Best band in the history of recorded music
Johnny Cash and the Tennessee Three.
I dare you to argue that point.

I was hoping you'd be more specific. Glenn Miller and Louis Armstrong were pretty damned good.

Glenn was wonderful....Tommy Dorsey, Benny Goodman, Any band with Miff Mole or J.C. Higginbotham or Barney Bigard -- it's kind of an endless list.

Louis Armstrong is the musical father of his country & should be on the $5 bill.

Don't forget Count Basie. He and his band had a great run.
