"I See the Moon" is a popular song written by Meredith Willson.[1]
The Mariners, in the United States, and The Stargazers, in the United Kingdom, had the best-known versions. The Stargazers' recording reached number one in the UK Singles Chart in 1954.[1] In taking "I See the Moon" to number one, the Stargazers became the first act in British chart history to reach number one with their first two chart hits.[1] However, the Stargazers number ones were not with consecutive singles; they released several singles between "Broken Wings" and "I See the Moon", but these all missed the chart completely.[1] The Stargazers' recording was produced by Dick Rowe, one of eight of his UK chart topping successes in that role.[1]
A recording by Don Cameron with Morton Fraser's Harmonica Band was made in London on February 17, 1954. It was released by EMI on the His Master's Voice label as catalog number B 10675.
