Glenn Miller & His Orchestra - A String of Pearls

[1Hdbomgosto]

A genialidade dele é IMORTAL...GLENN MILLER é AGORA e PARA SEMPRE o MARCO do BLUES...e que DEUS o abençoe onde ele estiver...

[ketefollen1984]

Try Billy ford and orchestra...but Miller had his own touch. Great up

[young9075]

Se há uma música que gosto é esta, pois ela me traz uma tranquilidade e um grande bem-estar e acima de tudo gênios maravilhosos feito GLENN MILLER não apareceram com tanta fácil nos próximos anos, pois sua composição tornou-se IMORTAL.

Them old folks knew something that we never will !!!

Some of my favorite childhood memories in the 1980's were spending summers at my grandparents' house on Lake Keowee in South Carolina. My granddad would throw the doors open to the porch at night and flip on a Glenn Miller record. Every time I hear these great songs, it brings me back some great memories. And I'm so thankful I've got them and it opened my mind to different music. And on a tough day, these songs completely clear my mind.

Seventy + years on and it still sounds terrific and that trumpet solo (Bobby Hackett ?), peerless !.

[TheInspector3000]

they say we only think that music was better in the past because only the good ones had staying power, but if look at the charts from back in the day untill the late 80's and compare it with today's music, you can tell we are right

[north021884]

LOVE this man's music. Just saw the old Glenn Miller Story movie again with Jimmy Stewart and June Allyson. SOOO fun!

[SuperDancingfool]

my mother said she was never the same after Glenn ZMiller died.

[ryanachristoph]

[gr8cutter]

Thank you Callas

[aznivx]

This is good.

Glenn Miller's band played well but was pretty tame stuff, and definitely not the founder of Swing music, the best or otherwise. Study your jazz history: Miller came at the end of the Swing era, which effectively ended in 1942-43. World War II, the inordinate cost of big band travel, and strikes by NYC band musicians against radio not paying royalties brought it to an end. Instead, musicians jammed, no longer constrained by the dance music, and out of that came Bebop (Charlie Parker, etc.).

[north021884]

@genegold Agree with your history assessment - but the music was still terrific!

Having been born in 1944, I'd wager Glenn's music was among the first I ever heard as a baby in my father's Oldsmobile. I still love it, and "Pearls" in particular.

[KBSM777]

Lindo! Beautiful!

[fjbutch]

I can still smell Mum and Dad's radio gram as I was listenning this track and more....

[alfredbernard]

Kiedyś świat był piękniejszy!!!!!!

[scotchmi5t]

absolutely love this piece of music. I play lead alto in the Moray Swing Band, Scotland. We have a gig on Friday and I'm playing the alto solo in this. Listening over and over again, won't be as perfect as this but I'll try my best :)

[WumWip]

Sea Swings at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk!

[deanmasonone]

What great quality!!! Well done. BTW I love Glenn Miller and it's a joy to hear him like this audio presents.

[jag555y]

A great trumpet solo

[kingoma61]

"A String of Pearls" became a no. 1 hit on the Billboard pop singles chart when released by Glenn Miller on RCA Victor. The music was composed by Jerry Gray, who also wrote "Pennsylvania 6-5000", no. 5 on Billboard in 1940, "Introduction to a Waltz" with Glenn Miller, "Jeep Jockey Jump", and :I Dreamt I Dwelt in Harlem", no. 3 on Billboard in 1941.

@kingoma61 Ditched 3 others before finding this, which has the BRIGHT opening dynamics the others lacked. Funny how you can remember how a tune's SUPPOSED to sound ! ! ! ! Thanks so much GreekC for this and getting it RIGHT ! ! ! My 550 playlists are a compilation of the best tunes from 2000 other channels.

111 lists cover every year since 1900 so I've added this to 1940. 320 artists each have playlists, so you'll hear this on the GM list, too. Finally on my swing favorites playlist! ! !

[MyREDTAIL]

@kingoma61 I LOVE THE MOVIE VERSION WITH JAMES STEWART & JUNE ALLYSON A CLASSIC WITH ALL OF THE SINGS INCLUDED.

[Tbone0565]

@kingoma61 The name String of Pearls is for how the melody notes look on the music staff going up and then down in a string hence the name of the song...

[Syzygy60]

@Tbone0565 don't over analyze glenn :)



[Cuculln]

@Tbone0565 I never thought of it that way but now that I look at my tenor part, its kinda funny

[deweypug]

From 1:57 on just is perfection...

[HappyFoxIsHappy]

@deweypug

That's the part that really got my loving this song.

[greatvenezuela]

muy bueno edifica el alma

[Kruschevs]

[emanderson2007]
