Mitch Miller - March From The River Kwai And Colonel Bogey (1957) "March from The River Kwai and Colonel Bogey," masterfully produced by Mitch Miller, combines Lieutenant F.J. Ricketts's "Colonel Bogey March" (1914) with Malcolm Arnold's composition for the 1957 film "The Bridge on the River Kwai." This medley, under Miller's direction, transcended its military march origins, embodying resilience and defiance. The film's story of British POWs in Burma, paired with its memorable score, resonated

#MusicMonday: The United States Navy Band Brass Quintet recently recorded Kenneth Alford's "Colonel Bogey March." The melody was set to lyrics by Major Dorothy E. Nielsen, U.S. Army Reserve, as a song of the Women's Army Corps: "Duty is calling you and me, we have a date with destiny, ready, the WACs are ready, their pulse is steady a world to set free. Service, we're in it heart and soul, victory is our only goal, we love our country's honor and we'll defend it against any foe." | United States
