Who knows the song "Fly Me to the Moon"?

There are a lot of different versions of this song hun, Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra, Perry Como, the list is endless. I rate Frank sinatra as the best though

"Fly Me to the Moon" is a pop standard song written in 1954 by Bart Howard. When introduced by Felicia Sanders on the cabaret circuit, it was originally titled "In Other Words". The song became popularly called "Fly Me to the Moon" from its first line, but it took a few years for the publishers to change the title officially.

It was first recorded in 1954 by Kaye Ballard (of the television show The Mothers-in-Law). Ballard's 1954 version was 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, the first time the title "Fly Me to the Moon" appeared on a record label.

Felicia Sanders, the original singer of the song (best known for her vocal on the Percy Faith Orchestra's "Song From Moulin Rouge (Where Is Your Heart)"), finally got around to recording the song in 1959. It was released on Decca Records as catalog number 30937.

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 on the U.S. pop singles charts.

Frank Sinatra recorded the song in 1964 on his It Might as Well Be Swing collaboration with Count Basie, and this became the rendition that many people identified the song with.

Tony Bennett recorded the song in 1965 and had a minor hit with it. In subsequent years through the 2000s, he often performed the song in concert without using any amplification or sound system.

It has also been performed by Paul Anka, Shirley Bassey, Nat King Cole, Perry Como, Bobby Darin, Doris Day, Ella Fitzgerald, Judy Garland, Groove Armada, Joni James, Jack Jones, Julie London, Bobby Womack, Utada Hikaru, Al Hirt, Diana Krall, Mabel Mercer (1960), Wes Montgomery, Anita O'Day, KT Sullivan (1997), Sarah Vaughn, Tom Jones, the Irish boyband Westlife, Nancy Wilson (1959), Matt Dusk, Agnetha Fältskog, Paul Gilbert, Eva Cassidy, Astrud Gilberto, hellogoodbye, Ray Quinn, Dinah Washington, Oscar Peterson, Charlie Haden, and many others.

In film, "Fly Me to the Moon" was used as the theme song of Oliver Stone's Wall Street (1987), under the last frames of Clint Eastwood's Space Cowboys (2000) (in Sinatra's version), and was performed by Jay Mohr in Eddie Murphy's The Adventures of Pluto Nash. It is also the main song of the 1991 film "Once around", starring Richard Dreyfuss,Holly Hunter and Danny Aiello, who also performs a rendition during the wedding scene.

The song is also the ending theme of the anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion, in several remixed versions and performed by multiple people, most notably the famous Japanese seiyu Megumi Hayashibara and Yuko Miyamura (all in English). The song will be remixed again and sung by Utada Hikaru for the trailers of the first movie in the Rebuild of Evangelion series of films, YOU ARE (NOT) ALONE.

In episode 369 of the The Simpsons, "The Seemingly Never-Ending Story", "Fly Me to the Moon" is played during Moe and Edna's love montage, and Moe later refers to it as their song.

On American Idol season 6, Top 20 contestant, Nick Pedro sang an excellently soulful rendition of "Fly Me To The Moon" at his audition in New York.

it is a very popular song of old times and therefore it has many covers. i mean it has been performed by many different songers till now. but i think the one belonging Frank Sinatra is the best of all! it is just his kind of song and his voice reallt fits the song i think. especially the part that he goes "in other words, please be true, in other words, i love you.."

fly me to the moon was popularized by Bart Howard. He is more of a composer than a singer and he plays the piano.

i made some search, results showed that it had different versions. topping the list is Frank Sinatra.:)

i have to say i like the lyrics:

"Fly me to the moon
And let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On Jupiter and Mars
In other words hold my hand
In other words darling kiss me

Fill my life with song
And let me sing forevermore
You are all I hope for
All I worship and adore
In other words please be true
In other words I love you "

This song was done by so many different artists. Frank sinatra had the biggest hit with it in 1964. It was also done by Paul Anka, Al Kirt, Tom Jones, Nat King Cole, Perry como,Tony Bennett...etc etc.

I heard only Frank Sinatra singing it. He was amazing. His voice was so smooth, charming. This song is really beautiful.
Why don't you try to search for it on the net? You could find the singers that have sung it.

the song's name is so romantic,I try to find,but don't find .i like music

Fly Me to the Moon and let me play among the stars... - no it was not Tom Jones and very familiar with the song but cannot be certain of artist. I think it might have been Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin or Andy Williams. Am I close?
