Beautiful acoustics in the hall they were playing in. I don't see where the singer is flat, I do hear sort of her own version of the song tho. I do like her voice but wish she would just sing it like it was originally sung. Totally agree tho, the band did sound really pretty the way they played it. I've been a GM fan since the late 50's when I started playing trumpet.
Band is fine. Singer flat here and there. ALSO! The first half of the bridge is minor, yet she sings the major third. Ugh. Wrong notes at the end of the first A section, as well. And - she takes way too many liberties with the melody. "If you can't improve it..." Band sounds beautiful, though.
don't get me wrong, she has a lovely voice. it just doesn't fit the style of song. glenn miller wouldn't have even hired her. it's not that she is behind the beat, but she won't hit the notes, and slurs into them. paula did it better.
Paula Kelly and The Modernaires did this originally, it just happens to be on the flip side of Chattanooga Choo, the first gold record of all time. Please listen to Mother's ..........to hear the way it should be sung P.K., Jr.
There sure is something wrong with singing behind the beat. That also goes for playing any instrument behind the beat. It also goes for playing in front and on top also.
Nothing wrong with singing behind the beat, Czap. Even Pat Nixon, who did the original soundtrack for the film, sang behind the beat a little. It's a jazz thing taught to the world by Louis Armstrong.

@edwardconway27 Unfortunally Glenn Miller died.
This band IS the Glenn Miller sound nowadays.
Live they are much better, we did go to many concerts of them.
