Glenn Miller became popular during the 1940s and 1950s as a big band leader. His music was popular during World War 2, and especially toward the end of the war.
More, and correctionsGlenn Miller is presumed to have disappeared in a plane crash over the English Channel on December 15, 1944 so he obviously could not have lived in the era of the 1950s.In addition his band became the top group in the US in late 1939, which predates American involvement in WWII by two years. From late 1942 to his disappearance he was an officer in the Army Air Force where he conducted his AAF Orchestra. That orchestra performed primarily for servicemen and -women so it's not possible to gauge its popularity through record sales, but attendance records show that about one million service personnel attended his concerts!
After his disappearance other orchestras, including a direct successor operated by Glenn Miller Productions, continued to play his music which remains popular among Swing fans even today.
