Doris Day RIP

[toobfreak]

Doris actually got her start singing in big band orchestras. She grew up as a kid in the Roaring 20's then reached adulthood during the Great Depression.

A fabulous success in all forms of show business. She even was referenced in a Beatles song.
A wonderful person from all accounts.

She had a lot of ups and downs in her life. 4 marriages, 3 divorces and 1 funeral. Flat broke when someone she trusted took her to the cleaners.

I wonder what her life was like at the end.

RIP Doris. My favorite of her movies are "The Man Who Knew Too Much" and "Pillow Talk". She was faboo.

My favorites are calamity Jane, and midnight lace.

It was her son who rented his house out to Roman Polanski and Sharon Tate when he went on a trip to Europe and Charles Manson came looking and we know what happened there.

A woman who seem to have a constant sunny disposition had a pretty tragic life.

One of the most beautiful voices ever singing one of the most beautiful love songs ever written. Academy award nominated Doris Day singing academy award winning song secret love.

Great singer and good actress. She portrayed the decent woman in an era when women were used to being exploited in H'wood. Maybe that's why she outlived Marlyn Monroe by about fifty years.

As this song proves, Doris Day was a GREAT pop singer. Right up there with Ella Fitzgerald and Peggy Lee. Not every song was from a movie or a broadway play. Some were pop and jazz songs. This song was a huge hit.

She has such an easy going sense of swing. You can't learn that. It's natural.

The base. The drums. The bump pa da bump of the background voices. Pure 50's.

my favs from her are from the late 50s early 60s movies ...like this one

1959 - DORIS DAY - Pillow Talk (Open)
