I've heared my Pop sang this song a hundred times at home. Now he's gone and I sing it for my grandchildren in memory of him. I truly love this song......!
Narzky Beamer Oh, what a lovely way to carry on your Pop's memory, and share the beauty of Glenn Miller's music!! Bet that someday, they'll learn to dance to Miller's music, and sing his songs to their children.... and so on it goes!!🙂😍
I listened to The Big Band Music because of my Father. Who grew up with all of them. He's in Heaven now and this was his Favorite. Thank You Daddy for Introducing me to the Greatest American Music. I Miss You So.
they don't make em like this anymore!!!! born in 1956,i know this music because of my dad!!! lived through the 60's 70's 80's(2nd favororite era of music) 90's and now with today's JUNK!!! this music had feeling and emotion. made you feel strength, warmth,power. the words and music meant something!!!! anytime anyday bring it back!!!!
TheSonglvr I know, right?! Even my roommate, a confirmed rock 'n roller, had to stop and ask me, "Who's that singing?" He agreed it is a beautiful song!! I know my Mom would've loved this number, too!! Sure do miss her and wish she were hear to share this lovely song with me!!😕😤
moloch49, No need to take umbrage, it was just a passing comment that in the 1940's many family's lives were devastated by the war. In other terms I agree with you, in many respects society was much better in the 1940's and indeed the 1950's when the war was over. This a great lyric from a gentler age, and an excellent foxtrot. The joy of this music is that every syllable can be heard
THANK YOU for your service I played in the air force band 1977 we played alot of these songs for the brass when they had parties love this music we dont have music now THANK YOU FOR THIS MUSIC God bless
To my darling Dad who is so ill in hospital tonight!You and Mum brought me up listening to Glenn Miller!Great memories of you and Mum dancing to this!Sending you all my love xxxxxx
@fromthesidelines And, let's not forget, it was the great Pat Friday who actually sang for Lyn Bari, as she also did in " Orchestra Wives". Thank-you, & thanks to You Tube, for keeping this wonderful music alive--we'll not ever hear this again, but thankfully, we have it now. No, John Payne didn't play that piano, but who cared ?? Wolfsky9, 64 y/o
This makes me remember my dad so much. Listening his songs on the car was one of his best moments. Time of the great Bands what a wonderful in my heart. Miss you dearly Daddy.
Italia giugno 2023. Sottoscrivo. Perfetto. Oggi è l'anniversario della scomparsa del mio papà...e così mi sembra giusto ascoltare la sua musica...perché lo sento più vicino.
My son [28 months] and I are listening to this after watching "Memphis Belle", he starts to dance and tries to sing along. When he sings "gypsy violins" it's magic. As for class and the country, it starts at home.......... It's a choice to raise our children with it. Some sadly choose not too.
Clarinet playing the lead melody with a tenor sax playing the same melodic line an octave lower and harmony filled in by the rest of the saxes. NO band has ever played it to get the same sound that the original Miller band did. The sound is unmistaken and for all time belongs to Glenn Miller.
There were lots of great music about But when miller music starts you are transported into another letter How many of today’s would still be around like Millers
My Parents were both ardent fans of Glen & his music. My Dad always told me this is his musical masterpiece, written by Mack Gordon & Harry Warren. It's incredibly complex, & yet, just gorgeous, sung by Pat Friday, dubbing for Lyn Bari as she did in both GM films. I also wish I'd grown up in this era, & I'm 63, & a 50's / 60's Kid. Just Beautiful. Wolfsky9
Willie Schwartz, "Doc" McMickle, Ray Anthony, Ray Eberle, the Modernaires, Tex Beneke, and all the rest. Amazing sounds. Amazing group. Thanks, Glenn. We miss you.
This is beautiful! I'm so thankful to RUclips for allowing me to broaden my swing/big band music education. It just doesn't get better than this stuff. I'm so happy it's still around for us of the younger generations to explore and enjoy.
I can't believe it! I've been looking for this song since I heard a part of it in the film Memphis Belle. It's marvelous! I've passed hours in the net, in the last months, trying to find about it and I hadn't found anything, now I just suddenly find it! It's a beautiful song!
@@Rogue.Warrior No, I haven't seen the real Memphis Belle, but in 1999, when I was 11 years old, my dad, brothers and I went to the Museum of Flight in Seattle and met Captain Robert Morgan, the man who flew the Memphis Belle during WW2. It was quite an experience and we have an autographed photo of him with his crew that was taken after their last mission, as well as photos we took of him with us. I understand he died a few years ago. RIP Robert Morgan. Furthermore, in 2011, the Museum of Flight renovated a B-17 f and opened it up for tours on a lottery basis. I kept checking in when they called the winning tickets. After the 3rd time, the docent said she would let me go in, even though my ticket didn't win, because I was one of the few that actually cared. Many people who's tickets won didn't show up. That plane was immaculate! It was renovated to what it would have been as it rolled out of the Boeing plant in February, 1943! And, that very plane is the one in the dance scene in the movie! You know, where the tail gunner sings "Danny Boy." Lastly, on June 24, 2017, I flew in both the B-17, "909", and the B-24, "Witchcraft," of the Collings Foundation. I will always remember that date, because it takes care of both planes! I didn't plan it that way, its just how it worked. So incredible!
Just stunningly beautiful!Some fabulous guys from our local silver band played this at my Nan's funeral in our church.She loved this song so much.Wonderful to hear it played for her loud and live!Thanks for posting x
This is real art - perfect in every aspect of it: the music, the orchestra with a genius at the helm, with absolutely flawless singing. Acthing is nothing less than perfect. Growing in USSR we were watching this kind of "censored" movies, american, italian, french, truly the best ones.
Zaven Aharonian What a lovely compliment from someone who grew up with such rich cultural traditions as Russia!! I am a former ballet student, for about 12 years, and I have always thought that there was none better than the Russian tradition of ballet. Also, the folk music and dance clubs is fantastic!! So glad to hear that you love Miller's music! I know why and so on you...!
The opening number from Glenn's first feature film, "Sun Valley Serenade" (1941), incorporating his theme, "Moonlight Serenade", just before the segue into "I Know Why", written by Mack Gordon & Harry Warren. Pat Friday is actually singing for Lynn Bari...backing her are Miller's vocal group, "The Modernaires". Gordon "Tex" Beneke plays the sax solo in the middle...Milton Berle, playing Glenn's agent, is "comedy relief" during the film.
Reminds me of my dad. 2nd Trumpet and sometimes vocalist, Alan Ayres Jazz Band, Birmingham University UK. R.I.P Phil Harrison 28th Nov 1920 - 7th Jan 2003.
It's important to mention the composer of "I Know Why": Mr. Harry Warren. He wrote so many hit songs for Glenn Miller, show numbers like "Chattanooga Choo-Choo" & "I've Got A Gal In Kalamazoo", the timeless ballads "At Last" & "Serenade In Blue", etc. etc. all for the two musical comedies "Sun Valley Serenade" & "Orchestra Wives" ... pure genius!

This is THE BEST!!! Makes me so melancholy ! Loved dancing to this. TTHS had a wonderful band and this was always the last song at all of our dances. Love it!!!
The voice of Pat Friday who dubbed for Lynn Bari, gave this vocal a poignacy no one will ever do better. This is a perfect example of why GM & His Orchestra were so far ahead of everyone else. This is an unbelievably sophisticated melody, with so many chord/ rhythm changes, it boggles the mind. Harry Warren & Mack Gordon out did themselves with this masterpiece-- We'll not see or hear music like this, ever again. Wolfsky9
@sharkieballs Hi Ken I woke up this moring singing White Cliffes of Dover. First of all i can't remember ever singing that, I must have heard it some place or some-where at sometime..
This song is simply mind boggling in it's musical complexity. I kinow--I spent an entire semester dissecting it in my Senior year in college. If you could see what the sheet music looks like--well, let's just say it--Harry Warren was a true music genius. Wolfsky9, 64 y/o
I read all these posts. I'm very impressed w Pat Friday's voice, full and secure with a supple vibrato. (That IS Payne's voice, tho not his piano.) Tune by the great Harry Warren(I Had the Craziest Dream, by Helen Forrest) words by Mack Gordon. Captures the wonder, joy and reticence of young love like no other song. Every young woman should have the chance to hear this song while a junior in high school. I would like to hear the Dick Haymes version, the best male pop singing voice, IMO.
This is the music I grew up to--the gift my parents gave me --& I am forever grateful to them. This IS music, timeless , classy, & simply gorgeous. Pat Friday ghosted for Lyn Bari, & John Payne sings his part himself. I'm 66 y/o, & I so hope this music lives on past my generation. Wolfsky9
@Audacissimus I'm 68 and it gives me goosebumps to hear you say that. I was born 3 years before Glen Miller died but grew up through late childhood with his music and, of course, other great band leaders of the time.
I heard all these songs when i was growing up and still love them. Got to see the Glenn Miller band last year it was great. i remember my parents would go out dancing on the weekends and the all got together for a drink at our house first and the ladies wore coktail dresses and the men wore suits and they actually danced touching each other it was a great erea
Lynn didn't sing in her films. She was dubbed by Pat Friday (Patricia Freitag) for both Miller films _Sun Valley Serenade_ and _Orchestra Wives_ . Lorraine Elliot dubbed her in other films.
As the opening number in "Sun Valley Serenade", this song is beautifully arranged bersides having both great music and lyrics, and, of course, what a performance by Glenn Miller. Good choice to display such top notch big band music.
About 15 years ago a STEREO version of part of the soundtrack was discovered and remastered on CD. For those of us too young to have ever heard this phenomenal orchestra in person, the recording is like a time machine. Oh, to be able to hear the original band just once...
Absolutely. Fox had one of the most advanced studios of the time, with much more openness and higher-quality equipment. IIRC these soundtracks were recorded on 16" transcription disks. I'm not sure how they captured both channels because at that time only Bell Labs had equipment to cut single-groove stereo.
My first transistor radio introduced me to big band music and to Glenn Miller. I would listen to it in my room after going to bed with the earphone so as not to disturb anyone else. Almost every Saturday night, late, a disc jockey on KMPC in Los Angeles would play old radio sound checks of the big bands. It was literally music to my ear and I have loved big band music ever since.
This is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. Another masterpiece in my opinion is Johnny Hartman singing 'Lush Life' with John Coltrane playing saxophone along with. Good years back then, great music...ahhhh, it just puts me IN THE MOOD :)
During Eighth Grade week at Osborn School in Phoenix, Az, our last week of class before graduation and a week in which we eighth graders were taken on field trips and had various special events during the school day, our principal, Mr. Dunham showed the Glenn Miller Story. I became a hardwired Glenn Miller fan that day, and every day since.
Hearing this fantastic, beautiful song often brings tears to my eyes, too. Everything about this song (orchestra rendition, vocals, lyrics) is absolutely FANTASTIC! Music just doesn't get any better than songs such as this.
To VFA103JollyRogers, I truly commend you for having the taste/ maturity to appreciate this magnificent music. I'm 63 y/o, & it was my Parents & their passion for music, especially Glen Miller, that so influenced me growing up. My Dad always said this was THE song for that " last dance" at 2:00 AM . He loved it, & never, ever tired of singing along to Pat Friday's magnificent vocal. Wolfsky9
Yes, this beautiful song was a favourite of my Dad and Mom during World War Two, and, as a young boy in British India (Bombay), I remember the 78 r.p.m. record being murdered on our old winding gramophone. It always brings back memories of my parents and those times, and it is difficult to keep back the tears whenever I hear it. I have a lovely "Joe Loss" version of it played in "Glenn Miller" style, with the vocalist trying to sound as American as possible.
Navi404 : Oh ! I would love to hear that ! When i was in the armed forces national band (Canada) i had a musician called "yogi", who spent nearly a lifetime in the british army in India. He told me all sorts of stories about that time, the lifestyle, etc. I feel the same way as you about my parents, Glenn Miller, and all !
que placer ver tocar en vivo tantos instrumentos con tanta profesionalidad y ya hoy no existe nada de esto. todo se hace con sintetizador electronico y el sonido no es igual
Es una excelente musica ,lastima que la juventud no la oiga ni la baile,a mi en lo personal me fascina,la disfruto tanto oyendola como bailandola es una delicia ,asi son las grandes bandas....GRACIAS
Your right there William the good old days when you could sit and listen all night long I am nearly 80 and stll play all the music from those days .Me and my brother use to listen at night in bed to the American Forces Network or AFN Radio
There was no sound like Miller. These kids today have no clue what Real music is!!

beautiful! some of all of our favorite miller tunes
I'm in heaven just listening to this! It is absolutely superb.
Thank you for sharing.
To VFA103JollyRogers, I truly commend you for having the taste/ maturity to appreciate this magnificent music. I'm 63 y/o, & it was my Parents & their passion for music, especially Glen Miller, that so influenced me growing up. My Dad always said this was THE song for that " last dance" at 2:00 AM . He loved it, & never, ever tired of singing along to Pat Friday's magnificent vocal. Wolfsky9
Harren Warren was sure a fantastic talent! His tunes from the movies, beginning with "42nd Street" will endure through generations.
Yes, this beautiful song was a favourite of my Dad and Mom during World War Two, and, as a young boy in British India (Bombay), I remember the 78 r.p.m. record being murdered on our old winding gramophone. It always brings back memories of my parents and those times, and it is difficult to keep back the tears whenever I hear it. I have a lovely "Joe Loss" version of it played in "Glenn Miller" style, with the vocalist trying to sound as American as possible.
Very classy.
Just another early classic from the Glenn Miller Band. Supurb!
Pat Friday dubbing for Lyn Bari, & The Modernaires just made a true vocal classic with this song. Just beautiful. Wolfsky9
What a beautiful song and video. Brought back so many memories. My eyes were full of tears.
Navi404 : Oh ! I would love to hear that ! When i was in the armed forces national band (Canada) i had a musician called "yogi", who spent nearly a lifetime in the british army in India. He told me all sorts of stories about that time, the lifestyle, etc. I feel the same way as you about my parents, Glenn Miller, and all !
This is so beautiful, I almost genuinely felt like crying.
moonlight serenade into i know why is such a great combo.....two fantastic songs
Love Glenn Miller, his orchestra, his songs, and his sound.
que placer ver tocar en vivo tantos instrumentos con tanta profesionalidad y ya hoy no existe nada de esto. todo se hace con sintetizador electronico y el sonido no es igual
musica para apaciguar el espiritu, no pasara nunca de moda, ya no hay mas genios musicales con Glen, todo un clasico..
Beautiful song.. Nothing beats the song of yesteryear
Es una excelente musica ,lastima que la juventud no la oiga ni la baile,a mi en lo personal me fascina,la disfruto tanto oyendola como bailandola es una delicia ,asi son las grandes bandas....GRACIAS
Tengo 17 y me gusta mucho.
