April In Paris/Young At Heart

Performer: Doris Day
Producer: Dan Rivard (Compilation)
Distributor: Gotham Distributing Corp.

Notes: 2 LPs on 1 CD: APRIL IN PARIS (1952)/YOUNG AT HEART (1954). Personnel: Doris Day; Frank Sinatra. Recording information: 07/30/1945-09/24/1954. This Collectables reissue combines similar Doris Day recordings from the early- to mid- '50s as she metamorphosed from a big band singer to a leading lady in Hollywood. Originally released on Columbia Records, these 18 tracks are taken from such classic American musicals as April in Paris ("That's What Makes Paris Paree"), Young at Heart ("Someone To Watch Over Me"), The West Pointe Story ("You Love Me"), and an alternate take of "I Speak to the Stars" from Lucky Me. Although not essential, this is a respectable reissue of which fans of traditional pop should be aware. ~ Al Campbell

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.
