Every time there’s a World War II anniversary, the spotlight falls onceagain on Glenn Miller.Not only because the leader of the best-loveddance band of all time enlisted in 1942 in a personal crusade toentertain Allied troops with his own distinctive brand of music, but alsobecause he disappeared over the English Channel two years laterwhile pursuing the dream of taking his orchestra to liberated Europe.Whether delivering the famous ‘(There’ll Be Blue Birds Over) TheWhite Cliffs Of Dover’, or setting the dancefloor moving with‘Pennsylvania 6-5000’ or ‘The Woodpecker Song’, Miller’s merry menset the mood of not only his fellow troops but whole nations.He, andthey, will never be forgotten.This 4CD set features all of his very best recordings.
