OH ,YOU CRAZY MOON ! In 1939, composer Jimmy Van Heusen met lyricist Johnny Burke and they produced their first song which became quite popular. Sung by Mel Torme, accompanied by a sumptuous string orchestra, Torme's articulation, timbre and absolute pitch do real justice to a delightful song in which Torme talks directly to the moon, blaming that moon for fostering romance with another man who stole his lover-All because of the power of the moon to stimulate romance.
