Stranger in Paradise

Tony Bennett All songs A–Z

"Stranger in Paradise" is a popular song from the 1953 musical Kismet, with music credited to Robert Wright and George Forrest. The composers adapted the melody from Alexander Borodin's "Gliding Dance of the Maidens" from the Polovtsian Dances in the opera Prince Igor. Originally a lovers' duet in the musical, later recordings were typically rearranged as solo performances by male artists.
