Under a Blanket of BlueElla Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong

Songwriter: Marty Symes Al Neiburg Jerry Livingston

Producer: Norman Granz

Under a blanket of blue
Just you and I beneath the stars
Wrapped in the arms of sweet romance
The night is ours

Under a blanket of blue
Let me be thrilled by all your charms
Darling, I know my heart will dance
Within your arms

A summer night's magic, enthralling me so
The night would be tragic, if you weren't here to share it my dear
Covered with heaven above

Let's dream a dream of love for two
Wrapped in the arms of sweet romance
Under a blanket of blue

Under a blanket of blue
Just you and I beneath the stars
Wrapped in the arms of sweet romance
The night is ours

Under a blanket of blue
Let me be thrilled by all your charms
Darling, I know my heart will dance
Within your arms

A summer night's magic, enthralling me so
The night would be tragic, if you weren't here to share it my dear
Covered with heaven above

Let's dream a dream of love for two
Wrapped in the arms of sweet romance
Under a blanket of blue

[Trumpet solo]

A summer night's magic, enthralling me so
The night would be tragic, if you weren't here to share it my dear
Covered with heaven above

Let's dream a dream of love for two
Wrapped in the arms of sweet romance
Under a blanket of blue

Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong

Both household names at the time of their first recording together, the dynamic duo of Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong recorded their eponymous debut on August 16, 1956, in Hollywood’s then newly-built Capitol Studios. The record covered eleven standards with the backing of the Oscar Peterson Quartet. Although they had previously collaborated in the late 1940s for the Decca label, Ella and Louis began a critical and commercial streak for the pair, with many follow-ups under Norman Granz’s Verve Records; including 1957’s Ella and Louis Again and their 1959 collection of songs from the Porgy and Bess.
