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.....

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

WooHoo!! Listen to the Miller band WAIL starting at the 5:55 mark of Choo-Choo!! Don't hear this version very often - shows the band could really let loose when given the opportunity.

@229kara ... uh , do you see any ugly people in this Glenn Miller video .... do you think the way the Beatles looked had anything to do with their success ? ... how about the Stones ... if you answer no , then you are wrong .... the singer / songwriter Jackson Browne got his break because a secretary at a record company thought he was " cute " ... looks have always been an issue in the music biz .

@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.

@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.

@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.

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.
