This Cd is a reissue of the 1958 Columbia album DORIS DAY'S GREATEST HITS. Released just before her major surge as the almost unrivaled queen of the American screen via PILLOW TALK, LOVER COME BACK, MIDNIGHT LACE, and other blockbuster films, this is a well chosen collection mixing Doris' most popular movie songs ("Love Me or Leave Me", "Teacher's Pet"), best-selling radio hits ("Everybody Loves a Lover", "A Guy is a Guy"), to legendary songs that qualify as both ("Secret Love", "Que Sera Sera"), and a couple of noteworthy covers of popular songs of the day. My favorite track here is Doris' breathtaking take on "Bewitched" from the musical PAL JOEY. You will never hear a better performance of this song - Doris is downright bewitching herself with this extraordinarily lovely vocal. She breathes new life into pop standards "When I Fall in Love" and "Lullaby of Broadway". There's also her very first hit as a solo star, the beautiful "It's Magic". All 12 songs are wonderful with wonderful performances.

The original vinyl album DORIS DAY'S GREATEST HITS enjoyed a long run in print and, incredibly, was Doris' only Columbia album still in print in the 1970's and 1980's. Today of course we have much more to choose from with dozens of Doris Day cds on the market but if you want the very cream of the crop you could hardly go wrong with this chestnut collection and it's very low price makes it ideal for giving as gift copies to turn friends into new fans of the greatest pop female vocalist of them all, Miss Doris Day.

Any fans of Doris Day old and new will love this CD. A must have for any long term fan.

I have always loved Doris Day's singing and I'm so glad to have found this CD on Amazon.com so I can enjoy it again.

A GOOD COMPILATION OF DORIS DAYS MOST POPULAR RECORDINGS. BRINGS BACK THE TIMES WHEN SINGERS COULD SING AND THE WORDS COULD BE UNDERSTOOD. PLEASANT BACK TO THE 50'S CD.

I found this CD to be of good quality. It is one of my old favorities, as I have owned it on 33 rpm, cassette, and now CD.

Those of my generation can't forget the evocative yet squeaky-clean sensation, in our youth, of Doris Day's hits (like Que Sera Sera), as well as her silly/charming movies. All of it is quite dated, including the arrangements, but well done in its way and plesantly nostalgic.

most songs were distinctly the same as original with older ones a little more scratchy.

I like the CD because I have always liked Doris Day. I'm old.

The transaction was no problem, I ordered it and it came. No big deal.

Doris Day remains an all time top singer. This music CD whirls one back to the days when life was sane in comparison to the world we live in now. It's a feel good CD if you listened to it "back in the day"!

Was as promised. Came in a timely manner. Would do business with them again. Thank You
