"Moonlight Serenade" is an American popular song with original music by Glenn Miller and subsequent lyrics by Mitchell Parish. When Miller recorded "Sunrise Serenade" in 1939, he placed this song on the back. The song, recorded on April 4, 1939 on RCA Bluebird, was a Top Ten hit on the U.S. pop charts in 1939, reaching number three on the Billboard charts, where it stayed for fifteen weeks. It was the no.5 top pop hit of 1939 on Billboard in the year end Billboard tally of the top records of 1939. Glenn Miller had 5 records in the top 20 songs of 1939 on Billboard's list. In the UK, "Moonlight Serenade" was released as the A side of a 78 on His Master's Voice with "American Patrol" as the B side. The recording reached number twelve in the UK in March, 1954, staying on the chart for one week. In a medley with "Little Brown Jug" and "In the Mood", "Moonlight Serenade" reached number thirteen on the UK charts in January, 1976, where it stayed for eight weeks. It was an immediate phenomenon when first released in May 1939 as an instrumental arrangement and was adopted as Miller's signature tune. The recording was also issued as a V-Disc, No. 39A, in November, 1943.

In 1991, the recording of "Moonlight Serenade", released on RCA Bluebird in 1939 as Bluebird B-10214-B by Glenn Miller and His Orchestra, was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.

  • For real, this is the version by Glenn Miller?

  • @tthomaselli2 This cut is from "The Glenn Miller Orchestra - In the Digital Mood (1983)" This album contains the original GLENN MILLER arrangements...the only updating was in the method of recording digitally...an aural pleasure created by the melding of yesterday's music with tomorrow's technology. It was PRODUCED BY: DAVE GRUSIN AND LARRY ROSEN

  • In The Digital Mood is a wonderful Glenn Miller CD. I highly recommend it!
