"Stranger in Paradise" is a popular song.
It was from the 1953 musical Kismet and is credited to Robert Wright and George Forrest. Like all the music in that show, the melody was in fact based on music composed by Alexander Borodin, in this case, Borodin's Polovetsian Dances.
The most popular version was sung by Tony Bennett, but other versions by The Four Aces and Tony Martin also received popular favor in 1954.
Thirteen years earlier, Artie Shaw's 1940 recording of "My Fantasy" (credited to composers Whiteman-Meskitt-Edwards) has a virtually identical tune to "Stranger In Paradise".
More recent versions are from Ray Conniff and the British string quartet bond.
