During the late 1920s and early 1930s, Miller managed to earn a living working as a freelance trombonist in several bands. His first band was formed in 1937 but failed to distinguish itself and eventually broke up.
Following the break-up of his first band, Miller realized that he needed to develop a unique sound, and decided to make the clarinet play a melodic line with a tenor saxophone on the same note, while three other saxophones harmonized. With this sound combination, the Miller band that became the most popular was born in 1938. After a shaky start, it made his new band a nationwide hit.
In 1942, Miller joined the United States Army Air Forces where he continued his musical career with the Army Air Force Band.
On December 15, 1944, Miller was to fly from the United Kingdom to Paris, France, to play for the soldiers who had recently liberated Paris. His plane departed from RAF Twinwood Farm in Clapham, Bedfordshire and disappeared while flying over the English Channel. No trace of the aircrew, passengers or plane has ever been found. Miller's status is missing in action.
His music is still iconic of the time period in which he lived and continues to draw thousands of fans of all age groups.
Glenn Miller was a popular visitor to Bedford and its American Air force bases. He is still remembered to this day by the people of Bedford with a bronze bust displayed on the front of the towns Corn Exchange, and more recently, what remains of the Twinwoods Airfield being renovated as a Glenn Miller Museum and outdoor event site
2) Glenn Miller was a Jamaican reggae and soul artist of the 1960's.
Along with other legendary artists such as Bob Marley & the Wailers and Desmond Dekker he recorded for the Trojan record label.

Hey 78 prof, I've learned recently about the Glenn miller orch using a "choir" in few of his records to my knowledge. Which I'm sure it's just the band members humming a simple melody. I was wondering if you knew any more songs like this besides the two that I know such as this one and "baby Mine"

You've right that the "choir" is merely the band humming. A few other records where Miller used that same effect, though not always credited to a choir....
"Dearly Beloved" includes a humming obbligato by the band as Skip Nelson sings the lyric: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEztxqxQAjQ
"Perfidia" has something similar during the vocal by Dorothy Claire and the Modernaires, more noticeable on the broadcast version (with Paula Kelly) than on the studio recording but present on both: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znKKoYIEqzk&t=30s
The Irving Berlin World War II anthem, "A Little Old Church in England," finds the band singing actual words (attributed incorrectly on some labels to the band's vocalists, though they may also have joined in): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7q4u4F97xAE
