Never give up 😊
Fascinating story of the evolution of the song that became songbook classic Blue Moon!
I like the doo-wop version by The Marcels.
Thanks for explaining the evolution of this amazing tune so clearly.
I think it was a terrible mistake to change "The Bad In Every Man" to "Blue Moon." I love the concept of a woman who has experienced so many betrayals by men, she thinks they are all bad, but still she needs a man and love, so she will pray to God to send her a real lover next time.
I don't understand why the killing of Dillinger, public enemy #1, after he saw the movie would have affected the tune. It would have just added to the legend of it. I hope a singer in the future puts out a new version of "The Bad In Every Man."
Thank you for sharing!
That's a great origin of the song and by the way, have you heard of the doo-wop version by The Marcels?
Yes! The Marcels version is super fun, the best of doo-wop versions for sure.
@@songbookstation7396 The Marcels' cover version of "Blue Moon" plays over the end credits for An American Werewolf of London (1981).
My Dad used to seranade me on his trumpet with this song.
Хм, прикольно, конечно - 4 версии только от авторов... Как по мне, впрочем, Elvis наш подлец и тут впереди планеты всей - его версия просто фантастическая! Хотя, вообще много удачных исполнений этой вещицы...
Did they? Did they really compose it? What about Seventeen-year-old Edward Roman from troy N.Y. with whom they settled in court in 1934 for $1,2OO after they took his song and published it without his permission. Let's hear that part of the story.
I wonder how many other songs they stole from other songwriters!
