It is today announced that, in celebration of what would have been her 98th birthday on April 3, beloved acting and musical icon Doris Day will have the new commemorative album ‘Her Greatest Songs’ released on pink vinyl by Sony Music. Available to buy on Friday 10 April, the album will also be available via streaming as well.
Just shy of one year since her passing away on May 13, 2019, Day’s, massive legacy will continue with the album which includes classic songs such as the 1956 Academy Award winning hit Whatever Will Be, Will Be (Que Sera, Sera), Dream A Little Dream Of Me, Secret Love, It’s Magic, Move Over Darling and Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps. The 16 selections on ‘Her Greatest Songs” span the years 1950 through 1970, closing with a rare rendition of the folk-pop standard Both Sides Now making its first-ever appearance on vinyl.
A Hollywood legend, her movies made her one of the biggest stars of all time with the singer-actress starring in films such as Calamity Jane, Love Me Or Leave Me and Pillow Talk. Her recordings continue to be heard in motion pictures, TV programs and advertisements.
Doris’ birthday has become legendary amongst fans with many of them making an annual pilgrimage to her home in Carmel, California and this year will prove to be no different with the release of this new album alongside a charity auction including hundreds of her personal items in aid of The Doris Day Animal Foundation.
