From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Misty Blue is a song written by Bobby Montgomery that has become a pop standard. Originally written as a country song for Eddy Arnold, the song grew in popularity after it was covered by jazz vocalist Ella Fitzgerald in 1967. In 1976, the song became a hit for R&B vocalist Dorothy Moore, reaching #2 on the Billboard R&B chart and #3 on the Pop chart. It has since been covered by numerous pop, R&B, and easy listening artists. More recently, the song was featured on Monica's album The Boy Is Mine.
Country singer Wilma Burgess also had a successful version of "Misty Blue," reaching #4 on the Billboard magazine Country Singles chart in December 1966. Burgess' success spurred Arnold's label to release the song, previously just an album track, as a single.
