That is Doris Day.

The voice seems to be Ella but is pitched a little higher and narrower than her recorded version imho .
The background arrangement is not hers .

 

[Deplorable Yankee]

Ella
The youngsters on youtube get shit wrong all the time

I found a list of not all but 85 of Doris Days recordings and Blue Moon is not among those. It stated there 8 more recordings not listed. So maybe the video in post 1 maybe as deplorable said in above post.

Thanks for the opinions all. I am going over to YouTube and share information .

Doris Day had a lighter voice, Ella was smooth as glass. Also Ella makes the song sway.

They may be correct. At first blush it sounded like Doris Day to me. I just ran both videos through SoundHound and it came back with Ella Fitzgerald both times...

In the list of songs recorded by Doris Day, Blue Moon is not among them...

My research assistant opines "
Ella Fitzgerald recorded "Blue Moon" in 1956 as part of her album Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Rodgers and Hart Song Book

Doris Day, on the other hand, never released a widely known version of "Blue Moon" before that date, and there is no record of her having recorded it earlier.

So, Ella Fitzgerald sang "Blue Moon" first between the two."
