A new CD by Doris Day is being released. While the CD’s release date in the US has been reported as being December 2nd, it will be available on amazon.com on December 6th (and on the Barnes & Noble site, bn.com, a week later). (A shorter version of the CD appeared in the UK in September; the US version contains an additional song.)
Of the thirteen recordings on the CD, most were recorded in the mid-1980s (and were produced by Ms. Day’s late son, Terry Melcher), but were never released. (A few of the songs, the UK-based website “Discovering Doris Day” notes, were aired on Ms. Day’s 1980s TV show, “Doris Day’s Best Friends.”) Another of the recordings was made for a 1970s Doris Day TV special, and a few others are previously-released Day songs. The UK website also notes: “All proceeds from the American release of the album will go to Ms. Day’s animal welfare organisation, the Doris Day Animal Foundation (DDAF).”
Terry Melcher, Ms. Day's son, passed away in 2004. He is perhaps best known for his work with the 1960s group The Byrds; he produced the group’s early recordings, including “Mr. Tambourine Man,” and “Turn, Turn, Turn.”
Here are two stories about the new Doris Day CD, from the “Discovering Doris Day” website:
