Product Description

"Stranger in Paradise" is a popular song from the musical Kismet (1953), credited to Robert Wright and George Forrest. Like almost all the music in that show, the melody was adapted from music composed by Alexander Borodin (18331887), in this case, the "Gliding Dance of the Maidens", from the Polovtsian Dances in the opera Prince Igor (1890). The song in the musical is a lovers' duet and describes the transcendent feelings that love brings to their surroundings. Later versions were mostly edited to be sung by male solo artists. A popular adaptation of Borodin's theme from Prince Igor titled "My Fantasy" which used the same melody as "Stranger in Paradise" was recorded by Artie Shaw and sung by Pauline Byrne in 1940, though the lyrics differ completely from "Stranger in Paradise".

Richard Kiley and Doretta Morrow performed the song in the original cast of Kismet (1953). Vic Damone and Ann Blyth performed the song in the 1955 film. The most popular version was sung by Tony Bennett (1953), but other versions by The Four Aces (backed by the Jack Pleis Orchestra) and Tony Martin also received popular favor in 1953. Bennett's version reached number one in the UK Singles Chart in May 1955.
