I failed to express my self clearly. I meant to say that I have always been surprised that no recording of it has ever achieved real fame despite all the greats having a go, eg, Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Mel Torme etc.
I picked up the following extract from Google which may interest the Haiku lovers:
"These lyrics are from Moonlight in Vermont, by John Blackburn. I wonder if the lyricist knew he was also composing some very nice kigo in the process?
-Tak
(Autumn)
pennies in a stream falling leaves ~ a sycamore moonlight in vermont
(Winter)
icy finger waves ski trails on a mountainside snowlight in vermont
(Summer)
evening summer breeze warbling of a meadowlark moonlight in vermont "

Aha! I'm with you now.
Don't ask me what a "kigo" is!
the_wild_iris explains it better in her essay, but the kigo is the 'season word' that haiku conventionally contain, either the name of the season, or something traditionally associated with it.
