In the mood was my grandfather's favorite song, iirc. He played in big bands during WWII and much later in life with the Shriners. I think he enjoyed listening to Pete Fountain more, since he was a fellow reed man. It rubbed off on me big time. Hard to believe he'll be gone 10 years this January. I still borrow some of his records from storage to play on my old hi fi in the basement.

Of course, you're forgetting the most iconic Glenn Miller recording of all time.

My personal favorites are the later studio recordings of Sinatra with the Count Basie orchestra, and just about anything Bobby Darrin did.

There was also another great often forgotten jazz artist that few know about.
