see Glenn Miller live.

[dmeachy]

The best!!! Glad I found this stuff. Wish I could write music like this!!

[CobinRain]

The Dance routine is a little bit of magic...if this didnt play in the south...it was their loss..

[amyp923]

It makes me sad watching this knowing that they filmed/ edited it in a way so that the part with Dandridge and the Nicholas Bros. could be left out in Southern US theaters.

[GoRetroGirl]

Stupendous! Milton Berle cracks me up in this clip. I saw the Glenn Miller Orchestra play in my town last weekend and I've been unable to get the music out of my head ever since (not that I'm complaining.)

[npizzano]

Thanks for identifying the Bass player as "Trigger" Alpert. I will be able to let my dad know.

[LaMusicaVa]

This is one of the best film musical numbers I've ever seen! What fun. It's always great in these older movies to see a real band or musical act performing and looking like they're enjoying themselves, like everybody is here.

[fanwuren]

Awesome video. Dorothy Dandridge - Tres sexy without being slutty.

[cromwellj]

I bought this movie from ebay at Christmas, rare but obtainable. The plot is surprisingly good and seeing Milton Berle young is a treat but the unforgettable performances by Glenn himself make everything worthwhile!

[Cherilynn100]

THAT is entertainment.  Brilliant!

[npizzano]

In this clip of the Band, Who is the Bass player? He has a "Joe Pesci" look to him and my Dad cannot remember his name. My dad saw the band in their first performance in Paris after losing their band leader-Glenn Miller in 1944. Dad was stationed in Paris at the timeand sat with the band and chated with several members. He just can't remember the Bas players name.

[jetiwarrior]

@npizzano

Herman "Trigger" Alpert

[3945war]

@npizzano Wow, that's a great memory to carry. I spoke to an old Australian airman who reckons that he saw Glenn Miller's transport plane fly through a bomb jettison zone that the RAF reserved for disposing of unused bombs before landing. Those blokes reckon there was no mystery to the great man's demise at all. Such a sad loss. Cheers mate.

[Josiane212]

Where can i download this version? (only the soundtrack)

[anonemusify]

... this is how they stall for time? LOL jkjk. AWESOME video. 5 stars :D

[baseballkid0651]

i wish i could dance like that... haha

[alectricfoxx]

Simply, Amazing! That was Milton Berle, huh? My dad loved to sing the song, and I do, too. My birthday is today, just 39; track 29, and I'm doing fine. ;) I love trains, Lionel models and any movie that has anything to do with Live Steam. Thank you for this video. It made my year. Whoo whoo. =^.^=

[fanwuren]

Dorothy D. Uber sexy without dressing like a hooker or dancing like a stripper!~

[the1musiclad]

i thought they were about to begin "hold tight" at 4:40 lol. but anyway...

these versions of ccc are incredible but dorothy's is best in my opinion. wooooo for tap dancing!

[weirdosofpittenweem]

that good

[mrtangerine999]

holy crap. that tap dancing was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!

[weirdosofpittenweem]

i know

[fanwuren]

search Jumpin Jive with Cab Calloway and the Nicholas Bros. The most amazing dance routine of all time!

[RememberSoCal]

@fanwuren i agree its the shit! nicholas bros are underappreciated, as well as all music from the 40s!!

[glennmiller2005]

@RememberSoCal and dorothy dandridge. i agree, the shit indeed.

[hoshithecat]

wonderful video

[LauSrell]

Thank you very, very much indeed for uploading this video!!! I do love this song!!! My grandmother can sing it in Spanish. Love, Laura.

[Woo5ter]

Heres to you Franky ... love ya Dad!

[enchantedwonder]

Awesome!!! Thank you soooo much!!!

[abemich61]

Wow, this has to be one of the clearist video's on youtube that I have seen. Great video clip, just love big band.

[TheMelomaniac]

Estos dos tap dancer son excepcionales. Y aún más en la época en que vivieron. Definitivamente había gran calidad en estos múscos y artistas. Y Glenn Miller es irrepetible.

[enchantedwonder]

Beautiful!!!!! Last year there was a clip from the movie for the song, "It Happened in Sun Valley" I can't find it anywhere!!! Do you have that one? Such beautiful quality thank you!!!!!

[songplugger]

Its on again!

[netwitt1]

Whoowhoo, indeed!  Thanks so much for this great clip - great music, great dancing. Yeow!

[bryan57s]
