Glenn Miller was born in 1904 in Clarinda, Iowa.
This recording, originally made in 1939 by his orchestra, would be one of the biggest selling swing songs of all time. It is currently enshrined in the Library of Congress and the Grammy Hall of Fame.

And it still slaps.
Glenn Miller disappeared over the English Channel at age 40, in 1944 (why he was there during active wartime is another story entirely), ending a career that had one of the biggest highlights in music history.
And that's why we're featuring a jazzy swing song today.
