Lost Horizon - Doris Day & Les Brown

[EnchantedMind0]

she sings with so much deep and feeling, way ahead of her time.

[zeppelin2435]

please can anybody put the lyrics of the song?

[dadsmillierosie]

That's my dad on Sax!  Stephen A. Madrick -never saw him on video before! What a treat. 1945 -he was 35-went on to become Les Brown's lead sax -during WWII was sax w/ Glen Miller's US Army Airforce Band, stationed at Yale, New Haven, CT,where the band played for troops in training.Born1910, passed away in 1995& while in hospital at his last hours, he was listening to a tape of his favorite recordings he made with Les Brown Band. He's also in duet in "Once Over Lightly" but pulled from YouTube.

Did you see Doris Day in "Love Me or Leave Me?" She danced up a storm in this much touted picture. She sings and dances to "Shaking the Blues Away" a great display of her dancing, singing and gorgeous legs.

[MMfan1997]

@thejonquil I did, She does have gorgeous legs! She is wonderful at what she does. I love Doris Day!

[MisterGoulash]

Is there a recording of this?

[peterflapper]

Hello MisterGoulash, I don't think so. It's just recorded as a soundie. It's not in my personal collection of more than 900 different Doris Day songs. But I haven't found all Doris ever sang on Live Radio.

[MisterGoulash]

That's a pity.Great song!

Thanks for the info.

[MisterGoulash]

Beatifull melody.

Doris Day sings it like an angel.

Thank you!

[MemphisMoll]

Look up clips of "Romance on the High Seas" where Doris was with Jack Carson in the film and sings "It's Magic". You'll see this gal, whom I believe to be Martha Raye, and the REAL Doris in the other clip are two different people!

[peterflapper]

Hi MephisMoll, It's really Doris Day. She made definitly three soundies with Les Brown. "Lost Horizon", "Once Over, Lightly" and "Is It Love Or Is It Conscription?"

[Blissycat]

You think this is Martha Raye?? Okay.... seriously.... look up some pictures and videos of Martha. She was more of a comedienne who did weird facial expressions. She was not a lovely, elegant young ingenue as we see in this clip.

If *this* is Martha Raye then *I* am Martha Raye.

[livlafluvlam]

wow, is that really Doris Day??? She is so great

[mommyof4anjc]

Hey peterflapper,

I just wanted to say thank you! Les Borwn was my great grandpa and seeing and hearing his music tonight was a treat for me! I miss him!! Thanks

[littleshoemaker]

I love early Doris, quite a revelation, and this clip is quite a delight.

[barkking]

Love it!

[margocary]

Great clip, but she is practically unrecognizable to me. Thanks for sharing.

[battenwood]

Those '40's hairstyles made a lot of ladies hard to recognize for us. Ever see any early photos of Marilyn Monroe? Of course, sometimes a little plastic surgery came into play also.

[ra86226]

Yeah, but styles change. Those 40's hairdo's were not great. She always looked better in some version of a dutch bob. GREAT voice though. She is the prettiest woman that I've seen in the movies. Ever.

[kobey333]

she is beautiful with any hairstyle.. i love doris!!!!! but i agree she looks alittle diff. much much younger here. i love stopping by to watch and listen to her.. thanks for sharing

[srdiow]

Fantastic clip! where ever did you find it....thanks for posting!!

[jamesrobert2]

Doris Day during the 1940's- Les Brown, Buddy Clark- and, more. It doesn't get any better than that. I thank the Lord for her songs. She's got to be my favorite all time singer.

[LinoCardoso]

Doris, Doris today is your day! Happy anniversary! Save on April 3!

[fanjet16]

i got this on a dvd showing the soundies that they made from 1940 to 1947, this was her first song in front of a camera,she was always a class act

[proespekter]

Her beauty is absolutely unmatched! Oh yeah and her voice is pretty amazing too.

[calmemaggie]

This is when music could be understood and people just listened and it warmed their souls.

[cem404]

And to think of it! She originally wanted to be a dancer. What a waste that would have been.

[CliffordCarson]

Gorgeous song. Is this available on CD?

[peterflapper]

I don't think so. It's available on the dvd Doris Day Today.

[rkoliver1]

Sound more like Lena Horne.

[1singlet]

One thing I notice now are her eyes. She's so young, I can hardly tell. But, those are her eyes, and so pretty.

[poetslipvis]

Damn, she should have been a jazz singer. What a beautiful voice and what great phrasing, but alas que sera, sera. ;)

[algabal]

If you want to hear Doris in a jazz setting, check out her 1960 album "Duet" from with André Previn.

[moreno2394]

Miss Day is one of the greatest vocalists the States gave.Great star ! Great lady of the screen, it is shameful Academy Awards does not give her an Oscar, she is a living legend, she is still in great health fortunately.

[poetslipvis]

Nobody played this song ever since, there is no chart available etcetera.

If you want the lead sheet you have to contact me, i'll send you my transcription. (Melody/Harmony/Lyrics) and you'll have to play it yourself :)

[juicysparkles]

This song is AMAZING. Where could I possibly obtain the full song? Anyone?

[Bergman90]

she is amazing. i love this clip! she looks so young. but at the beginning her eyes keep rolling into the back of her head lol

[peterflapper]

I love Doris early recordings, I have a lot of them. Cd tracks from the original Columbia Record Label, but also live recordings from radio in my collection. My collection contains around 700 different recordings from her whole career. Including the Bear Family Sets, different arrangments from the same songsessions are counted as one song. One of my favorits is An apple blossom wedding, with Les Brown. A nice litte tune. I love it. Sorry for my poor English.

[23brookside]

She sounds a little like Ella Fitzgerald here, style wise and even in voice quality. It makes you think, if her career had taken a different path, would we be thinking of her as that great jazz singer, Doris Day? Still, what we have is Doris as I suppose she wanted to be. And that is good enough for me. One of the great voices of all time, in any style.

[jecosten]

What a voice! What music! What days! Where did they go?

[CliffordCarson]

Man, I love this clip and this song! GO LOST HORIZON

[gf1001]

The early vocals of Doris came as a complete suprise her songs with Les Brown are far better than the later ones if you have chance to listen to her early recordings youll know why Great.

[23brookside]

Can you name a few songs, or several, if you will, that are your particular favorites from that early period? As this song and Sentimental Journey proves, the girl had soul.

[BENC354]

wow..this has to be one of the earliest clips I've ever seen of Doris...thanks so much for sharing...it's great!

[debbiausten]

Thanks, Peter,

I love these old clips of Doris!
