Best Answer

Alton Glenn Miller ranks as the most popular musician of the first half of the 20th century. He was arguably the first Pop Music "superstar": in terms of the number of top-10 recordings sold and recordings sold as a percentage of the entire market, his career still outranks even The Beatles and Elvis despite lasting only 3 and a half years.

Glenn Miller was arguably the best and most innovative band leader of the 1930s and 1940s. During WW2, joining the military, he took his music to the troops. His life was lost when his aircraft failed to arrive in Europe from England. Famous for tight instrument interplay and the clarinet lead his music is still popular today.

There is an enormous amount of information available, far more than it would make sense to try to rewrite here. You can type his name into Google or Ask and find literally hundreds of thousands of links. I've put just a couple of them here. There is also an excellent biography "Glenn Miller and his Orchestra", by George T. Simon.
