"Moscow Nights" was written by Russian Soviet composer Vasily Solovyov-Sedoi and poet Mikhail Matusovsky in 1955 with the title "Leningrad Nights". It is thought that they changed the title and lyrics at the request of the Soviet Ministry of Culture. In 1956, the song was recorded by Vladimir Troshin of the Moscow Art Theatre for a scene in a documentary and, since that record received considerable radio play, the song became popular in the Soviet Union.

In January 1961, The New Orleans Syncopators, a Dutch jazz combo, recorded the song under the title "Midnight in Moscow" using a Dixieland arrangement by their leader Jan Burgers.

Another very popular, and rousing, Dixieland rendition was laid down by The Village Stompers for their 1963 album "Washington Square".

Paul Whiteman and His Orchestra recorded a foxtrot arrangement of "Song of India" in 1921.

These two recordings are considered by Jazz historians as among Dorsey's best. Certainly, they cemented Dorsey as one of the top bands of the Swing era.
