Destination Moon is the fourth album by Canadian R&B singer Deborah Cox, released in June 2007 by Decca Records. It also pays tribute to legendary jazz singer Dinah Washington, and Cox calls it "a concept album that I've had in mind for years".^[2] Many of Washington's songs are reinterpreted on the album including the title track "Destination Moon". Most of the album was recorded live with a forty-piece orchestra and was produced and arranged by Rob Mounsey who has worked with the likes of Aaron Neville, Natalie Cole, and Rihanna, to name a few.

The week after its release, it peaked at number one on the iTunes Top Jazz Albums and number three on the Billboard Top Jazz Albums.
