Polka Dots And Moonbeams

[James Van Heusen Johnny Burke]

Mostly an old-timey song with a conventional structure (it modulates up a major 3rd on the bridge), “Polka Dots and Moonbeams” has been selectively covered by a few singers brave enough to tackle it; most notably Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, and Sarah Vaughan. It’s an overall enjoyable tune that could potentially spark interest among listeners and fellow musicians.
