As a youth he became interested in music and eventually dropped out of university to concentrate on becoming a full time professional musician. He joined his first big band in 1925 where he played along side the great Benny Goodman.
In 1928 Glenn Miller married Helen in New York City and over the next few years he played with several bands including the Legendary Dorsey Brothers. Glenn formed his own band in 1936 but had to wait until 1939 for the ‘big break’, which came with several lucrative performances and the recording of ‘In The Mood’ and ‘Tuxedo Junction’.
The Glenn Miller Band topped the polls in 1940 and 1941 and it starred in the film ‘Sun Valley Serenade’.
