Fly Me To The Moon - Steve Lawrence



Frank Sinatra was a very good friend of Steve Lawrence, and Sinatra also served as Lawrence's Mentor. Since Lawrence knew most of Sinatra's songs by heart, Sinatra decided to give Lawrence a bunch of orchestrations for the Sinatra songs that Lawrence really loved.

Lawrence received those orchestrations one christmas, along with a note from Sinatra saying "I know how much you love these songs... Take it wherever you go." Lawrence decided to dedicate it to Sinatra as his mentor and friend, and from then on, "Steve Lawrence sings Sinatra - A Musical Tribute to the Man and his Music" was born....

Among those tracks was Fly Me to the Moon. Thanks to Sinatra, Lawrence was able to record his vocals accompanied by the Orchestrations of Don Costa....
