In Other Words / Fly Me To The Moon

For many years I've always thought the original artist (of the many) was Julie London. In the midst of writing this and hoarding the many versions right now, I kinda like remembered there were moments before then that I thought Sinatra, and Nat King Cole before. Or was it Dinah Washington?

Thanks to wikipedia, finally! (why didn't I think about that years ago?)
Thank you, Mr Bart Howard
It was hard enough to figure out whichever version's playing, but I am having such a jolly time grabbing as many famous covers of this fine gem.


Anyway, here's the list that I'm compiling (and stash for keeps), in not-so random order:

Kaye Ballard
Frank Sinatra
Doris Day
Tony Bennett
Julie London
Nat King Cole
April Stevens
Rod Stewart (! found out tonight)
Peggy Lee
Michael Bolton
Utada Hikaru
Marvin Gaye
Diana Krall (fondest memory)
Patrizio Buane
Olivia Ong ....(hmm, new discovery tonight)
Jason Mraz
Ella Fitzgerald
Bobby Darin
Brenda Lee
West...wait Westlife? Okay, enough internet for the day.
