. . "James Moody created his improvised solo in 1949 on a visit to Sweden. Moody\u2019s version clearly shows the influence of Charlie Parker. In 1952, jazz singer Eddie Jefferson wrote lyrics to this improvisation by Moody, a practice known as vocalese. This particular arrangement of the song did not come to be known by its now common title of \"Moody's Mood for Love\" until King Pleasure released a very popular vocal version in 1954. Following King Pleasure's successful hit version of \"Moody's Mood for Love\" Jimmy McHugh the original author of \"I'm in the Mood for Love\" sued for copyright infringement and won a partial victory in court. He and Moody eventually agreed to share the proceeds on sales of any versions of the tune. King Pleasure's version included vocals by Blossom Dearie as well as instrumental contributions from Teacho and Band. Other artists who later released renditions of the song include Van Morrison, George Benson, Aretha Franklin from \"Hey Now Hey (The Other Side of the Sky)\", Queen Latifah, Tito Puente, Kermit Ruffins, The Ray Gelato Giants, Amy Winehouse, Chuck Brown, Mina, The Guess Who and Georgie Fame. In 1995 Quincy Jones released a multi-harmony version of the track with his album Q's Jook Joint featuring the artists Take 6 in collaboration with Brian McKnight. The Tony Award-winning musical Jersey Boys featured the song. The song also has been featured on an episode of The Cosby Show, as well as in an early 1990s Gap television commercial . The lyrics are often incorrectly attributed to King Pleasure because he was the first to record it. However, some sources report that when Pleasure was asked to write more lyrics to solos he confessed that he had not written this one. He had heard Jefferson perform it in a jazz club some years before and asked permission to reproduce it. James Moody later hired Jefferson to come on the road with him. Jefferson also appears on several recordings with Moody. Another repercussion of Jefferson\u2019s lyrical marriage to Moody\u2019s solo was the impact it had on jazz singer Jon Hendricks. The story goes that Hendricks was sitting in a caf\u00E9 when the King Pleasure recording of \"Moody\u2019s Mood\" came on the jukebox. According to Hendricks, he had been writing \u201Cunpopular\u201D songs for some time, but when he heard the recording and realized that it was a saxophone solo with words he decided to change his approach to songwriting. \u201CI didn\u2019t have to stop at 32 bars. Now I could write lyrics for all the parts in the orchestra.\u201D He went on to collaborate with the singer and arranger Dave Lambert and the singer Annie Ross to form the group Lambert, Hendricks & Ross. The group multi-tracked their voices and recorded the album Sing a Song of Basie in which they sang lyrics by Hendricks to the full arrangements of the Count Basie Orchestra (Ross singing all the trumpet parts, Hendricks singing the saxophone parts and Lambert singing the trombone parts). With the exception of a small rhythm section, all 13 horn parts were reproduced by the three voices dubbed over."@en . . . . . "Moody's Mood for Love"@en . .
