He'll be no stranger in heaven R.I.P.
I kept playing this for my Dad during his final months, before he died last August, aged 92. It was a song he had loved for a long time, but not heard for years. My Mum followed him just 2 months later. This song will always remind me of Dad. About half an hour ago, I had just returned from the sad task of doing some clearing at my parents' empty house, when I heard the cricket commentators talking about an American singer who'd had "a good innings". I guessed that it was Tony Bennett who had died. Sad news, but a long and successful career.
Bought this for my grandmother when I was a boy in the 1950s. Every time I hear it I think of her. Loved my Nan.
RIP Anthony Benedetto. May you rest in the everlasting paradise 🖖
Nobody sang this song better than Tony here. Nobody.
Thank you Jim for burying Vinny and bringing me here.
My father loved this guy from uk
The great Russian composer Borodin, and the songwriters Wright/Forrest meet the wonder that is Tony Bennett, possibly the best-loved singer in the world...the result is thrillingly romantic.
I'm listening to various Tony Bennett songs and serenading to my husband in heaven. Letting him know, how much I love and miss him. We were always listening to Tony Bennett.
Rest In Paradise, Mr. Bennett. 😢 Thank you for the music! This is one of my absolute favourite songs.
I had the pleasure of meeting him in 2007. Such a kind man. He will be remembered for a very long time. 😢
One of the greatest voices to graced the Earth. You will be missed Tony. This one of my favourites. RIP
Came here to say rest in peace. Thanks for the music Tony, enjoy paradise.

This is such a beautiful song. We lost one of the greats today. Rest well, Tony.
My grandma used to sing me this song. love you Mama, can;t wait to hold your hand in paradise again.
Unfortunately, the composer is not mentioned, but he deserves the majority of the credit: Alexander Porfiryevich Borodin, born in 1833 in Saint Petersburg, died in 1887. The complete piece can be found with the keyword “Polovtsian Dances”.
