About this product
Doris Day - Early Day-Rare Songs from the Radio 1939-1950 - Wanna know'and wanna hear'how Doris Day became one of the biggest multimedia stars on the planet? This 24-track collection carefully culls Doris' finest and rarest performances from over a decade of appearances on the radio, where her star first really began to shine. First, we begin with a 1944 rendition of one of her signature songs, 'Sentimental Journey,' with the big band that really vaulted her into the stratosphere, The Les Brown Orchestra. Then we double back all the way to her very first radio performances with local Cincinnati bandleader Barney Rapp, who was the man who urged Doris Mary Anne Kappelhoff to change her name to Doris Day. After that, we're off and running with more mid-'40s appearances with Les Brown, 1950 duets on The Bob Hope Show with Bob ('Sunshine Cake') and Jimmy Wakely ('Slippin' Around'), and a lot more songs from The Bob Hope Show that reunited Doris with Les Brown, who served as the show's musical director. We've found period pictures galore for the package'which, by the way, was put together with the full knowledge and consent of the late, great lady herself'and have commissioned liner notes by Joe Marchese that chart the steep trajectory of Doris Day's career through these radio recordings. Remastered, like our other Doris Day rarities collections, by Mike Milchner at SonicVision'a perfect way to celebrate the Doris Day centennial!

Doris Day was one of the most universally popular entertainers of the post-war era on both screen and record, her stunning good looks and vivacious personality matched by an ability to handle pop songs across the spectrum of the genre, and her talents ensured she had regular chart entries across more than two decades. This great-value 79-track 3-CD set comprises just about all her entries in the Billboard and Cash Box Top 100 charts and in the UK charts through to 1962 and in the UK charts, starting with her hits as the featured vocalist with Les Brown's Orchestra in 1945, followed by her solo hits and a number of hits performing duets with other top singes of the era like Buddy Clark, Frank Sinatra, Frankie Laine, Johnnie Ray and Donald O'Connor. Of the recordings included here, 46 were Top 20 hits, of which 25 made the Top 10, including the No. 1s InchSentimental JourneyInch, InchMy Dreams Are Getting Better All the TimeInch, InchLove SomebodyInch, InchA Guy Is a GuyInch, InchSecret LoveInch, InchQue Sera, SeraInch. It's not only a fabulous showcase for the talent and versatility of a much-loved artist, but it's an evocative and, dare we say it, sentimental journey through what was truly a golden era of popular music.
