    Glenn Miller

    Jazz/big band leader born Alton Glenn Miller on 3/1/1904 in Clarinda, IA. Died 12/15/1944 in plane crash. Led of the most universally beloved of all big bands. Played trombone for Ben Pollack, Red Nichols, Benny Goodman, & the Dorsey Brothers. Became de facto leader of Ray Noble's 1935 American band and did arrangements for Glen Gray and others before starting his own band in 1937. It failed, as did a 1938 succesor, but in 1939 Glenn developed his trademark reed sound (four saxophones and clarinet) and soared to the top. Vital ingredients in the band's staggering success were arrangers Jerry Gray and Bill Finegan, and featured soloists Bobby Hackett, Tex Beneke, Billy May, & Hal McIntyre. At the band's peak after four years of extraordinary popularity, Glenn left to enlist in the Army Air Force in 9/42, and formed the war's most famous service band. Died when his plane was lost over the English Channel. Tex Beneke carried on the legacy with a new Miller orchestra, and Hollywood's 1954 Glenn Miller Story further immortalized the music and the man.

    Mills Brothers

    No other vocal group in history turned out hit records over a longer span of time than the Mills Brothers (Herbert, Harry, & Donald Mills – all born 1912-15 in Piqua, OH). Began perfecting their distinctively smooth, relaxed sound on Cincinnati radio in the late 1920s. Accompanied by older brother John with bass-note vocals and guitar, they scored with the first of many hits in late 1931. John died in late 1935, replaced by father John Sr. until his retirement in 1956. Surving two generations of changing musical styles with their same patented sound, the Mills continued to hit the charts through the end of the 1960s. Harry Mills died on 6/28/1982.

    Active: 1931-1968 Members: John (1931-35), Herbert, Harry, Donald, and John Sr. (1935-56).

    DMDB profile page

    Tenor singer known as "The Denver Nightingale." Born William Thomas Murray on 5/25/1877 to Irish immigrants in Philadelphia, PA. His family moved to Denver, Colorado in 1882. Died 8/17/1954. His popularity lasted through the first quarter of the 20th century, a time when, what he called his "hammering" style of shouting into an acoustic recording horn, was the technology prior to the rise of the electric microphone, which ushered in the era of crooners.

    He joined a vaudeville troupe in 1893 and performed in minstrel shows early in his career. He started recording regularly in New York in 1903. He became the definitive interpreter of George M. Cohan, recording the hit version of nearly every Cohan song from 1905 on. In addition to his solo recordings, he worked with the Haydn Quartet (1898-1914), Columbia Comedy Trio (1907), with Ada Jones (1907-22), American Quartet (1910-25?) and the Heidelberg Quintet (1911-15).
