Four Aces - Stranger In Paradise

- Опубликовано: 12 мар 2009
- This ballad from the musical 'Kismet' was covered by many top artistes of the 1950s, and in the UK no less than 6 versions were placed in the Top Twenty best sellers, including Bing Crosby, Eddie Calvert, Don Cornell, Tony Martin, Tony Bennett and the only vocal group to chart - The Four Aces. Tony Bennett's version was the highest placed, but this group - led by Al Alberts - were also high in the UK's Top Ten (1955), as they had already been in the USA (1953). This rare TV performance must at the time have greatly contributed to the success of their version.

Brings back memories! We were also young once!!❤
BACK AT 84 & STILL SO FULL OF MEMORIES!!!
The Four Aces set most of the standards for many of the groups of that era. They were one of the Best Groups of all time. Five million selling hits, four of which were used as the theme songs for popular moves during their career. Their harmony, style of early 50's music along with their popularity, it can easily be said that it just doesn't get any better than these guys. Ron
I was a senior in high school when this came out--great memories of the 50's: Girls, cars, girls, college, girls, the U.S. Navy, girls, great music...
We are so fortunate to have been born in the era of." good" music! ❤
I. Wish I Could Go Back In those Days So Wonderful

No. The opera world knows well the "Prince Igor" by Borodin and the leitmotiv of the opera has been used for "stranger in paradise" song. The point is: whatever is russian origin is not easily accepted...more the mass has no knowledge of classic music.
Oh, how I love the 4 Aces and all their hits!!!
BECAUSE they ONLY are "PERFECT 4", MY DARLIN'!!!
Old songs always make me teary. And it always remind me of the happy past.
Love The Four Aces recording of this song. My memory goes back to when this first came out.
First year of college in 1953, this song always makes me remember my old friends and girl friends.
I am old fashioned and am proud to be Now think how important this song was and still is New sounds New Musicians and a lot of talent out there I respect but this kind of arrangement and singing brings out the reason music like this is always and will be in style thanks for playing greatness
Feel the same
I am so thankful that I grew up in this era and have my fond memories to dwell on.
Me too
I just picked up an old cassette player. Looking to test it out, I found some of my dads old tapes. The first one was these guys. Blessed to have found the four aces! I’m 26 years old haha
I met Al a number of times, and he was always a gracious, friendly person.
Al was such a fantastic, one of kind man, and his singing with The Four Aces made for an extraordinary group!
It is indeed sad that Al has left us.
I'm not that old but I sure miss all these beautiful groups with their beautiful music- RIP guys !
An Absolute Tressure.
This Music Is Just Absolutely Beautiful.
And Their Harmony.
The Musical Instruments Are Exceptional.
Beautiful song, beautiful blending of voices and I love this song the first time I've heard it!
Can`t get enough of the Four Aces. Love those guys...
Thanks parents for singing and bringing such classic hits into our home and even singing them with your sweet voices. Also thanks for trying to explain to us kids who they were and what the song meant. I can still recognize many of them. You knew your hits and had fun singing some in the chorus. Good music and channel.
BEAUTIFUL
This song is full love and yet theres no word of love in this song. Love it!
Not even a "Royal Flush" could beat The 4 ACES. Loved them & still do. My favourite group singers. Thanks for the legacy of your wonderful melodies still being played todate. REST IN PEACE THE 4 ACES. Renee M.
When i was 9 years old i knew this song by heart, i really love this song, it brings back some wonderful memory in my hay days..
Yes, Connie, me too! The Four Aces before the birth of Rock and Roll, no drugs, a sweet time that we were fortunate to experience!
One of the best groups. Recorded the greatest love song of all time "love is a many splendored thing"
That is beautiful Cyndi. Long live romance. Seems like today true romance is missing.
Quelles merveilleuses chansons et souvenirs sentimentaux à la pelle
The Four Aces were just the best. They exemplified that entire era for me. Does any one have "I Only Know that I Love you"
A beautiful version of a beautiful song!
So very nice, I remember this time in my life,so real.
These people capture the true grandeur of love and oh! in such a nonchalant and casual manner...
this was my father's favorite group. he died 25 years ago. he would play their music on 8 tracks in his Lincoln Continental doing 80 on the garden state parkway and we would sing along. I think about that almost every day.
MARAVILLOSO....FOUR ACES👍👍👍🙋......CHILE JUNIO 2020...
Thank hou Kester1940 for these rare FOUR ACES CDs.
Wonderful this is my favourite song 77 and still love these memories bless you all for the sing along.👏👏👏💙💙💙
Goosebumps and tears to this music. May their songs live on forever.
wonderfully understated
HorseSister..your parents will always live in you and they will live as long as this song is sung...you are truly a good person. May your life be blessed with happiness and friends
I thank my father for introducing to beautiful music like this when I was only 6 years old and I am 68 now!
Thank you for the 50s',60s',70s' group
I watched long ago a film of the same title and it had this theme song. I recall my Dad took me to the cinema to watch it as i was a child then. But I liked it so much and had not Heard it in over 60 years. And it is nice to hear it again. The lyrics are somewhat dreamy and nice. Beautiful song.
Remember this song in Coquimbo City.Chile
Aunque han pasado bastantes años, saludos desde Santiago de Chile. La melodía de esta bella canción fue tomada de la Ópera "El Príncipe Igor" de Alexander Borodin y es simplemente maravillosa.
Mais uma excelente interpretação deste fabuloso e inolvidável tema musical !
The MOST HARMONIOUS GROUP of all times ...by 2108!!! GOD gave a GIFT to these 4 boys: THE VOICE!!!!
Mysterious and Wonderful indeed. Would we all be so blessed to share that connection. Many condolences on your loss.
93 and still listening beautiful music........

My Dad's favourites!
16 years old when I first heard this . My heart had no calluses then
just GREAT
This was my parent's song. They were married on Valentine's Day in 1954. They used to play this record and many others when my brothers and I were growing up..This brings back many memories.
+cyndi claire... My hubby and I were also married February 14 1954. We had 61 years together. I lost him in April. ... The music from that period brings back happy memories.
I'm so sorry for your loss, Charlotte. Thank you for sharing this with me.. My parents had only 24 years together, my dad passed away in 1979, and my mom passed away in 2014. She never stopped loving and missing him.
+cyndi claire ... Thank you Cyndi. ... At least at my age, I won't have so many years without him.
cyndi claire
cyndi claire
they will always be alive for those who admired their beautiful voice... they remain young..
Music from opera "Prince Igor" with "Polovtesian dances" by Alexander Borodin. I was enjoying the "Prince Igor" in Opera Theatre in Kiev. Wonderfull opera , music and ballet !!! Easy to link the leitmotif of the opera that repeats several times, throughout the song.
Awesome... Love & light from Brazil 🇧🇷
My IDOL FOUR ACES
Considering today's acrimonious climate, I wish I had never left the early 50's.
I WAS A KID IN THE 2ND OR 3RD GRADE WHEN THIS SONG WAS RELEASED ........... OUR MUSIC TEACHER WOULD MAKE US SING THE SONG....GREAT MEMORIES FROM THE 50'S.THE FOUR ACES WERE GREAT.
One of the great groups of all time.
Ok, I just favorited this. Am I getting old or what? I actually think its kind of funny, maudlin and over-the-top. But I love the song. And I love the idea of four guys getting together and crooning like this. Wish I had three vocally talented buddies I could emote with!
Here I am listening again. Got it in my favorites. But has anyone here listened to The Ames Brothers? Truly beautiful Harmony. I love the Four Aces. There were quite a few groups that sang such beautiful songs. Anybody have a listen to Gordon McRae. Wow what a voice & he was gorgeous to look at.. And please tell me that all of you have had a listen to Sha na na with JOHNNY CONTARDO as the lead singer & of course Bowzer!!
Beautiful song that takes me back to my youth
musica linda . Muita saudade. Obrigado . Carlos
beautiful memories indeed
I remember this song, when my father bought a guadrosonic stereo,, with long playing album of four Ace's, I'm 12
what a beautiful song xx
Aaah, the 50s! What a song!!!
Every time I hear their song I got goosebumps, make me sad and happy at the same time that reminds of my previous love with women I met and loved.
Ihanaa fiftaria, thank U the memories!!
Thanks! I love this song since I was a child.
Hermosos recuerdos de juventud
Best, best version ever! You must have his way of shaping those notes to really make this song. I love these guys.

A great song with four aces
Take my hand,
I'm a stranger in paradise -
All lost in a wonderland,
A stranger in paradise.
If I stand starry eyed
That's a danger in paradise
Mortals who stand beside
An angels like us -
I saw her face
And I ascended
Out of the common place,
Into the rarest
Somewhere in space ....
I hang suspended?
Until I know
There's a chance that she cares.
Won't you answer this fervent prayer?
Of a stranger in paradise!!
Don't send me in dark despair!!
From all that I hunger for?
But open your angel's arms,
To this strangers in paradise
And tell us that we need be
Strangers no more!!
I saw her face,
And I ascended
Out of the common place
Into the rarest -
Somewhere in space
I hang suspended
Until I know -
There's a chance that she cares
Won't you answer this fervent prayer?
Of a stranger in paradise
Don't send me in dark despair
From all that I hunger for
But open your angel's arms
To this strangers in paradise
And tell us that we need be
Strangers no more .....
I loved this song. ❤️❤️❤️❤️💃💃👍
