Happy Birthday to Glenn Miller who was born this day in 1901.
When the G.I.s of World War II had a night on the town and filled the dance halls, they were dancing to Miller's "Moonlight Serenade" (above).
Glenn Miller was the first musician to make a gold record ("Chattanooga Choo Choo").
Having become a giant star, he served as a band leader in World War II. On December 15th of 1944 he boarded an airplane from London to Paris and was never seen again.
