Felicia Sanders (born Felice Schwartz; April 26, 1921[1] – February 7, 1975) was a singer and musician of traditional pop.
She took them to her friend, jazz musician and bandleader Benny Carter, who thought enough of her talent to recommend her to Mitch Miller, Columbia Records' artist and repertory director.
She had been paid only union scale and her name appeared below Faith's in small letters, but the record became a chart-topper.
Just before the record was released Sanders was hired by New York's famous Blue Angel Supper Club, and she played there for a long time, being the first singer to perform the song "In Other Words (Fly Me to the Moon)"[citation needed] — although she did not record it until several other singers had done so.
[5] Miller kept finding other songs to have her sing, but only one other scored among the Top 30: "Blue Star", based on the theme from the NBC-TV drama series, Medic.
