July 23, 2021 Record of the Day

Among the giants of the Big Band era was Glenn Miller. In 1942 he wanted to join the army but was informed he was too old. But through persistence he was sworn in and formed the Army Air Force Band. In 1956, long after the swing era had faded and years after Miller was listed as missing in action, RCA reintroduced Glenn Miller with the five-record set, “Army Air Force Band.” An original copy of the set is worth up to $200.00 today.
