Midnight In Moscow.
- 17 years ago
The song was originally written as "Leningradskie Vechera" ("Leningrad Nights" in English) by two well-established authors, composer Vasily Solovyov-Sedoy and poet Mikhail Matusovsky in 1955. At the request of the Soviet Ministry of Culture the song title was changed to "Podmoskovnye Vechera" ("Moscow Nights" in English) and the original lines of the song were also changed.
The British jazz group Kenny Ball and his Jazzmen had a hit with the song in 1961 under the title "Midnight in Moscow", and film exists which shows them actually playing it at a concert in Moscow.
