In the Mood

"In the Mood" was the signature tune of Glenn Miller and one of the most well-known arrangements of the Big Band era. Miller's rendition topped the charts at #1 in 1940.

The song was composed by Red Garland[?] and Andy Razaf.

The song also charted at #16 in 1953 with Johnny Maddox[?].

Other notable big band artists who recorded the song include the Andrews Sisters, Xavier Cugat[?], Tommy Dorsey, Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, and Artie Shaw.
