Bubblyrat - Indeed, "No other love have I" was adapted from "Beneath the southern cross" from Richard Rodgers TV score "Victoria by the sea".
"Stranger in Paradise" is a theme from the "Polovtian Dances" by Alexander Borodin.
Other examples (classical composers): "The world outside" (by "The Four Aces)is based on Richard Addinsell's "Warsaw Concerto". "Till the end of time" by Jerry Vale was taken from Chopin's Heroic Polonaise.
And here are a lot of other (non-classical) vocal remakes of instrumentals :
Because you're young - James Darren
Moonlight Serenade - Vaughn Monroe
Raunchy - Webb Pierce
Charmaine - The Bachelors
Take Five - Sarah Vaughn
In the Mood - Andrew Sisters
Washington Square - Ames Brothers
Apache - Sonny James
The Harry Lime Theme - Donald Peers
To be honest, I must confess that most of this wasn't what I did remember. Many thanks to the internet.
