This is the 10th and final in a 10 week series of the Top 10 Vocalists of the 20th Century. "How High the Moon" is a 1940 jazz standard with lyrics by Nancy Hamilton and music by Morgan Lewis. The song was sung in various recordings by Ella Fitzgerald, becoming (with the Gershwin's "Oh, Lady Be Good!") Ella's signature tune(s). She first performed the song at Carnegie Hall on September 29, 1947. Her first recording, backed by the Daydreamers, was recorded December 20, 1947, and released by Decca Records as catalog number 24387, with the flip side "You Turned the Tables on Me". Her most celebrated recording of "How High the Moon" is on her 1960 album Ella in Berlin, and her version was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2002, which is a special Grammy award established in 1973 to honor recordings that are at least twenty-five years old, and that have "qualitative or historical significance. Ella will always be my #1. Enjoy !! #EllaFitzgerald 35
