Doris Day's
Sentimental Journey was
recorded in September 1964.
The release was however delayed until after her next
LP Latin For Lovers.
For this
concept album Doris takes a walk down memory lane
to her early years as a big-band singer. These are songs that
she fondly remembers singing in the clubs with Bob Crosby and Les Brown.
The
nostalgic song list may not have grabbed
pop
audiences of the swinging-sixties but that is no
reason to dismiss what is a very
sophisticated album. Forty
years on, the appreciation for this record has
really grown and Doris's performances acknowledged
as being some of her best. This is after all the
songstress returning to her roots!
Standout
versions from this release include her splendid
interpretations of the jazz standard "I'm Beginning To See
The Light", Glenn Miller's "At Last", Jimmy Dorsey's "I
Remember You" and a wonderful remake of her
very first
million-seller "Sentimental Journey".
Another song that
Doris
got to re-record was Come
to Baby, Do!. She had first recorded it with Les Brown
but had been wanting to improve on her earlier
version. |
