Marion Hutton, Tex Beneke, Chattanooga Choo Choo, 1984 Glenn Miller Salute

[@dylangunter1671]

Marion’s and Tex’s voices are still remarkable and I absolutely adore their talent and wish I could have seen them live!

[@NKBobcat]

I love Marion Hutton, especially from the two movies, Orchestra Wives and Sun Valley` Serenade. I really was a big fan of Tex, too. No one else did it like him.

[@thomaspaternoster5614]

What a wonderful time living in that era it must have been and I grew up in the 50's.

[@lewstone1934]

Tex was so talented. brill sax and cheeky drawling vocals. loved him - and I was born in 1961. (been following this since I was 15)

[@thomasglynn2282]

My dad was born in 39 and he was a huge big band fan, and when I was a kid we had a roller skating rink open up around 1977 or 78 and my parents being teenagers in the 50s used to go skating as a date. So when the rink opened we would go every Sunday night because it was family night. They would play organ music only (all big band songs) and I learned all the songs by heart. I was born in 66 and I still know the words to a good deal of Glen Miller, the Dorsey Bros, Johnny Mercer etc. Even though I'm mostly a rocker I still enjoy listening to the big bands. There are a lot of rock groups that have a horn section and I always thought it brought out the best in some songs. No autotune no gimmicks just pure talent which you don't see a lot of anymore, or very rarely.

[@waltking9141]

This is a treasure because tex and just about all of them are gone now but their music lives on!!!

[@gregabbass4346]

Please bring back the golden age of Music

[@ericurbanek5128]

Great! What a great voice! The best part is seeing how much he enjoys singing.

[@BUSTER.BRATAMUS]

So awesome and so great 40 years after

[@bullitt81]

smokin! man what a composition and that energy... Tex is smooth and cool as ever

[@thebambino4728]

Tex still sounded GREAT - even better then he did 40 years before this ! GREAT STUFF !

[@sharellemazzone9839]

A FOREVER ....GOLDEN Memories. I WAS 5 YRS OLD WHEN MY AUNT PLAYED THESE TRESURES!!

[@jogaria]

This is goated and makes me cry everytime

[@spwb2k]

Tex is my new spirit animal. I wonder what he might have done with some country-blues-rock arrangements e.g Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings if he were one musical generation or two later than he was. Also, If this show were on today looking nostalgically 40 years to what was current, we'd see Blondie playing hits from Parallel Lines and also Bob Marley, the Ramones, Van Halen and the Cars.

[@kb9788]

Great point, he actually did a couple of Jump Blues songs in the late 40s.

[@KimelaPerkeyJenkins]

The Chattanooga Choo Choo is still going stronger and more beautiful than ever #ChattanoogaBestTownEver

[@kenbuckley3294]

Great clip. A major player in the Miller aggregation.

[@bennyjazzful]

WOW WOW WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! From a mad keen 73yo Aussie fan.

[@larryparis925]

Thanks for this upload - well worth seeing. I was watching the 1941 film version (professional, entertaining, and now time-tested) earlier today. Great to see this, 43 years later. Thanks again! Larry, Taiwan

[@porkscratchings5428]

Truly awesome, just watched him in a movie, great singing.

[@cloudwatcher724]

love how they slowed it down just a bit, for effect, and for the singers to still demonstrate their talent...

[@markj5766]

Thank you for posting this. Tex lived in MY city but I didn't know until he passed. But thanks for keeping his memory.

[@ThatWalmartGuy]

Wow that was great and they sounded great. Good music

[@hankmccoy6779]

Tex = Boss. Nothing more to say. Carry on.

[@jorgearmandosaavedracastro1745]

Hermosas canciones 😍😍😍

[@Kinseydsp]

Just Love Tex & Marion always have loved the Miller Big Band. Saw then at Sunny Brooke Ballroom back in the day.

[@zeikerd]

I love the 1941 version but this is awersome too. Love Tex, love marion, love love love love it

[@fasbc]

It doesn't get any better!

[@kieran3473]

Bud Lehn more like it doesn't get any worse (by worse it doesn't mean I hate the original "Chattanooga Choo Choo" by Glenn Miller, by worse I mean I hate this version)

[@Edwin48100]

@@kieran3473 Click it up a notch at 1.5! Speeds it up to the original tempo!

[@allycavanaugh5710]

I love Tex so much, as well as Bob Eberly and Helen O'Connell (spelling?) !!

[@powerage1365]

Great stuff but seemed a little slow. The version from Sun Valley Serenade (My favorite version) was a little bit quicker in tempo in my opinion. It was so great to watch this vid. Ty!

[@hanneloremarutt1568]

In settings ( click the star under the red line) You can choose the speed 1.25 . You will like it !

[@thihal123]

[@AlbaMC54]

Wow, I like this, thanks 👏👏👏👏👏👏

If you put in 1.25x Sounds like the 40's version

Hi

[@coolcutsgal2]

where was this event performed

[@aeichler]

At the original Glen Island Casino.

[@styldsteel1]

Oh ok. Right here in New Rochelle. Cool.

[@mirra758]

[@georgegarchitorena]

40th Death Anniversary.

[@JudgeJulieLit]

Of the passing of Glenn Miller. Tex Benneke died 2000.

[@mikebritcom3171]

Tex still sounded good, Marion...........well. Who is the guy with the wig, fake eyebrows and fake moustache? Who's he hiding from?

[@funky7chunky]

This killed me! Hahaha

[@georgev9170]

didn't know he was black

[@jonobrow]

Yeh he looks white in the old b&w photos and video footage.

[@harryoakley]

Too slow.....

[@benito2155]

perfect timing

[@Swhothgra]

It was done this way on purpose for tex

[@Edwin48100]

Go into settings under the video to the right and select speed and click it up a notch at 1.5! Makes it play faster at the correct speed! It really makes a big difference!

[@JudgeJulieLit]

@@Edwin48100 "Correct" for the way Tex sang it at age 27, in the 1941 film. This 1984 sing was a nice, interesting, maturer cover.

[@Chrizzletrizz]

What a massacre, no finesse :/ Thanks for uploading though :-)

[@rocket7697]

They dont acknowledge how offensive the term ' Boy' is
