Doris Day - But Not For Me

[Jayee123]

Always a pleasure to hear la Day sing.

[Dayniac4324]

@Jayee123 So happy you enjoyed !!

[minpinned]

Singers like Doris Day and Blossom Dearie show how little it takes to sing a song well.

[Dayniac4324]

@minpinned And to me .. thats what a lot of artists today miss. Doris sang the song .. as it was written .. simply and beautifully. Showing her beautiful voice and the beauty of the song. What more can you ask for. Thank you .. so happy you enjoyed !

[ForEverGilda]

To say that Doris Day is a great singer would be an understatement. Like all talented people she means every word, her phrasing is impeccable, and you've got the impression that she sings for you alone. I like her a lot. Check out Ella Fitzgerald in the same number. She's great too. Chet Baker has always been one of my favorites. Many thanks for posting this wonderful song and Doris, of course.

[Dayniac4324]

@ForEverGilda Yes - she's really great at interpreting a song - as Ella is. Very talented ladies. Thank you ... so happy you enjoyed.

Chet sings a jazz inflected line much as Mr. Sinatra does, and Doris of course. Mr. Connick can effect that sweet woodwind or muted trumpet.

No not Chet, but Harry Connick Jr. sang and played BNFM in When Harry Met Sally. :) I couldn't find any other movie where Chet sang BNFM. :( :)

[Dayniac4324]

@eugenesedita Oh yes... you are so right ! I remember that now that you say it. He did most of the songs. I don't know .. just sounds familiar. I really enjoyed Chet's version .. thank you !!

[eugenesedita]

[SteveCaftdunt]

Absolute blissful 2:49 minutes of my life I have just enjoyed. !! Many thanks for this - even though my favourite version is by Chet Baker.

[Dayniac4324]

@SteveCaftdunt I'm so happy you enjoyed this lovely song from Doris. I will have to check out the version by Chet Baker. Thank you !

[Dayniac4324]

@SteveCaftdunt I checked him out ... and I love it. Was this in When Harry Met Sally ... or a movie like that ? Sounds very familiar. Thanks for the info !

[condogwow]

@SteveCaftdunt

Chet is the BEST. Can't top that buttery voice & phrasing.

[eugenesedita]

Thanks for this one, Dayniac. xo

[Dayniac4324]

@eugenesedita I'm really happy you enjoyed it ! I love the song ... and of course Doris' version. Happy you did too !! =)

[62grossman]

Thanks for this and all the other great Doris Day videos.

[Dayniac4324]

@62grossman Thank you for watching ... I'm really happy you're enjoying Doris' great music !

[Bluejeans0701]

Doris Day is a real genius among jazz vocalists. This is the first time I listen to her sing this number but I get mesmerized by her sweet voice. Thanks for posting this clip. I am positive that she could top today's young artists like Ne-yo and Lady Gaga.

[Dayniac4324]

@Bluejeans0701 She really has an amazing voice - a true talent. I'm happy you've discovered her music and you're enjoying it !

[honeybee7700]

sad but beautiful

[Dayniac4324]

@honeybee7700 Its such a beautiful song ... so happy you enjoyed.

[paulprocopolis]

Uniquely Doris Day and utterly irresistable! (And surely she had one of the most captivating smiles in video history.)

[Dayniac4324]

@paulprocopolis She's an amazing talent ... and a beautiful lady - inside and out !!

So happy you enjoyed !!

[gladtohelpafriend]

Doris is gorgeous and talented :)

[Dayniac4324]

@gladtohelpafriend You said it !! She really is ... an amazing voice ! So happy you enjoyed !!

[Dayniac4324]

@hcbutube Really .. wow I must have missed that one ! Thats crazy !!

[frankieheartsful]

Definitely the "Girl Next Door!"

[Dayniac4324]

@frankieheartsful She is and she isn't ! Funny - but she appears as the girl next door but is so much more. She actually hated that niche that the movie industry put her in. But - what are you gonna do ! Thank you ... so happy you enjoyed !

[pepperquentin]

Although there is a change here from"Russian" to the dissapointing "Broadway", when she sang "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas", her version is one of the only ones that kept the words".. until then we'll have to muddle through somehow", instead of the maudlin"... hang a shining star upon the highest bough" at the end of the song, thereby conveying much more the meaning. THAT was much appreciated. And, I do love her voice. But, yeah, the "Broadway" thing doesn't work for me, either.

[Dayniac4324]

@pepperquentin I know .. I don't understand why they changed the words ! And who made that decision ? Seems crazy to me ! I would think it would have to be a Columbia decision .. but don't know. It was the cold war .. but I don't think it was necessary to have a subsitute for the word Russian !

[wisecrab]

I love Doris. She just had that way with a song.

[Dayniac4324]

@wisecrab She certainly did ..... and I love the way she had ! Thanks ... so happy you enjoyed !!

[vrk653]

Love Doris Day!!

[Dayniac4324]

@vrk653 ME TOO !! guess you could tell that ! Thanks ... happy you enjoyed !

[khurit]

is there a doris day song about 'when your lover leaves... strom clouds...' [something]

very moody.. jazzy

temporary40 @ yahoo com

[Jazzela21]

In my opinion too!

[Dayniac4324]

She really does a ballad as good as or better than anyone ! Happy you enjoyed !

[Jazzela21]

Strangely how sad songs are so lovely! Love Doris Day!

[Dayniac4324]

I know what you mean..... they really are so beautiful. And Doris is one of the best ballad singers ever... at least in my opinion ! Thank you .. really happy you enjoyed !!

[hesp666]

You can tell that the song was recorded during the "Cold War" (tm).

They changed the line "than any Russian play can guarantee" to "than any Broadway play can guarantee".

Pathetic really. If it was good enough for Ira Gershwin the old way, it's good enough for me.

Hesperos

[Dayniac4324]

I know - that does bother me too. Sad that they felt they had to change the lyrics. I'm sure it was Columbia that made that call.

[char4him99]

I am a total fan..

[Dayniac4324]

ME TOO !!

Glad you enjoyed !
