Glenn Miller and his Orchestra performing “In The Mood“, released originally in 1941.
“In The Mood“ is one of the best-known musical themes of the 1940s and one of the big band era’s most recognizable songs. The song was the biggest hit of 1940 WHC and of Miller’s career. The song went through several others’ hands before it ended up with Miller.
This song was based on a song called “Tar Paper Stomp“ which was recorded in 1930 by Joseph “Wingy“ Manone, who was a bandleader from New Orleans. This song was written by the Tin Pan Alley composers Joe Garland (music) and Andy Razaf (lyrics). “In The Mood“ is an expression that indicates a desire to have sex. It was pretty innocent at the time, but a little racy.
Miller recorded it in 1939, and the song became wildly popular in early 1940, shortly before Billboard began publishing its “Music Popularity Chart.“ This makes it hard to gauge the song’s appeal at the time, but it helped Miller become the top bandleader in the world - in that first Billboard chart, he held down three of the Top 10 places.
Glenn Miller was an American big band trombonist, arranger, composer, and bandleader. He was the best-selling recording artist from 1939 to 1943, leading one of the best-known big bands. Miller’s notable recordings include “Moonlight Serenade,“ “In the Mood,“ “Tuxedo Junction,“ “Chattanooga Choo Choo,“ “A String of Pearls,“ “At Last,“ “(I’ve Got a Gal In) Kalamazoo,“ “American Patrol,“ and “Little Brown Jug.“
“In The Mood“ is a well-known and iconic song from the big band era, and the biggest hit of Glenn Miller’s career. Miller was one of the most successful bandleaders of his time, and his recordings continue to be popular today.
