Doris Day was such a huge star in the early sixties that she recorded Jobim/bossa nova before anyone else in town, and before he hit big later with Girl from Ipanema... her Latin For Lovers album is probably her best, but Day By Night and Day By Day are up there...

A few samplings in remembering Doris Day. May she rest in peace now that she is reunited with her son Terry Melcher...

We remember you, Doris; thank you for the sweetness and joy.

From “The Man Who Knew Too Much”

Throughout the filming, Doris Day became increasingly concerned that Sir Alfred Hitchcock paid more attention to camera set-ups, lighting, and technical matters than he did to her performance. Convinced that he was displeased with her work, she finally confronted him. His reply was, “My dear Miss Day, if you weren’t giving me what I wanted, then I would have to direct you!”

I can’t even begin to choose.

“Secret Love”

Virtually all the renditions on “Moonlight Bay” series. I absolutely adore the “Till We Meet Again” with her and Gordon MacRae.

“Sentimental Journey”
