the song "Blue Moon"

[Turin39789]

Trying to figure out who sang this, I know a lot of people covered it, but there is one fairly standard version and I am trying to figure out who it is. Help please

 

[Tallgeese]

Sinatra, but there are MANY others

The Marcels?

Sha Na Na probably has the most played version, followed by The Platters.

 

[burnedout]

Rodgers and Hart, 1934

I think the Marcels performed the hip hop version.

i beg to differ. I'm almost positive The Marcel's version is played at least TWICE as often.

Cowboy Junkies have an excellent cover titled "Blue Moon Revisited" on their amazing "The Trinity Session"

Cowboy Junkies' is very low-key, if that's what you are looking for...
