  • 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.

    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

      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.

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.

    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.

    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
