"Moonlight in Vermont" is a popular song about the U.S. state of Vermont, written by John Blackburn (lyrics) and Karl Suessdorf (music) and published in 1944.〔 The lyrics are unusual in that they do not rhyme.〔 John Blackburn, the lyricist, has been quoted as saying, "After completing the first 12 bars of the lyric, I realized there was no rhyme and then said to Karl, 'Let’s follow the pattern of no rhyme throughout the song. It seemed right.'"〔Sheila Davis (1984) ''The Craft of Lyric Writing '', Writer's Digest Books, Cincinnati ISBN 0-89879-149-9〕 The lyrics are also unconventional in that each verse (not counting the bridge) is a haiku.〔 The song is considered an unofficial state song of Vermont and is frequently played as the first dance song at Vermont wedding receptions. It was first introduced by Margaret Whiting in a 1944 recording,〔(Jazz Standards, Songs and Instrumentals )〕 and has been covered by numerous other artists over the years. ==Versions== *Thomas Anders *Ray Anthony *Chet Baker *Tony Bennett - ''Here's to the Ladies'' (1995) *Acker Bilk *Stanley Black *Les Brown and his Band of Renown *Jimmy Bruno *Don Byas - ''Anthropology'' (1963) *Charlie Byrd - ''The Guitar Artistry of Charlie Byrd'' (1960) *Benny Carter *Betty Carter - ''Meet Betty Carter and Ray Bryant'' (1955) *Ray Charles - ''The Genius Hits the Road'' (1960) *Rosemary Clooney (mid-1950's) *The Coasters - ''One by One'' (1960)〔(The Coasters, ''One by One'' ) Retrieved February 14, 2012.〕 *Nat King Cole - ''Nat King Cole at the Piano'' (1947) *Chris Connor - ''A Jazz Date With Chris Connor'' (1956), ''Chris Craft'' (1958) *Sam Cooke - ''Sam Cooke'' (1957) *Joey DeFrancesco - ''Live at the 5 Spot'' (1993) *The Dorsey Brothers *Tommy Dorsey and his Orchestra *Billy Eckstine, album No Cover No Minimum, Las Vegas 1960.
