Originally broadcast to American audiences on the
CBS network in March 1971 the special features some of Doris's only filmed
performances of hit singles and various rare
songs (e.g. "Both sides now",
"It's
Magic" and
"Sentimental Journey"). It also includes a timeless collaboration
with the legendary crooner Perry Como and guest
appearance by Rock Hudson.
Above is
the stunning artwork that is being used for the DVD cover. Although
not specifically from the show this shot was taken just a
few months prior to the start of taping in March 1970.
