“Fly Me To The Moon” by Frank Sinatra

    Summary quotation from Wikipedia:

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

    Kaye Ballard recorded this song first. Her recording was released by Decca Records in 1954 on a 45 rpm record (catalog number 29114). Billboard (magazine) said that it was “A love song sung with feeling…” in a brief review published on 8 May 1954. The record included one other song “Lazy Afternoon” which Kaye Ballard was then singing in the stage musical The Golden Apple.
