MISTY BY ERROL GARNER AND JOHNNY BURKE(JAZZ)

Misty is a song that was originally composed by the great Errol Garner. He only composed the instrumental though. The story goes that idea for the instrumental came to him while on an airplane flight. He had to keep muttering it to himself till he could land and record it since he couldn't write music at the time. lyrics were later added by Johnny Burke.

Perhaps the person that then popularized the song is none other than Ella Fitzgerald, the jazz queen. Misty is one of those songs that has lasted decades and doesn't show any sign of fading away anytime soon.
