Notes: Includes liner notes by Didier C. Deutsch. Digitally remastered by Mark Wilder (1992, Sony Music Studios, New York). These songs remain lasting favorites of Doris Day's career; everybody will recognize one or two. She brought out their elegance and made them memorable. These songs will always be associated with Day's sunny voice, but underneath the sunshine lies complexity and artistry that even those who feel they know this star well will wish to reacquaint themselves with. Her way of executing phrases is simple and direct, playing with neither beat nor rhythm. From her earliest Number One hit, "Sentimental Journey," her technique is measured and deliberate, yet feels comfortable. "Secret Love," a song she reportedly recorded in one take, reveals what a musical natural she was, as she effortlessly changes from soft to bold at the song's bridge.

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.
