The new WFMO X Music Savage Show “Song of the Week” spotlight shines down on the beautiful version of the classic number, “Everyone’s Gone To The Moon,” from Houston musician Robert Ellis. The single was released this week to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon launch which took place on July 16th, 1969.

“Everyone’s Gone To The Moon” was written and recorded by UK musician Jonathan King in 1965 and has been performed by so many amazing bands/musicians including The Flaming Lips, Bobby Womack, Percy Faith, and many more. However, it was the Nina Simone version that appeared on her stunning 1969 album *Nina Simone and Piano!* LP, which was taken as the inspiration behind Ellis’ version of the song. 

Following select Texas dates and an official after party for the Newport Folk Festival in Newport, RI, Ellis heads out on a European tour to support Eels in August. When he’s back in the states he’ll hit the road in support of Rufus Wainwright for select live dates in October. Do yourself a favor and if you see your city below get yourself a ticket and go!
