@jaboajump5271
this is a classic - I found it in a juke box at this bar in Seattle circa 1994-98...what a memory....
@fifty9forty3
Finding this by Glenn Miller in a juke box in the nineties would be miraculous. It may have been by the Ames Bros. but that would have been just as miraculous.
@keithrandall1492
A 78 juke box in 1994?

@SpaceGhost67
Ray Eberle. Why this name doesn't ring like Frank Sinatra I have no idea.
@johnfury6481
I agree and remember that young Frankie paid many times to see Ray sing with the Miller Band.
@juliereminiec4937
Maybe because mr. Eberlee went solo while he was a crooner
