Baubles, Bangles And Beads (Wright-Forrest) by The Kirby Stone Four, orchestra and chorus conducted by Jimmy Carroll
Like “Stranger In Paradise,” this song began as a melody by Borodin from the Polovtsian Dances sequence of his opera “Prince Igor,” given lyrics for the hit Broadway musical “Kismet.” Though Kirby Stone swings it here, the tune is more frequently presented as a ballad.
Chart Peaks: Billboard #25 (radio), #50 (Top 100), Music Vendor #25, Cash Box #31
