Such great music! Love the Big Bands! It’s tragic that Glenn Miller didn’t survive WWII!! What could have been…? Again, the Greatest Generation saved the world, and they created some of the greatest music ever! 🎶🎵🫡🇺🇸
I wasn't born until 1953 but the big band era is one of my all-time favorites I have no clue why but it just makes me smile and dance and it makes the hair on my arm stand up because this is the best music of all time !!!!
I had a machine operator job in the mid eighties, on the grave-yard shift. Once the machines were humming along, to ease the boredom, I started whistling Chattanooga Choo-choo, which really resonated in the massive warehouse. This was a song of my parents era, so my work-mates were astonished,but
In 1941, everyone knew what was coming, and the Big Bands gave us all something joyous to remember fondly through the four dark years ahead. The talent and vitality of this number, captured on film, still resonates over 80 years later.
Glenn Miller, his pre-war band, Tex Beneke and the Mondernaires, the Nicholas Brothers and Dorothy Dandridge.....and a young Milton Berle as well!! Swing music does not get better than this.
SHOW ... THAT'S JUST SHOW .... FANTASTIC .... Nicholas Brothers + Dorothy and Mr Glenn Miller thank you very much for this moment, and I know for sure what that's really means because I did live in Chattanooga from 1971 to 1974 and my hearth still in this town ....
Such joyful music. Such joyful camaraderie amongst all the players of this day and time. One's heart could only break and cry to what the world's become and turned into after all these lives lost and sacrifices fought.
You have a slightly unrealistic view of what the world was like at this time. Within four years of this movie millions of men, women, and children would be murdered across Europe and Asia. Millions more would die in combat. In America, those African-American performers wouldn't be allowed travel in the same rail cars, eat in the same restaurants, or stay in the same hotels with the rest of the band. And after fighting to defend democracy and freedom, they'd come back to a country that viewed them as second class citizens.
Peter Farrar:- The musical genius of the incomparable Glen Miller & his superb orchestra, with the added talents of 18 years old Dorothy Dandridge & the fabulous Nicholas Brothers, raised this musical travaganza to supreme heights. Golden words of appreciation to real talents, by Peter E. Farrar. 8:01
The beauty of this clip is without equal today, Glenn his troupe, the Nicholas brothers and knock you to your knees beauty and talent of Dorothy is stunning.. FYI I am NOT black or white and am Gen Z in 2023
You can never have enough of the Nicholas Brothers, and Dorothy Dandridge adds sweet to the sweet and hot! After all these years, knowing what lay ahead for Glen Miller still puts a lump in my throat and another one in my heart.
What more could you need...Glenn and his music, fabulous Nicholas Brothers dancing and the truly beautiful Dorothy Dandridge singing ................sad that only the Nicholas Brothers lived to their old ages
Loved this clip! Thank you for sharing❤ the music and talent back then was amaxing! Always love to see the Nicholas Brothers dance they were fantastic. Dorthey was a amazing talent as well as the Glen Miller singers. Just fantastic
Real instruments and brilliant production. 2023 and love this in NE Scotland. Do love Lil Marlene too. Obviously never heard at the time. So everlasting music I think.
That is the great music my grandparents and my mom & dad danced to when they weren't in high school yet. I just love it & to swing dance to it. Thanks for the post of a fantastic video. Heard Glenn Miller orchestra on the radio, but never saw him before.
This is the craziest thing ever! I love it! Both parts were amazing but the first was definitely better imo. That was until the end. Holy guacamole. Still the singing on the first part was just out of this world! Also, I’ve never seen anyone happier playing a cello. The first woman singer was an angel in appearance and voice. A lot of good things to say about this video in whole.
Like Artie Shaw said, “All I can say is that Glenn should have lived, and ‘Chattanooga Choo Choo’ should have died”. This is a clip from the film "Sun Valley Serenade," released in 1941. It's standard Glenn Miller fare, nothing wrong with that, until 4:56, when Dorothy Dandridge and the Nicholas Brothers steal the scene. They elevate it to an entirely different level.
I’m a classic country music person, although I was raised on this music, I consider myself not as great a musician compared to these individuals. Absolutely stellar performance(s). 🎶
I Disagree Tim. The movie is evidence of a very real era when it was cool to be as classy as your parents instead of needing to be increasingly repulsive.
KEN POTTER... best comment ever!!~ "Increasingly repulsive" !! HA, HA HA !! My husband's uncle wrote that music... he was of America's greatest composers: HARRY WARREN... look him up!
I absolutely love the music of Glenn Miller and to have the Nicholas Brothers in this video is such a treat. The orchestra is superb and so are all who played a part in it. Absolutely fabulous music!
Thank goodness for mother's of CLASS !!! Introduced to the big bands and the Glenn Miller story at age 6, gosh I miss my mom so very much. And boy could she dance ❤🎼❤
My next door neighbor played the organ at the roller rink I went to, he had a big ole Cadillac and used to take us all to roller rink, took all of us neighbor kids, he played this kind of music! Man it sure was fun roller skating to this music!
This generation lost the faith, and now they stand in the dark. Time to bring back the light in your life. There's one thing that brings back things to normal and that's TEAM SPIRIT. We needed that to go across WWII, everyone was doing their best to ensure that we'd pull up victorious in every sense of the word.
Please to see this includes the great Dorothy Dandridge and Nicolas brothers, I love the way Glenn Miller and the band lead into this alternate version of the song, so good.
Roy Rogers just celebrated his birthday and his lovely wife, Dale Evans, gave him a beautiful pair of cowboy boots. The next day Roy went riding out on the range with those beautiful boots on his feet. On the trail, he came across a mountain lion and got into a real tussle with it. Roy came away with only a few scrapes, but the big cat did a bit of a number in his boots. Roy rode home and had to tell Dale of his run-in with the mountain lion and the resulting torn up shoes. Being the loving and considerate wife, she of course put him at ease, telling him that the most important thing is he came home not too badly hurt. A few days later, the two of them went riding together. Off in the distance, Dale spotted a big cat, motioned to Roy and asked, "Pardon me, Roy... Is that the cat who chewed your new shoes?"
Mi padre era fan, tan fan que tengo no necesito reproductor para escuchar las canciones de Glenn Miller, las tengo grabadas en la cabeza. Tan fan que se compró, en aquellos años, unas gafas idénticas a las de Glenn Miller.
At 2.28 into this you see Tex This is Tex Beneke Although I was born in 1965 I just love The Glen Miller Band My late parents played a lot of the songs when I was young Only the other day on TV in England the Glen Miller Story was aired 🇬🇧🏴🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️👍 👍 😍😙
Fantastic entertainment, awesome vocals, dance and band, not necessarily in that order though, depending on your view. Really appreciate the professionalism from all, really brilliant!!
Pardon me boys, was that the cat that chewed your new shoes?! Always a favorite, and how anyone can sit still while listening to this kind of music I'll never know!
I'm of the age that may be among the last to appreciate this music. Do you hear it playing anywhere. They don't even use big band music in the high school bands, they're playing modern tunes almost like elevator band music. Thus the young forgets the old.
Dios te bendiga, padre por enseñarme a amar a esta música , a 40 años de tu partida te siento Más cerca que nunca , por favor no Nunca me abandones , tu sabes que eres junto con dios mis únicos amigos
Expertly portrayed by Jimmy Stewart, the life of a Master Conducter and Musician, Glenn Miller who also rose to be a high ranking U.S. Air Force Officer
A great arrangement by Glen Miller, but the best part to me, and all parts were on the highest level of greatness, was the dancing of the Nicholas Brothers and the singing of the gorgeous Dorothy Dandridge!
Nach dem Krieg... 1946... Deutsche Fräuleins... im Ami-Swing-Keller, obwohl verpönt... das erste mal wieder halbwegs glücklich... und dann diese Musik! Ich kann verstehen, das da einigen das Herz aufgeht... mir auch und ich bin Jahrgang 68!
SO many Miller sidemen went on to be major names in the music world. John Best, Zeke Zarchy, Paul Tanner, and of course Tex Beneke. To the best of my knowledge Ray Anthony is the sole surviving member of that awesome aggregation. He turned *100* in January 2022.
Such great music! Love the Big Bands! It’s tragic that Glenn Miller didn’t survive WWII!! What could have been…? Again, the Greatest Generation saved the world, and they created some of the greatest music ever! 🎶🎵🫡🇺🇸
Согласна на 💯%!!! Лучше просто не может быть! 😊
I wasn't born until 1953 but the big band era is one of my all-time favorites I have no clue why but it just makes me smile and dance and it makes the hair on my arm stand up because this is the best music of all time !!!!
I say this as a viewing British man. This stuff contributes to what makes America great!!!
Thank you.
Has there ever been a better dancing brother-act than these two fellows? Fabulous!
If I get to heaven, my heaven is going to be the 1940's where they play this all day long every day. Man, they were good back then
People were happy sometimes, once upon a time.
America’s decline from its heights is evident in our music and educational system - much better than
This was proper swing ,The best
Play nothing else all day and you'd go spare, so help me! But what fun to go nuts like that.
@@StarryGordon This film and others were made to make them feel happy in a time when nothing else did.
I had a machine operator job in the mid eighties, on the grave-yard shift. Once the machines were humming along, to ease the boredom, I started whistling Chattanooga Choo-choo, which really resonated in the massive warehouse. This was a song of my parents era, so my work-mates were astonished,but
Never seen so much incredible talent ...and all in one clip. Wow!!!
I would love to live in that era with all those bands and singer's , Write music etc.. Wow such a time.. 💃 💖 🎶 🌹 👌🏼 🔥
In 1941, everyone knew what was coming, and the Big Bands gave us all something joyous to remember fondly through the four dark years ahead. The talent and vitality of this number, captured on film, still resonates over 80 years later.
Well said!!
Glenn Miller, his pre-war band, Tex Beneke and the Mondernaires, the Nicholas Brothers and Dorothy Dandridge.....and a young Milton Berle as well!! Swing music does not get better than this.
Tex benikie and the moderaires. Thank you! Great harmonies! Like the hi los
It was wonderful being 20 in the '40's....,.
Wow! So great! Can remember jitterbugging to this song with my dad. Good memories.
I have nostalgia of a time I didn't live in... What music!
What a great tribute to one of the best bands in history.
Amazing stuff! I love Glenn Miller and the big band music of the 40s. Wonderful!
Absolutely love G M ❤ play his music in the car always .
SHOW ... THAT'S JUST SHOW .... FANTASTIC .... Nicholas Brothers + Dorothy and Mr Glenn Miller thank you very much for this moment, and I know for sure what that's really means because I did live in Chattanooga from 1971 to 1974 and my hearth still in this town ....
My mother saw their last performance before they crashed in the airplane leaving the Uk. How sad. Beautiful tho.
7
So sad
Despite WW2, it must have been a real blast to live in the 40s.....if you're not toe tappin' to this....you better check if you have a pulse
how could we lose a war with music like this? answer- we couldn't.
Such joyful music. Such joyful camaraderie amongst all the players of this day and time. One's heart could only break and cry to what the world's become and turned into after all these lives lost and sacrifices fought.
Don't forget, this is a clip from a movie. May be not how real life really was in 1941. For the US the war had just begun.
You have a slightly unrealistic view of what the world was like at this time. Within four years of this movie millions of men, women, and children would be murdered across Europe and Asia. Millions more would die in combat.

Watching the Nicholas Brothers dance is like viewing an Olympic sport competition! I'm astounded at their agility.
I agree- they are amazing!
I want to live in that time forever.
so would I...
I Disagree Tim. The movie is evidence of a very real era when it was cool to be as classy as your parents instead of needing to be increasingly repulsive.
KEN POTTER... best comment ever!!~ "Increasingly repulsive" !! HA, HA HA !!
My husband's uncle wrote that music... he was of America's greatest composers: HARRY WARREN... look him up!
Thank you Sutlers2day, I will do that.
Like all times in history there are good points and bad points. If you were a young man you would most likely end up fighting in a war.
I absolutely love the music of Glenn Miller and to have the Nicholas Brothers in this video is such a treat. The orchestra is superb and so are all who played a part in it. Absolutely fabulous music!
Thank goodness for mother's of CLASS !!!
Introduced to the big bands and the Glenn Miller story at age 6, gosh I miss my mom so very much. And boy could she dance ❤🎼❤
Now this is real music.
A totally different world. So much gone forever.
Man! That is some amazing dancing!!! Those guys are incredible!
Is that the Nicholas Brothers?
@@TomReilly483 Yes. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholas_Brothers
This is music from before I was born, but it's so beautiful.
The best......
And.. all the guys could read music. Loove this stuff .
The best time for the music
Glenn Miller não deve ter desaparecido, ele foi para outra dimensão, imortal.
Concordo!!!
La música es el idioma universal ♥️ y a mí me encanta la música de Glen Miller .
My next door neighbor played the organ at the roller rink I went to, he had a big ole Cadillac and used to take us all to roller rink, took all of us neighbor kids, he played this kind of music! Man it sure was fun roller skating to this music!
The coolest I think ai have heard.

Now this is music (and singing); and acting.
Absolutely fantastic ….musi
Loved this Movie
Spettacolare.
Glenn Miller, a Genius.
Roy Rogers just celebrated his birthday and his lovely wife, Dale Evans, gave him a beautiful pair of cowboy boots.

I love these 1940's. Feels like home.
And the Nicholas Brothers. Soooo much talent in one clip!!
Ay mi Dios cuando quiero borrar momentos feos escucho y disfruto de esta musica
My favorite, just awesome.
At 2.28 into this you see Tex
This is Tex Beneke
Although I was born in 1965 I just love The Glen Miller Band
My late parents played a lot of the songs when I was young
Only the other day on TV in England the Glen Miller Story was aired
🇬🇧🏴🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️👍 👍 😍😙
Fantastic entertainment, awesome vocals, dance and band, not necessarily in that order though, depending on your view. Really appreciate the professionalism from all, really brilliant!!
A lot of people think hip-hoppers invented the goofy baseball cap look, but it was actually
Tex Beneke...
Pardon me boys, was that the cat that chewed your new shoes?! Always a favorite, and how anyone can sit still while listening to this kind of music I'll never know!
Uma das melhores orquestra da época!!
They don't write them like this anymore!!🥳🥳😍😍😍😍👍
I'm of the age that may be among the last to appreciate this music. Do you hear it playing anywhere. They don't even use big band music in the high school bands, they're playing modern tunes almost like elevator band music. Thus the young forgets the old.
This was the greatest generations rock and roll that reminded them boys of home fighting WW2
Dios te bendiga, padre por enseñarme a amar a esta música , a 40 años de tu partida te siento
Más cerca que nunca , por favor no
Nunca me abandones , tu sabes que eres junto con dios mis únicos amigos
Hugely ahead of the rest!!!!
Глен Миллер с транбоном.Сколько лет, сколько зим. Повторить невозможно. Великие вне времени!
That gal and dancers were terrific! Big Band was so nice. Smooth Tex Ben-eke and Glenn Miller and backups all. Did l forget anyone?!
WONDERFULL!!!❤❤❤❤
Outstanding!
Can't get enough!!!
Isso é um espetáculo maravilhoso. Excelente não canso de ouvir e assistir ou assistir e ouvir. 👏👏👏
All the people are great and with class

Eu era bem mociha quando assisti um filme com esta orquestra que se chamava música e lágrimas, filme muito triste.
Anyone notice the trumpet section? That's Ray Anthony (on left) and Billy May) two seats to right!
WOWWW!
SO many Miller sidemen went on to be major names in the music world. John Best, Zeke Zarchy, Paul Tanner, and of course Tex Beneke.
To the best of my knowledge Ray Anthony is the sole surviving member of that awesome aggregation. He turned *100* in January 2022.
Now that’s music!
They say,and i quote,Folk music will get you in the end!,Swing will as well,My old mum loved Glen
