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. Monica covered the song as part of her 1998 album,The Boy Is Mine. It was also included on Mary J. Blige's live album "The Tour", the same year. Even more recently, singer Miki Howard covered the song on her 2006 covers' album, "Pillow Talk".
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.
