St. Louis Blues by W. C. Handy. In 1943, Glenn Miller and the Army Air Force Band recorded St. Louis Blues March while serving in World War II. A little over a year later, tragically, his plane disappeared over the English Channel and he was later declared dead. They never found any trace of the plane wreckage. He was only 41 years old.
