On this day in 1941 {May 7th} Glenn Miller & His Orchestra recorded "Chattanooga Choo Choo." and it was featured in the 1941 movie 'Sun Valley Serenade'...

And on November 29th, 1941 it reached #1 {for 9 non-consecutive weeks} on the Best Sellers chart, the band's version of "Elmer's Tune" became #1 after Serenade's 4th week in the top spot, then it regained #1 for 5 more weeks...

Then the band's version of "A String of Pearls" made #1 and ended its nine week stay at the top of the chart...

Back when they actually played music and needed talent. Unlike now when most everything is done by a computer.

Imagine if you went back in time and told those guys that people around the world would one day be watching them on this thing called the internet....mindblowing

The Nicholas Brothers were something else. And this wasn't even one of their better performances.

There is NOTHING like the big bands. I was born in 1951 and caught the tail end but the love of big bands, the musicians and the vocalists, especially the girls singers, has lasted my whole life.
