Eddie Jefferson then wrote lyrics to Moody's sax solo, and titled it Moody's Mood for Love. The first vocal recording was made in 1954 by King Pleasure. The female vocal part on the original King Pleasure recording was Blossom Dearie. Since then, the vocal version of Moody's Mood for Love has become a jazz standard in its own right, and has been recorded by many people.
