"Under the Bridges of Paris" is a 1931 popular song with music written by Vincent Scotto, the original French lyrics (entitled "Sous les ponts de Paris") by Jean Rodor, and English lyrics by Dorcas Cochran.
Recordings by both Eartha Kitt and Dean Martin charted in the United Kingdom in 1955, but failed to chart in the United States, though both were subsequently released as LP album tracks as well.
The recording by Eartha Kitt with Henri René and his orchestra and chorus was made in New York City on October 25, 1953. It was released by RCA Victor Records as catalog number 20-5502 (in USA)[1] and by EMI on the His Master's Voice label as catalog number B 10647.
The song was performed by Polish singer Violetta Villas during her Las Vegas shows in late 60s.
