Distributor: Infinity Entertainment Gr Notes: The Collector's Choice anthology THE COMPLETE CHRISTMAS COLLECTION contains all of the holiday material recorded by Doris Day at Columbia Records. The 22-track anthology features the entirety of 1964's THE DORIS DAY CHRISTMAS ALBUM along with 10 songs released as singles and on compilation albums between 1946 and 1959, along with two previously unreleased songs. Highlights include "Be A Child At Christmastime" and a warm rendition of the classic "Silver Bells."
Regarded as a beloved film icon, the effervescently blonde Doris Day was a sort of Betty to Marilyn Monroe's Veronica, and starred in a series of popular movie romps from the early 1950s through the early `60s. But before that, she'd had a flourishing career as a radio personality and vocalist, most notably with bandleader Les Brown. She enjoyed several big hits, including the sweet singalong "Que Sera Sera" and her signature tune "Sentimental Journey," which she recorded several times. For the most part, Day retired from moviemaking and recording on the cusp of the `70s, during which her appeal was not in step with the zeitgeist, and has only reemerged professionally a few times since.
