Doris Day contributes to a very special 3-disc set
released by Sony Music (UK)
to celebrate her career in music...
This has
to rate as one of the most significant 'Doris Day' releases
by the music giant that owns Doris's original recording label -
Columbia Records. This definitive boxset comprises of
three themed CDs featuring a total of 60
original recordings. Each has been digitally remastered
and gives a beautiful
overview of Doris's 26 years of single and album
recordings (1940-66). This has

This is
also a project that I had the pleasure to conceive and coordinate in
celebration of Miss Day's epic 80th birthday! It ultimately is aimed to
showcase her versatility as a
songstress including hits, rarities, alternate-takes, a full Columbia album
discography, track-by-track notes, mini biography, as well as a
series of specially obtained celebrity anecdotes from showbiz
friends and admirers e.g. Burt Bacharach, Robert Goulet, Frankie Laine, Sir
Paul McCartney, Johnny Mathis, Anne Murray,
Olivia Newton-John, Cybill Shepherd and Andy Williams.
The proverbial
icing on the cake to this project was the kind assistance of Miss Day who contributed a message that she wanted her fans worldwide to read.
