I’ve been warned not to say too much or mention her age, so I’ll simply say “happy birthday, Mum!” Fly me to the moon was written in 1954 by Bart Howard and has been recorded by many artists from Nat King Cole to Doris Day and Tony Bennett. More recently it was performed by Diana Krall at the 40th anniversary concert of the Apollo 11 mission at the Smithsonian.

Although it dates from 1977 originally, it’s one of those French classics which was always played on the radio, and it was only when I was living in France that I discovered Cabrel. Here’s one version of the original. J’espère que la chanson d’aujourd’hui vous plaira!
