give that gal a spotlight !!!

The Love Album by Doris Day features a great assortment of beautiful love songs by an underrated talent, Doris Day. Doris is in excellent form on this album and the artwork is very nicely done. I also think that the sound quality is excellent.

"For All We Know" is the first track; and Doris sings this beautifully. The musical arrangement has an elegant piano arrangement and the strings enhance the natural beauty of this number. Doris sings her heart out on "For All We Know" and this really tugs at my heartstrings when Doris sings this charming ballad. "Are You Lonesome Tonight?" features Doris front and center as she sings this classic pop vocal; this love song is heavenly when Doris caresses the lyrics beyond perfection. Doris sings "Are You Lonesome Tonight?" with great sensitivity and I love every minute of it!

Listen also for Doris on "Street Of Dreams;" this shines when Doris Day performs it with panache. Doris' timing and excellent diction really makes her delivery beautiful to listen to over and over again. "Life Is Just A Bowl Of Cherries" gets a slower tempo than I'm used to but Doris makes this work; and it holds its own very well. The sophisticated arrangement makes "Life Is Just A Bowl Of Cherries" even better!

"All Alone" has a very pretty melody; and Doris really sings with this with all her heart and soul. I truly enjoy hearing Doris Day singing "All Alone." Great! There's also "Wonderful One;" Doris delivers this with a certain sensitivity I rarely hear or enjoy. The musical arrangement that accompanies Doris fits in just right to make "Wonderful One" a very special number.

"If I Had My Life To Live Over/Let Me Call You Sweetheart" sparkles as Doris gives this the full royal treatment; these gorgeous ballads sound as if they were written expressly for Doris; she makes them sound so fresh and new with her very fine voice! Doris' voice is truly a finely tuned instrument. "It's Magic" is a song Doris loved to sing; and she never misses a beat! The lush musical arrangement lacks nothing--it's all THAT good. The CD also ends nicely with Doris performing "Sentimental Journey;" she aces this easily and this classic love song never sounded better!

Overall, Doris Day fans will love this CD. People who like classic pop vocals and even the "oldies" will enjoy this album for many years to come.

Thank you, Doris!

A WORLD-CLASS SINGER AT THE TOP OF HER GAME

Doris Day is so often heralded for her movie star status that some folks forget she started out as big band singer as a teenager back in the 1940s with the Les Brown Band, scoring such hits as "Sentimental Journey." She went on to a solo recording career throughout the 1950s and into the 1960s before retiring from films and records in 1968 to move into television with "The Doris Day Show." The fact is, she should have kept singing, because her voice only became warmer and more expressive as this incredible album, from 1967, demonstrates. The material here is first-class -- evergreens hand-chosen by Doris. This 2006 release is the album's first issue in North America and includes three extra "bonus" tracks never released anywhere before - 1970 renditions of Day's old hits "Sentimental Journey" and "It's Magic" plus the gorgeous "Both Sides Now," written by Joni Mitchell. This Feinery/Concord release also has beautiful artwork and insightful liner notes by noted jazz writer Will Friedwald. Buy this CD and you'll be mesmerized by a female vocalist with natural talent singing some of the most romantic arrangements of beautiful songs imaginable. April 16, 2006

A HAND FULL OF STARS

This lady deserves more stars than anyone I can think of. She could do it all. What a talent she was. There is no other voice as caressing and loving as that of Doris Day. I have the Bear collection of everything she ever laid on vinyl. BUT I had to purchase this album for the additional songs taken from her TV Special. What a treat. Wonderful sound.

To experience a truly wonderful talent with one, it not the best voice ever on records, spend the 15 or so bucks for this cd and see what all of us Doris Day lovers have known for a long time.
Who can sing like this today. The art is lost. March 10, 2006
