Fly Me to the Moon - Tony Bennett - MP3 instrumental karaoke

For his easy listening version of "Fly Me to the Moon," Tony Bennett slowed the tempo right down from a swing to a crawl while adding soft-focus saxophone and a chorus of backing singers into the equation. The result is a fresh take on a timeless classic that was first written in 1954 by Bart Howard (originally titled "In Other Words") and made famous by Frank Sinatra in 1964, whose definitive recording became inextricably linked to the Apollo missions to the Moon of the 1960s. Tony Bennett included his rendition of "Fly Me to the Moon" on his 1965 studio album If I Ruled the World: Songs for the Jet Set, on which he worked with arranger Don Costa to bring new perspectives to a collection of songs connected by travel, from Antonio Carlos Jobim's "Samba do Avião" ("Song of the Jet") and "Take the Moment" by Richard Rodgers and Stephen Sondheim to "Then Was Then and Now Is Now" from Cy Coleman and Peggy Lee.
