Hooray for Doris!

"These two albums have been (thankfully) put on one CD. Doris is at her best here, particularly with sassy renditions of "Cheek to Cheek" and "Easy to Love." The title song, with its slow beginning to its jazzy ending, is sung by Doris in an ironic and humorous manner; even the composer admits that her rendition of "Horray for Hollywood" is the best version by any singer. On Volume 2, she sings wistfully of "It Might As Well Be Spring" and "Three Coins in the Fountain" as well sings coyly "Nice Work If You Can Get It" and "I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm." Also, "Over the Rainbow" and "Blues in the Night" are stand-outs."

Hooray that I found this!!!

I have several Doris Day CD's, all of them spectacular. This one is quickly overtaking Day By Day/Day By Night (on Collectables) as my favorite. Doris cannot disappoint; there is not a dud in her entire song catalog. This CD is a "2 on 1" Sony import (from the UK, I think). These hi-fidelity stereophonic recordings both sound great - no gripes - they sound like they could have even been recorded yesterday! Doris sings flawlessly, as always. Even the most casual listener will enjoy these albums; for Doris fans they are required equipment.



This is now out of print and hard to find. If you come across it in the used CD store, BUY IT AT ALL COSTS!!!! I came across it in a second hand CD store in Madison, WI recently for 1/5 of the current used price here at Amazon."
