This music is pure honey to one's ears. Just love the rich sound, no synthesizers, just trained musicians doing their thing.

I vaguely knew what the 6-5000 was and was going to search it and forgot. Then someone sent me the article about it. I copied some of it here for you ; Bit by bit, floor by floor, the building that once rose 22 stories over Penn Station is shrinking before the city’s very eyes. The black netting draped over its ever-diminishing brick is like a magician’s handkerchief; once removed, it will reveal - nothing. Behold: The Great Disappearing Act of the Hotel Pennsylvania. This isn’t - or wasn’t - just any building. This was once the largest hotel on earth, with 2,200 rooms, shops, restaurants, its own newspaper, and a telephone number immortalized by the bandleader Glenn Miller with a 1940 song “Pennsylvania 6-5000,” for which the complete original lyrics are: Pennsylvania Six Five Thousand

he was flying to FRance,supposedly a fairly safe flight...they never made it

[@Poisson4147]

About a decade ago historians from the University of Colorado did a multi-year investigation of his loss. They found that the flight was actually doomed from the start, sadly. > The plane had a defective fuel system that had been patched but not properly repaired due to parts shortages. > The pilot had made the same trip many times before but only in good weather because he wasn't instrument-rated. He may have been unaware that heavy clouds were setting in near the coast of France. > The flight was unauthorized. Miller hitched a ride with a poker buddy who was known for bending the rules to get what he wanted, and set up the trip without getting permission or filing a flight plan. Neither the AAF nor RAF had any idea Miller was on board until three days later. > It was *not* hit by bombs dropped by returning RAF Lancasters. The investigators found coast spotter's logs that definitely ID'ed the plane on the standard SHAEF non-combatant air corridor the pilot had used for all prior travel between Twinwood Field and Paris.

[@RICKY972100]

Prácticamente se puede dividir las creaciones musicales del Glen Miller en dos: lo que le compuso a su esposa Hellen y lo que hizo para la Guerra.... a ella le compuso con distintos motivos Collar de Perlas, Jarrito Pardo, In the Mood, entre otras, Pensilvannia 6500 era lo que contestaban los usuarios telefónicos al recibir una llamada pues ese era el domicilio de Hellen Burguer .... a la guerra se le compuso Patrulla Americana, People Like you and Mee, San Luis Blues.... resulta muy curioso que al principio los integrantes de la banda de Glen consideraban la melodía In the Mood algo fea y hoy en día es la melodía mas reconocida del swing.

Many forget,Glen Miller went missing during the War

[@Poisson4147]

The saddest part is that his loss was very likely preventable, had anyone followed standard military rules. About a decade ago historians from the University of Colorado did a multi-year investigation into the crash. They found that > The plane had been deemed flight-worthy even though it had a defective fuel system. > The pilot wasn't qualified for bad-weather travel and should have refused to take off. > Neither Maj. Miller nor Lt. Col. Norman Baessell, who'd set up the flight in the first place, had requested permission to travel at a time when most non-combat flights were grounded. And the music world is infinitely poorer for all of those mistakes.

[@cliffhigson7581]

I just looked the movie up on the imdb app & it's listed under factual errors & the hotel is mentioned as still being the number. (The things you find out about movies on that app)

[@Poisson4147]

All: A few seconds of Googling will tell you the number was owned by the Hotel Pennsylvania in NYC. Miller's band and many others didn't simply stay at the hotel, they performed there at the famous Café Rouge. Jerry Gray wrote the tune to promote their long-running gig at the club. The story in the Jimmy Stewart movie is 100% fiction. Sadly the hotel closed in 2022. PE6-5000 was reportedly the longest-serving phone number in history.

[@Poisson4147]

It's a re-creation done for Time-Life Records. Conducted by Billy May.

[@larryshaver3568]

Ashame it took stereo so long to become the main mode of music

[@Poisson4147]

Some of the first stereo disk recording systems were developed in the early 1930s, in the US by Bell Labs and in the UK by Alan Blumlein. The problem was that it was enormously expensive and impractical for commercial use. Movie studios *did* use multi-track film recording though. Some of the tracks that Miller did for Fox have survived, as have Tommy Dorsey performances (can't remember which studio though - maybe MGM)

[@stevenbaer5999]

Army Major Glenn Miller mysterious died during the Battle of the Bulge in December 1944. A plane crash without any parachutes in case they have to bail out of the plane. As they took off from England towards France, military personnel took all of Glenn Miller belongings at the same time. I seen that before on Unsolved Mysteries on his death, you should take the man's belongings a week to find out if he actually died or maybe taken as a prisoner of war.

[@hisexcellencytrump855]

Another theory, his plane was flying over English channel and was mistaken for enemy and shot down

[@Poisson4147]

Both of these hypotheses were investigated by historians from the U. of Colorado and found to be unlikely, to impossible. > His decision to accept a lift from LTC Baessell was a last-minute choice. Not only did only a couple of people know he was on that plane, there wasn't a formal flight plan for anyone to track. Thus it's extremely unlikely there could be a contemporaneous cover-up. > It was not hit by bombs dropped by returning RAF Lancasters. The investigators found coast spotter's logs that definitely ID'ed the plane on the standard SHAEF non-combatant air corridor the pilot had used for all prior travel between Twinwood Field and Paris. What the investigators DID find was a chain of oversights and mistakes that doomed the flight almost from the start. > The plane had a defective fuel system that had been patched but not properly repaired due to parts shortages. > The pilot had made the same trip many times before but only in good weather because he wasn't instrument-rated.

Neither the AAF nor RAF had any idea Miller was on board until three days later.
