Greatest Hits

Performer: Doris Day
Distributor: Sony Music Distribution (

Notes: The songs included here are all fine, but Doris Day's voice is the prime factor in the glory of this music--an observation illustrated by the fact that Day herself didn't care for "Que Sera Sera," one of her biggest hits. "It's Magic" features her voice in such captivating splendor that the lyric's meaning becomes secondary and incidental. Soft and seductive, Day's voice affects the listener in ways words fail to do. The quintessential all-American girl next door, when she croons "Secret Love," she's more than a slice of Americana; she's out of this world, blessed with a stellar voice that warms the heart like sunshine.

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.
