- Glenn Miller and his Orchestra performing "In The Mood", released originally in 1941.
"In The Mood" is one of the best-known musical themes of the 1940s and one of the big band era's most recognizable songs. The song was the biggest hit of 1940 WHC and of Miller's career. The song went through several others' hands before it ended up with Miller.
This song was based on a song called "Tar Paper Stomp" which was recorded in 1930 by Joseph "Wingy" Manone, who was a bandleader from New Orleans. This song was written by the Tin Pan Alley composers Joe Garland (music) and Andy Razaf (lyrics). "In The Mood" is an expression that indicates a desire to have sex. It was pretty innocent at the time, but a little racy.
Miller recorded it in 1939, and the song became wildly popular in early 1940, shortly before Billboard began publishing its "Music Popularity Chart." This makes it hard to gauge the song's appeal at the time, but it helped Miller become the top bandleader in the world - in that first Billboard chart, he held down three of the Top 10 places.
Glenn Miller was an American big band trombonist, arranger, composer, and bandleader. He was the best-selling recording artist from 1939 to 1943, leading one of the best-known big bands. Miller's notable recordings include "Moonlight Serenade," "In the Mood," "Tuxedo Junction," "Chattanooga Choo Choo," "A String of Pearls," "At Last," "(I've Got a Gal In) Kalamazoo," "American Patrol," and "Little Brown Jug."
"In The Mood" is a well-known and iconic song from the big band era, and the biggest hit of Glenn Miller's career. Miller was one of the most successful bandleaders of his time, and his recordings continue to be popular today.

....the soundtrack of "the greatest generation".
One of the trumpeters in the band, Ray Anthony, is still alive today at age 102. He’s the only surviving member of the band.
We were fortunate enough to hear the Glenn Miller Orchestra in Dallas two weeks ago. The orchestra has been touring non-stop for 80 years! At this performance, there was a 100 year old lady in a wheelchair who got up and danced along to the orchestra. The really amazing part: in 1942, this same woman danced in front of the REAL Glenn Miller and his orchestra in Norman, OK where they were performing. We will never see anything like that again. When she was 20, how could she have ever known that 80 years later she’d be dancing to this orchestra again?
Born 1947 and grew up on The Big Band era. Thanks Mom and Dad, I keep their music alive!
Am in a wheelchair and still move around to this music. Am 70 and I love this music!😅❤
One of the greatest pieces of music of all times.
I’m 36 and there is something about Big Bands, Jazz and oldies music. You can be having the worst day, hear this kind of music and forget everything! It has a way of just immediately making you feel better, puts a smile on your face and transports you to another place and time where everything is right!
This has to be the classiest era of music.❤😢
I was born in 1949 & growing up in 1950’s & 1960’s my parents played this on the record player constantly! Love love this music ! I’m now 74 !
I'm 62 years old. I loved playing this song in the high school band in the late seventies. My Dad served in the army in WWII and he and my Mom loved Glen Miller. When I was trying to pick what instrument I was going to play back in grammar school my Dad suggested trombone. I tried it out and loved it. I stopped playing about two years after graduating. I wish I had stuck with it.
Often imitated, never bettered. This is the Gold Standard for swing.
80 years later and people are still listening.
Can almost see my grandpa in his Navy uniform dancing with my grandma to this! Thanks for your service in WW2, grandpa 🫡
If you got to grow up in the 40's through the 90's with all of the golden classic movies, music and concerts, YOU were very blessed.
Young in 41 but still love this big band
My dad played sax in a band ... when they played this music I was proud to see my father ! I was 8 years old .. rip dad 🙏
Oh, this is BRILLIANT! A tune - and performance - which is 80 years old, and still as fresh and attractive as when it was 80 years ago!!
I'm 63. I listen to this daily. I play Trumpet. This music is GREAT!
My father was born in '26. I was raised on the music of the 30's and 40's and I wish we could have music that good again.
I'm 65, Thank You Dad and Papa for your old phonograph that played 78's and raised me on all the Great Big Bands
