Non-instrumental songs featured Miller's various vocalists, generally Ray Eberle or Marion Hutton before 1940, with Tex Beneke, vocal group The Modernaires, and Skip Nelson all making studio vocal appearances after the turn of the decade. Beginning with An Album of Outstanding Arrangements in 1945, this collection has been repackaged into various album formats over time with release on 78 rpm, 10 and 12 inch LP, 7 inch 45 rpm, compact cassette, 8-track, compact disc (CD), and digital formats.

Before his popularity, in the late 1920s, Miller played or wrote arrangements for many hot jazz groups, including a stint as a trombonist-arranger for Red Nichols’ famed Five Pennies recordings.

Miller instituted medleys of Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue into the band's broadcasts to enable it to play as much as possible.^[63] This medley tradition continued into both later programs and the I Sustain The Wings radio broadcasts of the Major Glenn Miller Army Air Forces Orchestra (March 20, 1943 to January 15, 1946).

The Baker cylinders are available on the album "The Legendary Earl Baker Cylinders", released by the Jazz Archives record label as JA43 in 1979. The songs performed included "Sleepy Time Gal", "Sister Kate", "After I Say I'm Sorry", and "Sobbin' Blues".^[65]

A version was released as V-Disc 65A in December, 1943 with a spoken message by Glenn Miller: "This is Captain Glenn Miller speaking for the Army Air Forces Training Command Orchestra and we hope that you soldiers of the Allied forces enjoy these V-Discs that we're making just for you." "St. Louis Blues March": Arranged by Jerry Gray, Ray McKinley, and Perry Burgett and recorded on October 29, 1943. Released as V-Disc 65B in December 1943 and as Navy V-Disc 114A.

Released as V-Disc 123A in February 1944 as an "Orchestral" side by Capt. Glenn Miller and the AAFTC Orchestra.

	V-Disc	201	"Moon Dreams" / "Sleepy Town Train"	Captain Glenn Miller and the Army Air Forces Training Command Orchestra / Glenn Miller and His Orchestra	"Moon Dreams": Vocal by Johnny Desmond and the Crew Chiefs, was recorded with the Glenn Miller AAF Band and released as V-Disc 201A in October, 1944 and Navy V-Disc 114B. The music was written by Chummy MacGregor and lyrics by Johnny Mercer.[68][69] Gil Evans was also a main arranger for the Claude Thornhill orchestra in the forties, which was financed by Miller.[70] As such, Glenn Miller had a very slight relationship with modern jazz, tangential nonetheless. Incidentally, Miles Davis did not like Thornhill's interpretations of some bebop songs that Evans arranged, like "Donna Lee", calling them "mannered". Despite this, Evans and Davis were best friends and collaborators for the rest of their lives. The Miles Davis Nonet recorded a live performance of "Moon Dreams" in 1948 in New York. Martha Tilton also recorded a version in 1942.[71] Jazz historian Richard Jessen has also proposed that Miller's recording of "Wham" from August 1, 1939, predates the same phrasing used in famed bebop track "Salt Peanuts" by Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie in 1944.[72] "Sleepy Town Train": 1942 RCA Bluebird studio recording, "Sweet" side.
