Synopsis

Album Description
60 classics on 3 CDs! originally released to coincide with her 80th birthday (she was born April 3rd, 1924). She was one of Hollywood's biggest stars of the 1950s and especially the 1960s. The Doris Day Show was a television success from 1968 to 1973. Because she has been in retirement and out of the public eye for the past two decades, many people forget that Doris Day was an altogether wonderful singer for such pop hits as `Secret Love' and her Oscar-winning `Que Sera, Sera (Whatever Will Be, Will Be)', which became her signature tune. Includes 20-page booklet with liner notes and photographs. Highlights include 'Pillow Talk', 'Love Me Or Leave Me', 'Dream A Little Dream Of Me' and 'Sentimental Journey'. Sony.
 

CD Reviews

3CD boxset reaffirms Doris's legacy of song...

"This CD set was released to celebrate Doris's 80th birthday in April 2004.

The concept of this set was to give listeners a beautiful snap shot of the singer's career and versatility as a singer through three themed CDs. Included are 60 recordings which span from her 1940 recording debut with Les Brown and his band ("While The Music Plays On") to her last solo song for Columbia Records in 1966 ("Caprice").



Overall you are in for a treat - as never before has Doris's official label Sony Music pushed out the boat with such time and care! This boxed set really does try to give you everything in one package such as: anecdotal stories about each song, a mini biography, full Columbia album discography, tributes from many of Doris's peers and friends, plus a special message which Doris wanted her fans world-wide to read!



Alongside the 2004 edition of Eric Braun's bestselling biography "DORIS DAY" (ISBN: 0752817159) these two new releases work well together in reminding you what a true star Doris Day is...



This CD set is a must for any lover of good music!!"

"If you are a "Doris Fan" you definitely need to buy this set of CD's. No matter how many years pass, nor how many new performers come along, no one sings a song like Doris Day. It is no wonder after all these years, there are still new fans being born to her music each day. Such a talent,...such a voice.

And for those who have never heard her sing, this is a good way to get started. I loved every song.

"Huge collection of absolutely beautiful songs. If you are a Doris Day fan, this collection is the one you HAVE to have. It's a great collection to sing along with. You'll recognize soooo many of the songs from her movies, Like "With a Song in My Heart" from when her and Kirk Douglas did "Young Man With a Horn". Just listening to this song brings the movie right back to me. That BEAUTIFUL trumpet, while Doris sings! And there are so many other greats. When Doris played Ruth Edding in "Love Me or Leave Me" with Jimmie Cagney, she belted out "Love Me or Leave Me". I think "I'll Never Stop Loving You" was from that movie too. "On Moonlight Bay" was from the movie with Gordon McRae and "Que Sera, Sera" from the Hitchcock movie with Jimmy Stewart. Oh, and let's not forget songs from the movie "Calamity Jane" like "Black Hills of Dakota" and "Secret Love". There are 60 songs in all! Let's not forget "Sentimental Journey, Again, I'll Never Smile Again, Lullaby of Broadway, By the Light of the Silvery Moon" and so many more.



Like I said, if you're a Doris Day fan, get this one!"
