The
musical
Annie Get Your Gun is loosely based on the
life of American sharpshooter Annie Oakley
(1860-1926).
It was songwriter
Jerome Kern who was originally tasked with the job
of writing the music for the stage production. The
project was however passed to Irving Berlin after
Kern unexpectedly died.
In 1946, the show opened to glowing
reviews on both sides of the Atlantic. A few years later Metro Goldwyn
Mayer (MGM) adapted the show for the big-screen.
The film version starred actress Betty Hutton and became one of
the most successful musical-movies of the 1950s.
A decade later, it was Doris's turn to record a new version
of this classic score
with her Columbia
stable mate Robert Goulet. The two singers laid there vocals separately
with Doris completing her contribution for the
project on the 8 October 1962. The
orchestra was most probably overdubbed in New York.
As a final fact for
this project the song "I Got The Sun In The
Mornin'" is actually Doris's most recorded tune.
She cut no less than three versions of it: her first
with Les Brown in 1946, then in 1960 for her solo
album Show Time
and finally for this release. |
