"Long Ago (and Far Away)" written by Jerome Kern and Ira Gershwin in 1944 for the film musical Cover Girl was recorded by Glenn Miller and The Army Air Forces Band with vocal by Johnny Desmond and arrangement by Norm Leyden on March 25, 1944, for a radio broadcast. It can be found on the CD Glenn Miller & The Army Airforce Band Marvelous Miller Moods on the Hallmark label. With the orchestra's 17-piece, brass/reeds/rhythm core group and the supplementary 21-man string section, drawn from the leading big bands and symphony orchestras of the day, this excellent recording truly captures "the Miller sound."
