The Day the Music Died
He is remembered for his musical style. ... The following day, the members of the band learned after landing that Glenn Miller’s never reached its destination of Paris. ... The husband reportedly died in the war when in all actuality he was only taken prisoner. ... (Smith)
Whether Glenn Miller died in a plane crash or in the arms of a prostitute, each theory relates the tragic loss of one of America’s best musicians. Music lovers all over the world mourned Miller’s untimely death. After the ill-fated day, The Glenn Miller Air Force Band performed the scheduled Christmas concert under the direction of Jerry Gray. ... Today, many orchestras carry “Glenn Miller” as part of their name in honor of the music symbol of a generation. His music continues to inspire many musicians young and old. George Simon, in The Big Bands, sums it up best: “Of all the outstanding popular dance bands, the one that evokes the most memories of how wonderfully romantic it was, the one whose music people most wanted to hear over and over, is the band of the late Glenn Miller” (Delker).
