"Moonlight Serenade" is an American swing #ballad composed by #GlennMiller with subsequent lyrics by #MitchellParish. It was an immediate phenomenon when released in May 1939 as an instrumental arrangement, though it had been adopted and performed as Miller's #signatureTune as early as 1938, even before it had been given the name "Moonlight Serenade". In 1991, Miller's recording of "Moonlight Serenade" was inducted into the #GrammyHallOfFame.
