Fly Me to the Moon Played on the Yamaha PSR-S900

Fly Me to the Moon" is a pop standard song written by Bart Howard in 1954.

It was first recorded in 1954 by Kaye Ballard, and released by Decca Records as catalog number 29114. In 1956 it was recorded by Portia Nelson for her album, Let Me Love You. The same year, Johnny Mathis recorded the song, this was the first time the title "Fly Me to the Moon" appeared on a record label.

The original singer of "Fly Me to the Moon", Felicia Sanders, recorded the song in 1959. It was released on Decca Records as catalog number 30937.

In late 1961 Nat King Cole recorded the song for the album "Nat King Cole Sings/George Shearing Plays" and was released on Capitol Records, catalog #1675.

In 1962, an instrumental version was recorded as "Fly Me to the Moon Bossa Nova" by Joe Harnell, which became the biggest chart hit version of the song, reaching #14 (#4 easy listening) on the U.S. pop singles charts.

An original arrangement (by Ernie Freeman) is found in Julie London's 1963 album "The End of the World", with a different intro than usual, a jazz pizzicato instrumental break and lustrous flowing piano accompaniment. Patti Page featured the song that same year on her debut LP for Columbia Records, Say Wonderful Things. In 1964 Doris Day recorded the song for her highly acclaimed album Latin for lovers. The same year Earl Grant recorded his instrumental version instrumenal from Fly Me To The Moon album.

Frank Sinatra recorded the song on his 1964 album It Might as Well Be Swing accompanied by Count Basie. The arrangement by Quincy Jones has become the rendition by which most people recognise the song. Jones changed the time signature, which was originally 3/4 waltz-time, to 4/4 and gave it a 'swing' feel. Sinatra's recording was a hit and was played to the astronauts of Apollo 10, on their lunar mission. [1] Sinatra also performed the song with Basie on 1966's Sinatra at the Sands, and on 1994's Duets II, his final recording of "Fly Me to the Moon" and his final collaboration with Antonio Carlos Jobim. He also performed this song in 1969 TV-show "Sinatra", there he dedicated it to the Apollo astronauts "who made the impossible possible".
