11 Dec - 22 Dec 1959 (3 days)
The 1950s are undisputed as Doris
Day's most successful recording decade and this project was her last
to be completed within it.
Sessions for this album were held over
4 days in the fall of 1959. Doris was accompanied by the Harry Zimmerman
orchestra which regularly provided the music on Dinah Shaw's popular TV variety-show.
What Every Girl
Should Know offers twelve
velvety-smooth ballads that are performed with an understated sway
and swing. One of the highlights from these sessions
is Doris's much improved remake of
the King and I classic "Something Wonderful",
a tune that she had first recorded for her 1951 single of songs from
the musical. Doris also gives a stellar performance of Louis
Armstong's "When You're Smiling" and
includes
"What Does a Woman Do", a vocal version
of the love theme from her hit thriller
Midnight Lace. |
