Answer 2

The answer I think you want is THE MARCELS: But the recording history goes like this:
1934 Connee Boswell
After 1934: Billie Holiday, Frank Sinatra, Vaughn Monroe, Dean Martin, Frankie Laine & Michel Legrand, and Tony Bennett, with Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Dizzy Gillespie, and Django Reinhardt pitching in with the most famous jazz versions.

The first crossover recording to rock and roll came from Elvis Presley, but the version that really stirred things up came from The Marcels, a doo-wop group. In 1961, they shocked the purists (and the composers) with a new version that began with the bass singing, "bomp-baba-bomp" and "dip-da-dip". The record sold a million copies and is featured in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll.

In 1967, Eric Clapton used a portion of the song in his guitar solo from Cream's hit "Sunshine of Your Love." Bob Dylan covered the song on his Self Portrait album. In 1978, an arrangement by Jeff Funk was used in the film Grease. This has been followed by a country version from The Mavericks. More recently, it has been recorded by Rod Stewart. Cybill Shepherd sang "Blue Moon" on an episode of Moonlighting (the detective agency in that show was called "Blue Moon Investigations".)

The Canadian band Cowboy Junkies recorded a rendition of "Blue Moon" on their 1988 album The Trinity Session — their version combined the song into a medley with an original song written by the band.

In the 1982 film An American Werewolf in London, three different versions are used. Bobby Vinton's plays over the opening credits, Sam Cooke's ballad is used during a transformation sequence and The Marcels' doo-wop version is used over the closing credits.

In 1995 Australian virtuoso guitarist Tommy Emmanuel recorded a rendition of "Blue Moon" on his album Initiation, without vocals. His fingerpicking style is used extensively on this track.

A cover has also been done by Fado legend Amalia Rodrigues.

In 2002 Polish rockabilly band Komety recorded "Blue Moon" on their debut album.

In 2002 Samantha Mumba recorded it for her second album Woman.

In 2006, the song was covered by OPM band Orange and Lemons, which served as the theme song of the movie of the same name.

In 2007 Helmut Lotti, a Dutch singer from Belgium, covered this song on his "crooners cd".
