Yes, I noticed that in some of Al’s earliest recordings he got the whole song to sing rather than a verse or two which he got in the 30s dance band songs as the “vocal refrain.”
I agree that “Blue Moon” is a great recording. His voice and delivery is gorgeous! The best version I’ve heard of this song.
However I think “You Opened My Eyes” beats it for vocal mastery.
