Fantastic coverage so far! I’m so happy that this album is getting the promotion it deserves. Despite all our wishes for Honorary Oscars, American Film Institute tributes, and Kennedy Center Honors for Miss Doris Day, all she wants is to raise money for her beloved animals. Like most legends, she is unassuming and unaware of just how great a gift she has been to this world. God bless you, Miss Day. Thanks for the publicity updates
Seen the Good Morning America show and the morning crew LOVED Doris! An excited Tracy got to talk to Doris on the phone, and I was SO glad that Robin Roberts was the one that got to interview Doris. Robin has a nice voice herself! It must have worked, because Doris’ album My Heart, on Amazon USA went from #29 to #4 and is #1 on all 3 categories under Contemporary, Jazz, and Easy Listening and #2 in Movers and Shakers!
My brother just called me with the update about Miss Day’s new album “My Heart”. I’ve been a fan for over fifty years. What a positive and uplifting person! I look forward to hearing this new release, it’s on my Christmas wish list!
Dear friends,
Congratulations with the release of the latest album of Doris and her own Heart!
She was already weeks ago by me at home; she glided through the letterbox with
all her music and songs:)
Love to all of you,
Laurens from Amsterdam, the Nethelands
Miss Day, congratulations on your new album “My Heart”, it is wonderful. Your fans around the world are so happy to hear from you. Please, Miss Day, don’t stop with just a new album, we want to see you and pay tribute to you for all you have done for the world and your foundation. You have always been a positive uplifting force and deserve to be honored. Where is the news media (Barbra Walters) or someone to do a “spotlight” on her. Please Miss Day, come out of Carmel and allow yourself to be recognized as you should be.
Dear Doris, I have loved you since I was in grade school. I wanted to be just like you. Unfortunately I wasn’t good enough, but still dreamed of it. I have seen all your movies, still have the first albums you put out with one song on each side. Two years ago my daughter took me to San Francisco and we made the tour down the coast. I lived in Long Beach for 15 years and raised my 5 children there.
Now I am in Gainesville, Florida, 76 years old, living in a retirement community. I would love to be able to correspond with you. I just don’t know how to get through to you.
Love you always. You are my idol.
I have never written a fan mail letter in my life – and I am doing it now and will follow it with a hard copy – to Miss Doris Day – who has made my life just one sunny Day —–
I have your new album and when you spoke on it – I took it directly from you to me – how sweet is that – you are lovely. Terry’s voice is beautiful –
Thanks,
Deirdre Barr Kushner
I am putting Barr in here – because I was 6 when I started being a fan.
I love to watch all your old movies. I love to listen to you sing. I watch your sitcom show every morning before work.I have all five seasons. I also have all your movies.I just love to listen and here good old fashioned loving things. There is to much violence and evil in this world.This takes me away into the good old times.Thanks for being who you are.
Miss Day, I have been your fan my entire life. 70 years. You have displayed profesionalism and integrity thoughout your career. I admire that tremendously. You have maintained your privacy as it should be. Thank you for bringing us your beautiful voice once again. Have a wonderful Christmas and a Blessed New Year.
