I guess many of you don´t know who he was.
He was born 1904 and disappeared 15 dec 1944 and was never found again,dead or alive.

Glenn Miller did military service as an orchestra leader in the U.S. Army Air Force during World War II. He was killed in a plane crash en route from the Twin Woods military airfield outside Bedford in England, bound for Paris, France, where his own military orchestra was waiting for him in the newly freed French capital. The aircraft, a C-64 Norseman, was never found, despite several attempts.

He was one of the best-selling recording artists from 1939 to 1943, leading one of the best known "Big Bands".

That's an interresting question - how many? I've always thought everyone knew him, but I'm Old Fashioned, you know... :p

Thanks for the post - didn't know he disappeared.
