Performer: Doris Day
Producer: Allen Stanton
Distributor: Gotham Distributing Corp.

Notes: 2 LPs on 1 CD: SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY (1965)/LATIN FOR LOVERS (1965). Originally released on Columbia. Liner Note Author: George T. Simon. Recording information: 09/11/1964-11/09/1964. Arranger: Mort Garson. Doris Day's Sentimental Journey/Latin for Lovers is comprised of two mid-'60s LPs, the first a look back at Day's mid-'40s prime, the second a studied glance at the then-current vogue for Latin material that overtook dozens of other vocalists (among the best were contributions by Peggy Lee and Mel Torm�). As the genre proved for most traditional pop vocalists, Latin for Lovers was an easy, relaxed session for Day, a natural for laid-back material from the sunny climes of Rio: "Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars," "How Insensitive," "Slightly Out of Tune," and "Fly Me to the Moon" (hey, if Astrud Gilberto could do it, why not her?). ~ John Bush

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.
