Während die Swing-Bands in den meisten großen Städten in den 1930er und 1940er Jahren zu finden waren, waren die Bands von Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman und Artie Shaw am populärsten und berühmtesten, die nationale Anhänger hatten und große Mengen verkauften. Mit dem Zweiten Weltkrieg wurde dem Big-Band-Swing ein Ende gesetzt, da viele Musiker zu den Streitkräften eingezogen wurden und die Reisebeschränkungen es für Bands schwierig machten, auf Tour zu gehen. Ab Mitte des Jahres 1942 sah sich die amerikanische Musikindustrie zudem mit den Auswirkungen des Recording ban konfrontiert, was sie zunächst mit dem Rückgriff auf zurückliegende Aufnahmen kompensierte.George T.
