"The Surrey with the Fringe on Top" is a show tune from the 1943 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical Oklahoma!.[1][2] The piece was recorded in 1952 by jazz pianist Ahmad Jamal, which influenced trumpeter Miles Davis to include it in his repertoire in the 1950s,[3] which probably motivated other jazz musicians to play it.[4]
Other recordings
- Blossom Dearie recorded the song for her 1959 album Once Upon A Summertime[5]
