Glenn Miller and his orchestra's recording of Chattanooga Choo Choo reached #1 December 7, 1941, a day that will live in infamy, and remained there for 9 weeks. It was the first song to receive a gold record for sales of 1.2 million copies.
It was featured in the movie Sun Valley Serenade. It was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Song. In 1996, Miller's recording of Chattanooga Choo Choo was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.
