Composed for orchestra, The Girl in Satin was completed for recording by the composer on September 8, 1953, in analog mono sound, where it was first performed. It was 2 minutes and 15 seconds long. It was recorded in analog stereo sound by the composer on May 28, 1959.

Composer Quote: "I personally feel that "Blue Tango" is a splendid piece of music, otherwise I would have thrown it into the waste basket and not tried to find a publisher and record it. But as a composer I do not have any clue why the audience likes it so much better than my other tango, "The Girl in Satin", which in my opinion is as beautiful."
