Stardust (pjesma)

"Stardust" je američka zabavna pjesma koju je godine 1927. komponirao Hoagy Carmichael kao instrumentalnu kompoziciju, a godine 1929. joj stihove dodao Mitchell Parish. Carmichael je prvu verziju snimio u studiju diskografske kuće Gennett Records u Richmondu u državi Indiana. Pjesma, koja se često naziva "pjesma o pjesmi o ljubavi",^[1] je koristila idiosinkratičku melodiju srednjim tempom, postavši s vremenom standardom američke po-muzike, te se smatra jednom od najsnimanijih pjesma 20. vijeka, s preko 1500 snimki.^[2] Godine 2004. je Carmichaelova originalna verzija iz 1927. odabrana kao jedna od 50 kompozicija Nacionalnog diskografskog registra u Kongresnoj biblioteci.

↑ Sudhalter 2003, p.XI. See also p.123: "..."Star Dust" is obviously a song about a song—a genre relatively rare in American popular music. There had been such songs before: Irving Berlin's 1909 "That Mesmerizing Mendelssohn Tune" (about the great German composer's famed Spring Song) is one example among many. But none had been a major song about a song—particularly a song that didn't actually exist. This was new."
