On this date in 1941, Glenn Miller (1904-45) recorded "Chattanooga Choo Choo" for RCA. It became the first gold record. The song was written by lyricist Mack Gordon with music by Harry Warren. It was featured as an extended production number for the 20th Century Fox film Sun Valley Serenade (1941). History indicates Miller officially "disappeared" during a flight to France in 1944. He was declared dead nearly a year later.
