Wynne Miller

WYNNE MILLER starred at The Oak Room of the Algonquin Hotel in her "To Glenn, With Love" cabaret. It was a fitting salute to her Uncle Glenn Miller's 100th Anniversary Year. Songs of Gershwin, Porter, Fain, Cahn, Lerner, Lane and Glenn Miller's great hits plus more.

Wynne Miller spoke at the Grammy Awards representing the Miller Family in acknowledging the Lifetime Achievement Award presented to her uncle Glenn Miller.

"The recipients of these awards are a diverse group of inspired creators who have contributed some of the most distinctive and seminal recordings of the past century," said Garth Fundis, Chairman of the Academy's Board of Trustees. "From the creation of timeless recordings and the preservation of our nation's rich musical history, to furthering music education for students of all ages, their outstanding achievements leave a timeless legacy that inspires generations of fans and artists alike. Their work exemplifies the highest creative and technical standards by which we all measure our own personal and professional contributions."

Glenn Miller led one of the most popular big bands in American music history. In the early 1940s he dominated popular music, earning more than 50 Top 10 hits in just a few years. During World War II, Miller organized a service band while in the Air Force and began performing for troops while hosting a weekly radio series. In 1942, his plane disappeared over the English Channel. His distinctive sound produced a series of hits that remain definitive examples of swing music, and despite a run of popularity that lasted only three years, over time Miller has proven to be one of the most enduring figures of his era, with reissues of his recordings achieving gold record status even 40 years after his death. His recordings "In The Mood," "Moonlight Serenade," and "Chattanooga Choo Choo" all have been inducted into the GRAMMY Hall Of Fame.

Wynne's “WYNNE MILLER SINGS GLENN MILLER CONCERT”, is a continuing remembrance of her uncle Glenn’s disappearance over the English Channel during World War II, and of the more current American tragedies.
