Song of India (song)
"Song of India" is an popular song adapted from the aria "Pesni︠a︡ indiĭskogo gosti︠a︡" from Rimsky-Korsakov's 1896 opera Sadko. In January 1937, Tommy Dorsey recorded an instrumental jazz arrangement featuring Bunny Berigan on trumpet, which became a jazz standard. Coupled with "Marie", the 78 rpm disc (Victor #25523) was a major hit for Dorsey, containing two of his most enduring recordings on one record, and which helped make him and his band into a household name as a popular music artist in the United States.
