REQUEST: "Fly Me to the Moon" is a popular standard song written by Bart Howard in 1954. It was titled originally "In Other Words", and was introduced by Felicia Sanders in cabarets. The song became known popularly as "Fly Me to the Moon" from its first line, and after a few years the publishers changed the title to that officially.

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 by the astronauts of Apollo 10, on their lunar-orbital mission and again on the moon itself by the astronaut Buzz Aldrin during Apollo 11. Sinatra also performed the song with Basie on 1966's Sinatra at the Sands (my cover version), 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".

I hope you all enjoy my rendition of one of my favorite Sinatra tunes. Don't forget to rate, comment, share and if you haven't already; SUBSCRIBE!!!

  • Don't feed the troll

  • @EliasFrostMusic Ha Ha! I try not to!

  • I hope this is REALLY your voice and not just Frank and you're trying to rip him off... you are either a really good singer or a fraud... can't tell... it sounds exactly like frank...

  • @DrDjDawghug LOL - I don't sound like Frank Sinatra! There will always be and only be ONE Frank Sinatra. Besides, posting someone else music and taking credit for it sounds pretty lame. I have tons more on my channel.

  • @DrDjDawghug omg its totally frank only frank sings like that

  • @ladyjanie116 ?? Thanks.
