Blue Moon

Richard Rodgers e Lorenz Hart Blue Moon (1934) A Lua Cheia leva-me hoje a propor mais um passeio (ao luar) pela história de uma música e suas reinterpretações. Começou por ser composta para um filme no qual não chegou a entrar, reutilizada para outro filme -Manhattan Melodrama- com nova letra, não foi ainda assim que nele ficou, pois mudou de cena e de letra outra vez. Depois do filme, considerada um boa melodia para distribuição comercial, foi alvo de uma quarta versão da letra: Blue Moon. Voltou a entrar em filmes, como em At The Circus interpretada por Harpo Marx, na banda sonora do filme Apollo 13 ou em Blue Jasmine de Woody Allen. Foi interpretada por muitas vozes conhecidas, tornou-se um standard do Jazz e até foi uma das músicas do álbum de estreia de Elvis Presley. Shirley Ross (1934, Manhattan Melodrama OST); Bunny Berigan (1934); Harpo Marx (1939, At The Circus OST); Billy Eckstine (1949, Blue Moon / Fools Rush In); Mel Tormé (1949, Blue Moon / Again); Billie Holiday (1952, Solitude); Art Tatum (1955, The Genius Of Art Tatum); Ella Fitzgerald (1956, Sings The Rodgers And Hart Song Book); Elvis Presley (1956, Elvis Presley); The Marcels (1961, Blue Moon); Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers (1962, 3 Blind Mice); The Mavericks (1995, Apollo 13 OST); Rod Stewart (2004, Stardust...
