In 1960 Doris Day was at the top of her game as a movie star but was considered rather passé as a singer. Listen To Day includes several songs from her popular movies. (US:26)
"Listen To Day is lots of fun. The mood is definitely upbeat...it's very 60s and features many songs from her comedies, plus some other rarely heard ditties.”
“This is a lucky find. It includes some little known material done especially for this album as well as some better known material from Doris Day's movies. Heart Full Of Love has a beautiful 60s sound. I wonder why it wasn't a hit.”
“Listen To Day demonstrates Doris Day's vocal sensitivity, her consummate musical phrasing, and her ability to turn a popular lyric into sheer poetry. Pillow Talk, Roly-Poly, Possess Me and Inspiration were all from the movie Pillow Talk. Tunnel Of Love and Any Way The Wind Blows featured in other films. The other six tracks feature mainly upbeat, fun songs with the occasional ballad, just like the six movie songs. The song No would be regarded as controversial these days."
“You don't hear her getting the praise that she so richly deserves, although she almost single-handedly saved the movie musical from extinction when she became an instant success after her first film.”
“Her voice is hard to describe. Many people call it 'dreamy'. Yes, it is that, but it's much, much more. There is an urgency to tell the truth and to tell it to one person.”
