  • olololo im 12 an i like dis music

    So what? I'm glad you like this type of music but no need to boast about it. It does not determine intelligence. 

  • People need to understand that your taste in music does not define you as a person or determine your intelligence or level of class. Listening to jazz doesn't make you more mature, wiser, or better than other people your age. It's about heart.

  • This song takes me back when people were elegant because that was how people acted. It's almost as if we're no longer in 2011.

  • liking classical music and hating on modern stuff doesn't make u smart... it makes u a narrow minded bigot =] stick that in your pipe and smoke it!

  • thanks so much!!! i've been wanting to hear this again but i forget the title... i heard this from another artist a long time ago...i didn't know glenn miller has his own version...:)

    good job, sunsong23!!! and your photos are lovely...:)

  • This is Glenn at his best! Millions of kids like this music, it isn't exactly necessary to say that you are such and such an age and like this music... it isn't really that dumbfounding.

  • This is fucking awesome! My girl will be here in an hour. I will have this vid on (try to dance to it with her) Great!

  • @pettyofficer30 I bet you swept her off her feet...would have if I had been in her shoes. :-)

  • LOL. All these kids always tell us how old they are, and how much they enjoy the music. We get it you little farts, your 7 and you love this music. Shut up already.

  • .YEH BABY LOVE IT

  • There's no better music than this kind. No matter what garbage they do this day. Glen Miller It's always here to listen to. No one is pointing a gun to my head and make me listen to what I should or should not.

  • i really like this song

    chill

    relax

    clean my brain a lot!

  • I'm 16 I'm 15 I'm 14 I'm 17 I love this music.

    WE DON'T CARE! STOP PRETENDING!

  • @dunkelheit616 Stop pretending? I quite don't understand what you mean. Just because we're young means that we can't like this type of music? Interesting. It's people like you who get all the other younger crowd to listen to that other "music" like LMFAO, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Pitbull, Ne-Yo, Chris Brown. I'm pretty sure that their music is not going to be listened to 200 years from now. Beethoven, Mozart, Glen Miller, and all the true musicans are going to be listened to 200 years from now..

  • @Mechanic808man Well it's just that we hate the fact you're saying it. Idgaf about your age.. It's nothing to brag about. Knowing true class is a blessing. Frankly, it gets annoying when youngsters just brag about it.. You like it? Good for you. If you listen to that mainstream cacophony.. Well that's your problem. Quit bragging. No one cares about your interests in the internet other than eHarmony.

  • @Mechanic808man Why does everybody have to hate. Its all music cant we just like what we like and not pick fights. I like some Chris Brown songs and some LMFAO songs but i can enjoy this without attacking other kinds of music

  • @FrickMarketPark ~ Just remember the mask of anonymity brings out the best & the worst......if you think about it...theres more good here than annoying..whew......have fun.....SQ1

  • Dedicated to my Mom and Dad, They were so amazing on the dance floor R.I,P, <3

  • @lorrainegate

    God Bless your Family

  • and the music plays on and on. luv it.

  • ..slucham i wspominam NOC SYLWESTROWA ...... balowe suknie ,smokingi,lakierki, perly...i ta urzekujaca muzyka i zapach wody toaletowej tego jedynego.... wspomnienie.wspomnienie.....

  • It just doesn't get better than this. Well - at least the genre. This is the stuff I heard when very small, and it thrilled me then.

    Some things don't change. :)

  • this song is wonderful.. I am 16 and I am from Romania, and i have to say that this is real music!! P.S. Sorry if I misspelled :)

  • @IWantSomeChOko Music knows no boundary or age. Who cares how old you are? Why not enjoy good music for its own sake?

  • @IWantSomeChOko Romania.....wow!  I am glad you like this music.....me too!

  • @IWantSomeChOko THIS MUSIC REMARKABLE THIS GENERATION FOR EVER IN THE WORLD..

  • I'm 64 and I grew up listening to this kind of real music Mother always had the radio on unless she was playing Piano. this sounds good in stereo and hi fi but not the original I remember from the early 50s

  • This Is a wonderful collection of photographs they fit the music beautifully – not all of sunrises

  • heck, im 18...i love music like this. I just wanna dance. This is the kinda stuff i want at my wedding lol

  • im 14 and i love old music my generation messed up big time

  • @TellboyQPR Congratulations, my boy. Im 65!

  • Glenn Miller's new idea of his type of music played by an Orchestra seems to come from a different planet. What a pity he died in a flight at the end of the 2nd World War. He composed incredibly beautiful music played by his own orchestra. I LOVE HIS WORKS !

  • great pictures, awsome music

  • Täällä joku sanoi syntyneensä väärään aikaan, mutta tämä musiikkihan ei kuole koskaan ja voimme nauttia siitä täysin rinnoin vieläkin, milloin tahansa, upeaa!

  • LOVE :X:X:X LOVEEEEEEEEEE

  • I think it's great that these old songs still have a following.

  • @Lacey2408b me too :D swing rules!

  • I would like a few of John Miller's, Ink Spots, Billy Holiday's, Bing Crosby's, Roy Brown's etc records for xmas

    Oh and know one cares what age you are unless you are in the 70s +

  • I would like a few of John Miller's, Ink Spots, Billy Holiday's, Bing Crosby's, Roy Brown's etc records for xmas

  • 14years old and be loving this music can someone tell me more artists &their bands please im pretty new to this amazing music

  • @IAmNotTheMailMan Hey. Look into "Pandora Radio". Tell it what artist you like, and it will play music similar to them.

  • @IAmNotTheMailMan Ink Spots, Billy Holiday, Bing Crosby, Roy Brown etc songs are similar but usually have vocals

  • @IAmNotTheMailMan Harry James, Tommy Dorsey , Benny Goodman.

  • when i grow up and get a house, im going to play glen miller really loud on an old record player until my neighbors compain.

  • @ddrspy (and then keep on playin' it!!)

  • any of you young kids who like this there is a movie called "The Glenn Miller Story" and it is VERY good if you get the chance to see it;maybe on TCM.

  • @kurtcer loooove that movie!!

  • i listen to Chelsea Grin, Between the Buried and Me, Emmure, etc. and i find this music quite soothing :)

    great music to relax to and smoke a stogie to while wearing a top hat! haha :)

  • OH WAIT... You'd have to live with 6-7 channels, and BW t.v. No computers, no electronic calulators and It was so wonderful

  • @Lacey2408b Please turn all your friends on to it and start a revolution. Seriously

  • R.I.P Glen miller Where ever you are. =-/

  • love this music ♥♥ its better than the music we have now. the music we have now isn't music idk wat it is .

  • This is my ringtone and it went off in class :)

    I'm 14 and this is awssoommee music and i play the alto sax and it is SOOOO much fun to play it <3

  • @Lacey2408b I'm only your senior by three years, and I love listening to and playing jazz! BEST MUSIC THIS GENERATION NEVER HAD. xP Awesome stuff!

  • This makes me CHEER.

  • @Lacey2408b Good for you. Good music is good no matter when it was made.

  • Hi -my name is Deb and I'm 56 !! It's great to hear younger people express their taste for great music. The performers of this era had great talent.

  • where does this come too?

  • I can imagine driving into NYC with this playing on the radio, while the sun begins to creep from the dark night sky, lovely

  • @Lacey2408b Same here! :D

  • @MellowJelly I'm 16 years old, but its still great music!

  • It may not be Glenn Miller, but it still sounds great!

  • 7 people don't have ears for swing...

  • a very pleasing arrangement and delivery. but it AIN'T Glenn Miller.

  • ahh those were the days...Not now with the stupid rihanna and noisy music

  • Love this music - I now listen to my dad's music.

  • I wish this could be the theme song to me getting up outta bed. They'd make my mornings as a freshman in college ALOT easier. Especially with having classes at 8 am every morning... this music is just so soothing. I'm 18 years old and I am always proud to say I'd rather be listening to this music than anything by Lil' Wayne or some other crappy rap or hip-hop artists artist anyday!

  • Got into big band and swing by my middle school band director when he told me to look up benny goodman. found glenn miler and tommy dorsey. im 15 and now can strike up conversation with 70-year-olds about the diference in count basie and duke ellington swing

  • This is the actual song I wake up to every morning it makes me very cheerful. I love it and im only 15! More people need to learn about the Golden Age of Big Band and Swing!

  • @blooblikesyou I agree. I'm also 15. This is music, not this garabage they have today. Life was peacefull back then with this, go dance with the one you love, have a good time, now its get drunk, party, drugs, and of course, the crap for music (rap). I'm glad some teenagers still have good taste in life.

  • indeed this is not the origingal GM band!

  • This recording is not Glenn Miller - nor The Glenn Miller Orchestra.

  • I am this young and I like jazz. Thumbs up!

  • Saxophones for the win <33333333333

  • I heard this one was stuck on a record player that kep repeating on one of the ships at Pearl Harbor during the attack...

  • @Lacey2408b This only goes to say that no one has to be a specific age to enjoy good music. My dad was 6 years old, my mom was 5 years old when this song was composed. My husband and I were not born until 23 years later Now many years later our 11 year old daughter likes this music She has The Big Band Music on her ipod, she loves Moonlight Serenade, Our daughter also likes music by Elvis Presley,The Beatles,The Monkees,The Beach Boys and The Rolling Stones, and Country Music she is only 11

  • my dad loved these songs and played them regularly at home. especially on moonlight nights! we would close all the lights in our terrace sit outside in the moonlight and listen to them the whole family was there loving it!

  • This is America at its finest, the music the dark days of World War 2 the loss of dreams, friends and family. GM’s music and other big bands I believe was the glue that held a nation together. it gave fun and the taste for broads dancing with babes. Hell for tomorrow they my have been no more, over Europe the Pacific N Africa & Italy yes sir music for a short time took away the pressures. GOD BLESS America USA. 5/5

  • This song is amazing. you cannot help but sit back and enjoy it. Ok you can dance to it too but just listening to it as I work is very relaxing. Listening to the different instruments and their parts come together making beautiful music...they don't make music like this anymore...

  • Rest in Peace Glenn Miller, the true master of American jazz. You have earned your crown in Heaven

  • I love Glenn  Miller music it still sounds good to day.

  • I`m 51 now but always loved Glen Millers work I love the harmonies and the rhythms of it yes the big band was great back then ( I believe ) and today is very signature of his music thank you very much for sharing this on youtube, I`ll collect thm all when I can and listen and listen ----- ----- ---

  • much of todays music wont last--it is disrespectful of women, among other things--rap isnt even considered poetry, just groanings from fatherless boys, Glenn Miller is the best of the 'sweet' bands

  • Really wonderful

  • I'm only fourteen, and I don't know how I could miss something I've never had, but I feel like I miss the days when these songs were played.... It makes me wonder just when the good old days slipped away from us.

  • @leaderofstarclan They slipped away long before you were born, unfortunatey.But, if you like this you may like Jackie Gleason, not only a fine comedian but also an exceptional arranger with his own band/orchestra and he was from the 1950's and 60s. His album ' Velvet Brass', which I have, springs to mind.

  • This music is a work of art, surely divinely inspired. It still touches people today, and it will still touch people after rap, pop, and hip-hop have long been forgotten.

  • Great recording and arrangment, modern day G.M band I would guess...

  • Thank you very much for this wonderful , good feeling music, unforgettable, good dancing music, I am very happy that so many young people are interested in this music …that gives me hope.

  • awww this was what i walked down the ailse to at my wedding a few weeks ago ;o) My homage to my Dad!

  • wow..nice video!☆彡

  • I was born in the wrong era. Music like this will never happen again. The garbage produced today will never last as this has and always will.

  • @edmonton67 I wouldn't be too sure that it will never happen again. Big Band Music will be back in vogue.

  • @edmonton67 you should realize that if you were born in their time, you would probably be saying that this new swing music is garbage.

  • @QofLife69 You make absolutely no sense. Swing is definitely not new. I also agree with edmonton

  • This is totally awesome as I love big band music and I am not from that generation,Buddy Rich and Gene Krupa are ones that stand out to me.

  • @MrMegaFredzeppelin

    You and my Dad should be buddies as he likes this type of music and to a certain extent I do too actually but I guarantee you he wouldn't listen to Iron Maiden!

  • I play in a swing band and even though the majority of the people at the dances these days are boomers, they still like Glenn Miller. We always play In The Mood and the dance floor is jammed. We don't have this chart in our book. We've looked for it for years but come up empty. If anyone knows where we can get it, please leave a message here. I'll check back frequently. It's a great tune and nobody plays it better the the Miller band.

  • @rylwulf1935 Contact the Glenn Miller Orchestra online. It is still touring with substitute directors. This is still in their books.

  • where is 2:39

  • The scenarios alone worth the whole thing, the music is the actual heart.

  • I don't think I had ever heard this before, but it is great. I love listening to the old Big Band music. I loved the video here too. Thanks for posting!

  • I return and reiterate my appreciation for you posting this fabulous music. It's listed in my favorites.

  • @Lacey2408b You remember it form a past life!

  • i'm72, heard this first when i was 17and have never met ANYONE who doesn't like it

  • @akanippy Hi youngster. I first heard this when I was 6 and have loved it ever since.

    It is encouraging to know that, in this era of mostly non-musical music, there are still those who appreciate melody, harmony, and control.

  • @akanippy I have 65 and agree!

  • @akanippy wow that's fantastic! beautiful age! Glen Miller was an absolute legend I bet you must be cringing when you hear the music of today. I wish you plenty more years to come and have lots of respect for you embracing technology and the internet! Bless you.

  • someone could specify me wich music style is it? It would ve useful for me to find songs like this one.

  • @adrianlm Generally its called swing

  • @adrianlm Generally its called swing

  • i love the pictures!! beautiful!

  • @Lacey2408b I'm right there with you on that one! It's a shame that adults think we don't appreciate good music just because we're young...

  • Very beautiful video and excellent music!!!!!! Perla.

  • i wish i had been born in this era, or the era to appreciate this music.

    i did a bar flair routine to Glenn Miller's in the mood a few months back, and i have been hooked on him ever since

  • @Lacey2408b Congratulations on passing the rihanna and other pop shit age so fast. This is the real music, enjoy...

  • Im fourteen so this is maybe beyond my tim but . . .

    this music is just so tasteful and stylish.

    really elegant and classy.

    love that time and style!

  • @dancingkira95 music is never beyond anyones time! Every artist produces music in the hopes that it will cross any and all barriers! The fact that you, a teenager loves Big Band music is awesome! Keep your mind open!

  • kid gotta say it's good to see someone in their teens respecting jazz. Good on you

  • @dancingkira95 Same here man, I fourteen as well and love this to death, along with rock and doo wop as well.

  • @cool45010 If I could only transport you back to 1959... You'd be MY age (then) and.......... we could dance to this stuff and I know, too late

    Enjoy

  • THIS MUSIC IS GOOOOLLLLLLD

    i want to hear this stuff on the radio along with lamb of god and slayer and metallic and pantera

  • The music from this era was the best! I know this will sound like a "buzz kill" but I'm glad I wasn't alive back then. We were in the middle of World War II! But I do love the music.

  • @MrMartymusic I GUESS YOU WOULD PREFER TO BE ALIVE AFTER THE DESTRUCTION WROUGHT BY REAGAN AND KING GEORGE I AND ll? AT LEAST DURING THE EPOCH OF THE BIG BANDS THE U.S. HAD A REAL LEADER----FOR ALL THE PEOPLE, NOT JUST THE PLUTOCRACY

  • Wow

    That's my story :P

  • If only we could go back to a time like this.

    Tis realrealreal music. :)

  • all the other commets are

    excactly my words,

    nothing more to say.

  • wonderful.

  • Sweet Music!

  • As my Mum has been telling me since I could walk and shuffle around to Glenn Miller...I was not made to be in modern times. Haha. I feel this music flowing right down to my heart and toes! Love it! I'm 23 and in my head it is 1941!

  • Artie Shaw was wonderful and also Glenn Miller and of course Harry James and Tommy Dorsey who brought us the incomparable Sinatra. Big band music is awesome. I just wish younger people today would realize what great musicians they were. Can you even compare trash music about hos and drugs with cursing every 2 seconds to this type of music? It's like comparing two totally different universes. God bless all the big band leaders. Beautiful music and enormous talent.

  • I agree. I'm 21 and love the ol' big band music. I really do wish people my age would realize what Amazing music it is.

  • Comment removed

  • now thats what i call music respect to miller & co

  • so glad these great musicals have not been forgotten. I'm only 47 but I love Glen Miller and all the other big bands. Local radio station plays them for hours on the weekends. I listen to them on an old wireless just to get the feeling. :o )

  • @Thadesgal lol im only 18 and i dig this. While most of my friends listen to bieber and mindmelting techno, I chill to Glenn Miller and Photoshop. I like my position better haha

  • @oldmanwithers1 If you're only 18, why does your page profile say you're 53?

  • I can't say it better than Tewrobert "nothing but class"

  • i like it sooooooooooooo much

  • gives me goosebumps everytime!

  • Nothing but class !! :)

  • This is really great.

    A veritable pearl of music.

    Most of modern music can't match this.

  • Kapitalny teledysk-dzięki

  • Wonderful!!!!!!!Perla.

  • me too xD

  • Really awesome music from old good times... Sometimes I think I was born in an inappropriate time :)

  • Likewise.

  • ME, TOO!! But then I think, well... I'm here in this time to appreciate the songs of yester year and help "old" people remember, and help "young" people appreciate. Ya know? :) (God bless!!)

  • Vonderful songs....................

  • Does anyone know of any other wonderful artists from this time. I would like to buy some music made in the 1940's and It has been difficult to find. So If you know of any great artists. Please respond.

  • Al Bowlly was a superb singer from the 1930s-40s but if you want big band leaders then there are guys like Lew Stone, Roy Fox, Jack Hylton, Ambrose & his orchestra. If you want some songs or more artists message me :)

  • The Andrew Sisters are a personal favorite.

  • Artie Shaw and Benny Goodman.

  • Gene Krupa made some pretty fantastic songs

  • Try Frank Sinatra from the Dorsey years-it's his best work before the Capitol records years. Otherwise try Tommy Dorsey, Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington;and, Harry James.

  • I agree except for Harry James, I just don't dig his stuff, but you forgot to mention Artie Shaw, lol

  • As is said today, "My bad" for the omission!

  • may not be as good as the original, but i love big band and swing. still pretty good in my book : )

  • Not so good as the original with Tex on tenor.

  • whos the tenor man?

  • this sounds like a modern recording.

  • Yes, this is not Glenn Miller. This is a bit sloppy and undisciplined in places, mediocre tenor solo.

  • how is it sloppy?

  • There will always be a difference between the original Glenn Miller Orchestra and later constellations. It´s mostly about musicianship, taste and discipline, I guess.

  • I thought it was Glenn Gray?

  • In my opinion this is the best music around. Music today is just loud obnoxious noise. I will always love this style of music,Glenn Miller. Thx.

  • This is real music. Youngsters of this day go for the garbage which is a lot of loud noise. Shame no one has taught them what good taste is in all things. I call it poor parenting is it is that good.

  • Comment removed

  • If I think the Mona Lisa is a bad painting, then it is a bad painting. I think this is rendition of Sunrise Serenade is not a good one.

  • Incredible. I can see infront of me the sun rising in like Los Angeles or something, where all the hot-rods are drivin' by, a coffee shop just opening and stuff like that. It really makes me wish I was born in the forties and got to grow up in the fifties :)

    Thank you for sharing :D

    -Saltis

  • I don't wanna be pecksniffian, but this is the post-war Miller orchestra. Glenn is not present. But it's a slight improvement on the original arrangement, and the band sounds great. Thanks for posting.

  • Thks SUNSONG23 - my parents made me take music when I hit the 4th grade - Mel Clark was a band director who loved the BIG BANDS (the music of his teens) and we played it every day --> I loved it then - I still love it!

  • You are most welcome! Tommy Dorsey is another great :-)

  • Glenn Miller. What else ?

    All thumbs up, definitely.
