It sold more than one million copies by 1952, becoming Monroe's first million-seller, and was awarded a gold disc by the RIAA. Monroe recorded extensively for RCA Victor until 1956, and his signature tune was 'Racing With the Moon' (1941). He was sometimes called 'the Baritone with Muscles', 'the Voice with Hair on its Chest', 'Ol' Leather Tonsils', or 'Leather Lungs'. Monroe was tall and handsome, which helped him as a band leader and singer, as well as in Hollywood. The Meadows burned to the ground in December 1980 after sitting shuttered and vacant for a number of years. Each program featured a focus on a college in the United States. Those programs originated on location from wherever the band happened to be touring. In 1952, Monroe and his orchestra had a weekly program on Saturday nights on NBC radio. Monroe hosted the Camel Caravan radio program from The Meadows, starting in 1946 and, during this time, was featured in a Camel cigarettes commercial. The summer of 1942 brought a 13-week engagement on radio, as Monroe and his orchestra had a summer replacement program for Blondie on CBS. After he ceased performing, he continued running the club until his death in 1973. That same year, Monroe built The Meadows, a restaurant and nightclub to the west of Boston on Massachusetts Route 9 in Framingham, Massachusetts.

He began recording for RCA Victor's subsidiary Bluebird label. Monroe formed his first orchestra in Boston in 1940 and became its principal vocalist.

Monroe attended New England Conservatory for one semester in 1935, studying voice with Clarence B.

After graduation, he attended Carnegie Institute of Technology, where he was an active member of the Sigma Nu fraternity. He graduated from Jeannette High School in Pennsylvania in 1929, where he was senior class president and voted 'Most Likely to Succeed'. He has two stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, one for recording and another for radio performance.
