1354.0. "Who Sings.......?" by WOTVAX::HIGHAMJ () Mon Jul 01 1996 17:03

     Can any one help me with this, there is an advert on ITV currently 
     (can't remember what for - a car maybe), but it's a croony number:
     
     "Take me to the moon and let me reach up to the stars..."
     
     don't know any more lyrics, it was also used in the Richard Dreyfuss 
     film "One more time around" and it's a female singer.
     
     Hope someone can help
     
     Thanks
     
     Jane...

1354.1	Frankly it could be Sinatra	ESSB::IMPORTS		`Mon Jul 01 1996 17:58`	2
	"Come fly with me" by Ole blue eyes, perhaps.
1354.2		WOTVAX::STONEG	Temperature Drop in Downtime Winterland....	`Mon Jul 01 1996 18:01`	5
	that's the song, but I can't place the voice either.... unless it's Bjork ! G.
1354.3	I think	CHEFS::CONNELLA	I Took That and Partied	`Tue Jul 02 1996 09:39`	10
	Isn't it Fly me to the Moon, and let me reach up to the stars, let me see what spring is like on Jupiter and Mars, in other words.... Haven't seen the advert but that's what the two lines sound like. Twas indeed Frank SInatra (and countless others since) You'll get it on any Jazz standard compilation and it might be on Franks "songs for Swinging lovers" but I'm not 100% about that. Andrea
1354.4	Sad but true!!!	CHEFS::CONNELLA	I Took That and Partied	`Tue Jul 02 1996 10:27`	10
	Oh and whilst I cling sadly to my musical days, it is also available on the CD diskette Take it from the Top, featuring yours truly on 3rd trumpet in the Trumpet section, Wigan Youth Jazz Orchestra and the North renound singer, and Opportunity Knocks heat winner, Andy Prior. Recorded at Yellow 2 studio in Stockport a few years ago. Memories... Andrea
1354.5		CHEFS::HANDLEY_I	Whaddya gonna do? fire me?	`Tue Jul 02 1996 11:23`	10
	"Fly me to the moon and let me play among the stars, let me sing what spring is like on Jupiter and Mars" Andrea is right, Frankie boy did this and it has been covered many times so the female vocalist might not be anyone you (or I)'ve heard of. I.
