The name Tex Beneke is inevitably linked to that of Glenn Miller, despite the fact that Beneke outlived Miller by over a half-century. As the most popular member of Miller’s pre-World War II orchestra, featured on songs such as “Chattanooga Choo Choo” and “Don’t Sit Under the Apple Tree,” Beneke became a major fixture in the popular culture of the period, and following Miller’s death in December of 1944, and the re-formation of the Glenn Miller Orchestra after World War II, he accepted the offer to lead the new band.

Beneke, however, had a lot to offer the music world beyond his vocals on some fondly remembered hit songs. He began playing the saxophone at age nine, first the alto and then the tenor, and played in local and regional bands in Oklahoma and Texas during the early and mid-’30s.
