  • "Under a Blanket of Blue" is an American popular song composed by Jerry Livingston (as Jerry Levinson), with lyrics by Marty Symes and Al J. Neiburg. It was published by Santly Bros., Inc. in 1933, one of four hits by the songwriting trio that year, along with "It's the Talk of the Town." It was first recorded by Glen Gray and the Casa Loma Orchestra, with vocals by Kenny Sargent, on Brunswick recording 6584. The song charted on Billboard on July 1, 1933, reaching #6. A month later, a subsequent recording by Don Bestor and His Orchestra also charted, reaching #8. AllMusic calls "Under a Blanket of Blue" a "notable" composition, and says that after its initial success, the song "remained popular with jazz artists in particular." It has become a standard, performed by vocalists and instrumentalists alike. The Tin Pan Alley Song Encyclopedia describes it as "a cozy ballad ... about a couple snuggled together under a deep blue evening sky." Music critic Will Friedwald says it's "a slightly offbeat title concept for a song about the night--usually, songwriters, including but not limited to Irving Berlin, describe the daytime skies as being blue--but make no mistake: this is a song about a nocturnal encounter, hence the blue blanket of stars." Dale Evans sings the song under an evening sky to Roy Rogers and then Trigger in the film Bells of Rosarita (1945). Frank Sinatra performed it in 1955 on his NBC Radio Network series To Be Perfectly Frank; that version appeared on the 1991 album Perfectly Frank: Live Broadcast Performances, 1953-1955. (en)
