The lyrics to this Calamity Jane-era recording by Doris came to mind ... and I was surprised to actually not being able to find them anywhere on the Internet! THIS TOO SHALL PASS AWAY (Ervin Drake; Irvin Graham; Jimmy Shirl) Recorded by Doris Day on July 17, 1953 The stormy clouds that hide the sun ...

Nice piece of work, Ania! Dziękuję!

Here's a chuckle -- another gem from Friedwald, this about Bing Crosby's recording of "Tell Me Why," which Doris sang in "On Moonlight Bay": Bing tried to "out-poignant" her rendition. A fascinating piece of information! I'm no expert of the recordings of Bing Crosby, so I had no idea that he had r...

Thanks Peter, for this very interesting listing of the UK radio broadcasts! Previously, I thought the original shows were broadcast in their entirety, but now it's clear that they also included newer recordings, so the UK series was decidedly different from the US series. Fascinating! Yeah, hopefull...

Hi Robert, Thanks for pointing out the David Hartman interview! I hadn't seen it before, but now I've watched all four parts. Very fascinating to hear their conversation, and I think Mr. Hartman asks questions, the answers of which are very interesting to hear, but not everyone would be comfortable ...

Just started watching on TCM the 1954 film noir Crime Wave which opened with a gas station being robbed while Doris Day is singing S' Wonderful. The gas station attendant is joyfully talking about Doris Day singing this song until the robbers hit him over the head. Another surprise in this film is ...

Thanks, Bryan, for the reply!

Well, like I said, I never saw "Fine and Dandy" performed in the film, but sometimes there are deleted scenes, that later show up on DVDs and such. But, of course, nothing can show up, if it was never recorded in the first place.

Is it known if "Fine and Dandy", a song featured on the Columbia album referring to this film, was also recorded for inclusion in the film? If so, is it known what happened to that performance, as I can't seem to find it when watching the film?

Aha, it's the very same contents, I hadn't realised. Thanks, Peter, for pointing that out!

JayWint, many thanks for your thoughts on this! It makes sense of course, that a different mixing (be it mono, stereo, or some other way) would make for a different listening experience. Although I guess for me, Doris' voice has always been in my center of attention anyway. :D But I do see your poin...

Johnny, thank you for your comments! Yes, it is truly enjoyable whenever a Doris Day recording comes your way, especially one that you haven't heard before. And, fortunately, even those recordings that are well known can be enjoyed again and again, and we can always find something new and interestin...

Just wanted to point those interested to this forthcoming Les Brown CD, planned for March 20, 2020 on the "Sounds of Yesteryear" label: https://www.amazon.com/Featuring-Doris-Brown-Band-Renown/dp/B083N39QT6/ref=sr_1_37 The listing above claims dates as January 15, 1945 and July 24, 1945, but judging...

Well, at least Doris did sing "People Will Say We're in Love", in her 1960 album Show Time.

With the last update as of today, this posting has reached a milestone, because as far as I know, the listing now compiles every issued recording by Doris Day. :D I would like to add, to this listing, also the rather vast number of unissued recordings, but that will take a longer time to do. In the ...

I have another question myself. Hopefully someone has an opinion! In 2018, the label SFE "Strike Force Entertainment", a sub-label to Cherry Red Records, issued a 3-disc edition of "Latin for Lovers". Details here: https://www.discogs.com/Doris-Day-Latin-For-Lovers/release/12813943. The first disc i...

Michael, thanks for your kind words and cheering-ons! :D --- Judy, many thanks again, for your research and thoughts! However, this time, I chose not to incorporate this information, as I simply am not convinced that any US Columbia 78's by Doris were issued after "Everybody Loves a Lover". Upon see...

Hi there Helena, Welcome to the forum! Yes, even the earlier recordings made by Doris are worthwhile, in my opinion. That goes for everything she did ... Some might think that melodies are simple, lyrics are silly or arrangements are bad, but I don't recall ever hearing anyone stating that Doris wou...

The latest update includes recordings made throughout 1959.

I have quite a lot of questions, so please make a search in your browser for this word, "question". Perhaps you know more about it?

Aah, thanks. Pleased to make your acquaintance, Judy.

Musiclover (I'm sorry, I don't know your name!), Many thanks for your comments! :) I am aware of these dates for the Soundies, however, I understand them to be dates of when these short films were copyrighted. Hence, they would have to have been shot/recorded before then, and possibly this took plac...

Thanks for all comments!

Now I've updated the listing up to mid-1953. Any and all comments are welcome.

Hello to Jane from Abruzzo! Welcome to the forum!

(Nice that even I, new as I am to this forum, get to welcome someone else!)

Thank you, Peter and Michael, for the welcomes!

As you can see, I have started publishing my list of recordings. Don't hesitate to help out with anything, big or small!

The objective of this listing is to make available a chronological (as accurate as possible) listing of all of Doris Day's recordings. As far as I know, I am herewith presenting all issued recordings, made from 1939 to 1985. In due time I am hoping to also include all known unissued recordings (a sm...

Well, I jumped in the deep end a bit, because it turns out I wasn't quite prepared yet, to publish want I have in mind.

But I'll try to do it in the next few days!
