When My Blue Moon Turns to Gold Again

"When My Blue Moon Turns to Gold Again" is a song written by Wiley Walker and Gene Sullivan in 1940.

According to Gene Sullivan, the song, “When my Blue Moon Turns To Gold Again,” was written out of necessity.

The Columbia A & R man, Art Satherley, trashed most of the tunes we recorded and we had to learn six new songs in one day.

So I started to try to write songs.” “During that time, I was moving my family and everything we owned in our car from Lubbock Texas to Oklahoma City for a new job.

And that’s where I got the idea for ‘When My Blue Moon Turns To Gold Again.’ And I wrote that song on that trip.”[1] One historian noted that "their disc is said to have sold millions".
