On the year Doris
recorded her most successful single Que Sera Sera
she did this album! [in spring]
It was in the early
1950s that record executives began the idea of
establishing their most prominent stars as album
recording artists. That change of approach sparked
the birth of the concept album, which would contain
themed material that had lasting impact.
This would be
Doris’s first long play release to follow that lead.
Doris started recording for this project on the 17
September 1956. Paul Weston arranged and conducted
the sessions that took only three separate days to
complete. This was not the first time that Doris had
worked with Weston. The partnership between the
singer and musician had begun in April 1951. This
was when Weston produced,
On Moonlight Bay, a
spin-off album to her musical movie of the same
name. Weston’s production credits would then appear
on the majority of Doris’s releases until he left
Columbia Records in 1957.
The album Day by
Day
became one of Doris's most successful LPs from this
period of her career.
Highlights include “I Remember You”, the evergreen
“Autumn Leaves” and a reprise of “Day by Day” which
Doris had first recorded with Les Brown in the 1940s
(around the time that Weston had co-written it). |
