"In the Misty Moonlight" is a country song written by Cindy Walker.
One of the first singers to record the song in 1964 was Jim Reeves: it is included on his posthumous album The Jim Reeves Way . There also have been many other artists who have covered the song, but the two most successful versions were recorded by Dean Martin and Jerry Wallace.
Wallace's version was a No. 19 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 when his version was released in 1964. Martin's version was released as a single in 1967. Billboard predicted it would reach the top 60, saying "...country ballad gets a strong pop treatment from Martin that will send it spiraling up the Hot 100 in short order." [1] The single went to number one on the Easy Listening chart and number forty-six on the Billboard Hot 100. [2] The song was Martin's fifth and final number one on the Easy Listening chart.
