If you ever forget just how sexy Doris Day could sound on record, think back to this classic. Recorded with Les Brown's band, Day was, essentially, just a pretty girl singing in front of a big band at this point of her career. But this slow and sensual tune captured the public's imagination, and it was unofficially adopted by returning World War II...
Day made her film debut in "Romance on the High Seas" in 1948, and instantly became a big-screen star. More importantly for music lovers, the film introduced this sweet ballad, which quickly became a standard. Perhaps more than any of her other hit records, this tune perfectly encapsulates her ability to sound like she's singing just to you. No. 2 ...
Thanks to the influence of record exec Mitch Miller, Columbia Records artists were pumping out tons of fluff in the early '50s. People like Frankie Laine, Rosemary Clooney and Tony Bennett all handled the material with varying degrees of success, but Day manages to take this inconsequential bit of nonsense and turn it into a tune that genuinely swi...
Taken from the soundtrack of "Calamity Jane," the song reaches blissful proportions whenDay reaches the song's crescendo ("Now I shout it from the highest hills"). But notice how she returns to a more intimate style on the very next line ("Even told the golden daffodils.") It's almost like a one-act play in less than four minutes. No. 1 in 1954.
For better or worse, this singalong tune emerged as Day's signature song. She even resurrected it in the 1960s as the theme tune to her CBS sitcom. Written by Jay Livingston and Ray Evans for Alfred Hitchcock's "The Man Who Knew Too Much," Day performs the song repeatedly in the film; so much so, in fact, that it actually starts to annoy before the...
The soundtrack to one of her best films, "Love Me or Leave Me" is essentially a master-class in pop singing. Day handles a variety of classic tunes made popular by Ruth Etting. Sorry to Miss Etting, but Day pretty much owns everything she sings here. Her version of "Shaking the Blues Away," backed by an explosive arrangement, is downright exciting....
Recorded with Paul Weston's orchestra, this is deep, lush and moody, the kind of album that rivals Sinatra's best work at the time. Day is simply luminous as she works her way through 12 standards, often loosely connected by themes of night skies. Pay attention to a playful "Dream a Little Dream of Me," which just seems to glimmer. 1957.
Day's jazziest long-player was this collaboration with Andre Previn, in which she proved again what a commanding rhythmic singer she could be. Backed only by Previn's piano (with some support from bassist Red Mitchell and drummer Frank Capp), this was the leanest-sounding album she ever cut. That only served to showcase the richness of her voice an...
Doris Day recorded a Latin album? Yep, and it's gorgeous. Recorded during a Latin-music craze in the mid '60s, Day's offering was heavy with bossa nova rhythms — there are four Antônio Carlos Jobim songs — but she also heads to Mexico for "Be True to Me," a stunning English-language version of Eydie Gorme's classic "Sabor a Mi." You can imagine th...
