This is such a beautiful version of the song. I love the original by Yves Montand as well as the versions by Edith Piaf and Nat King Cole. Each interpretation is different. This version by Doris is the most melancholy version for me. I think of her standing in front of her kitchen window, lamenting her lost lover.
@JCChamberlain68 Thank you for your post. I too like the ones you mentioned. However, Doris' is so simply touching and honest, and that voice so clean and lovely it just goes right to the heart.
it's that time of year that we were getting our gear for the mountains dad that i'll always miss you for the rest of my life.Me and your grandkids!!!!!!
boopkid, I had to add another comment. Very few songs are actually hauntingly beautiful, and this is surely one fo them. Keep posting for all of us Doris Day fans, with thanks.
Thanks for submitting this wonderful video. Nobody, and I do mean nobody has ever matched Doris Day when it comes to singing style. She is the greatest and I have loved some lady singers.
This is my all-time favourite song and I collect all versions of it. It annoys me that some people just can't appreciate the different qualities each version offers and have to state one version to be better than another. I heartily concur with the stand taken with regard to showing respect. Doris has taken criticism over the years for her style, but it always encourages us to look for the best in ourselves and others. I like singers who bring something new to this song and this is wonderful.
Thanks for your video:) Doris Day is a beautiful lady and has the voice of an angel. I am taken back to a much simpler time when I listen to her recordings.
For more than 60 years I've loved this lady for her beauty, her voice and her acting. I guess I'll go the the great beyond still loving her. Thanks for posting some of what she's done.
Her voice more than does justice to this beautiful classic. This interpretation and and that of Eva Cassidy are my favourite. Many thanks for posting it.
@whitesox2005ify Thank you for posting and my sincerest sympathy to you for your great loss. This song is indeed sad, and it's greatness lies in its ability to evoke such pathos, Doris Day was able to render a very tender and heartfelt cover of it in her simple and seemingly effortless handling of it.
@whitesox2005ify . I am so sorry you lost the love of your life. I, too, lost my darling, Lee, almost three years ago. If we didn't have our beautiful memories of them, we would really be the losers.
This is a beautiful song. Has anybody here ever heard of the singer/songwriter Nellie Mckay? She does a great Doris Day, and should really check her out!!
Brings back so wonderful memories that were of simpler times. I am grateful for how I was raised on this type of music and have the enjoyment of real beautiful music. Thank you for sharing this with all of us.
Thank-you for this beautiful music from Doris Day. What a voice and what a great actress. When I see these postings of yesteryear it brings me so many memories. My Mother has been gone a long time now. But, Doris Day reminds me of my Mother not that my Mother could hold a tune but in looks, when my Mother was younger she wore her hair almost the same way. I long for these days. How people were so much more respectful of each other. Sadly, those days are gone.
@blossom7454 Thank you for your lovely post. I love it when people acknowledge how this music touches their heart or brings them precious memories.- It was certainly a beautiful era for music and you are right people were more respectful of each other and that in turn affected everything around us. We are lucky to remember it.
Sinatra praised Doris by saying she had the essential knack of a great singer: "...she hit every note absolutely dead center...", i.e., she could sing perfectly in tune.
@JeffersonDinedAlone Literally, sinatra means 'left-handed'. I referred to Francis Albert Sinatra. Check out 'Sinatra at the Sands' with the Count Basie Orchestra, conducted by Quincy Jones..."Where's it hurt ya, baby?"
@JeffersonDinedAlone I really feel Sinatra's best work in this recording. Something about the Basie Bans really fired Frank up to the max. He made a few studio recordings with Basie in the '50's with the young Quincy Jones conducting. Quincy brought an entirely new level of precision to the Basie Band. As a trumpet player, Q was able to coach very precise phrasing from the trumpets and all the horns, especially evident on 'It Was a Very Good Year" which has an orchestral quality.
@JeffersonDinedAlone In '65, Frank had been making movies and not singing for 5 years. He decided to begin singing again and the Basie band was hired. There is video of reharsals in the exercise yard at the Rahway Federal Prison in N.J. By the time they got to the Sands it was perfection and joy. I wore out two L.P.'s of "The Sands". The audio mix was kind of flat. The CD is a fantastic sonic revelation, as is 2005 CD of Basie instrumentals "Before Frank" @Sands (best Live album by Basie).
@JeffersonDinedAlone Highest praise must go to Quincy Jones for his arrangements. Q was able to reduce the marvelous Nelson Riddle classic arrangements for 30+ musicians on Sinatra's Studio recordings, retaining the feel but making it work with 17 musicians in Basie's Band. Note particularly the way Q was able to approximate the sound of Nelson's strings by blending flutes and muted brass in Basie's horns on "Sinatra at the Sands". It is genius, ne plus ultra! The Band/Frank never were better.
I adore everything Doris Day does. Her singing abilities were stifled due to the material she was given by the studio in her early career but when the shackles came off, her personal interpretations shone through. Her soft tones and pure voice is delightful and thanks to you tube, we can listen forever.
Voz maravilhosa e lembre-se que é muito emocionante, especialmente quando ele viu uma menina pela TeVe e minha mãe ... Eu cresci admirando a próxima!, o seu talento, sua voz é incomparável!
Her voice is beautiful. Love her singing. As I have grown older, I have come to really appreciate her music. Doris Day can sing a song. Thanks for sharing.
Doris Day,gifted,talented,beautiful.Full of emotion for lovers.Their will never be anyone who can give the song such true emotion.Thank you for sharing.
I have about 5 Doris day CDs'. About a year ago I cherry picked each of the CDs and came up with one Cd that had all the songs that I liked from way back when, I found it does me good to put the CD on and just sit back and listen, it is a real treat..
1956, really?!!! So this song was around well before I was born, and still when I hear it today, it's like discovering it again for the first time. What a lovely, timeless piece.
@TomateFarcie It really is timeless, and especially this rendition, so beautifully sung by Doris Day. The song actually dates back in its French and original version to the mid 1940's, the English version came out in the late 40's. Thanks for your post.
wolfeshadow- Ms. Day is a true angel from Heaven. God has blessed us with her talents.Her modesty, manners, politeness display high charater values for young girls to see and learn from. Today's female actress (not all, but most) are greatly lacking those social values. Ms. Day and my wife are roll models for my little girl to see on how true women should carry herself. I have always had the greatest respect & admiration for her. I love her voice & acting. An American Warrior Soldier and Dad.
Such a beautiful version of this song by a beautiful person,as far as I have heard, both inside and outside. It was a kinder gentler time, I think,when I grew up with this music. I had all but forgotten how much my sister and I loved DD. I am going to sing this in voice class now that I am retired! That is why I was researching this song. Thanks for this post and thank you for no profanity and just plain mean remarks. I think people don't understand that how you speak does make a difference.
Very good but- as I predicted resignedly- she leaves out the equally brilliant verse. Nearly all recordings do this. Although maybe she can't be blamed I suppose, but she should have insisted Autumn leaves fall and are swept out of sight., the words that you said have come true........
I am in Southern Florida and sorry to say I have found thru the years that the music from the 40's-50's has become a thing of the past. I lost my wife of 52 years this past October
and after my Grand-daughter told me about "You Tube Music" I have created about 8 playlists with as they say "MUSIC OF OUR TIME". It is great listening to the likes of Doris Day, Margaret Whiting, Don Cornell, Rosemary Clooney, Jo Stafford and June Christy to name a few. THANK YOU VERY MUCH YOU TUBE.
I think because of Doris's great television and film successes, the later ones almost always comedies, younger people might not recognize her as one of the great popular vocalists. She was terrific, and her interpretations hold up beautifully now, as when recorded.
@defundthewar Very true, her career as vocalist took a back seat to her acting career in the 60's, thanks to You Tube and reissues, she can be rediscovered for the great vocalist she was.
@defundthewar I agree with you, defundthewar, not many people recognize her stunningly clear voice. I loved her when I was a child and enjoy hearing her still. I heard a recent jazz version of this song by a young lady named Ledisi that blew me away, but it in no way detracts from her (Doris Day's) version. I really love Diane Schuur's version. It is so close to Ms. Day's, but you know the difference. Beautiful song, beautiful life, beautiful spirit, beautiful voice.
@defundthewar You're absolutely right! DD was as perfect an actress as a singer. What a voice, what a sensuous and luscious tone! It's a crystal-clear instrument, effortlessly produced, with class, pathos, understanding and so much, deep humanity. OMG I wish Doris could live forever, but she'll stay in our hearts forever. I hope young people still remember her ... but I doubt. This version is singing to Heaven and the Angels. It's touching the hearts and souls of those now resting in peace.
For a couple of years while in the Air force 1952-1955 I had my 45 RPM victrola with me, each night I would put a stack of Doris day records on, great music. I even had her picture in the cover of the unit. Even today some 50 years later I still consider her as my favorite singer.
@louisewoody1 Thank you for sharing your memories here. It is always an honor to hear from fans of Doris that experienced her music in "real time". Although, Doris Day's voice and singing is one that truly transcends generations,every time I hear her voice, it amazes me and in this song completely blows me away.
I have always love Doris Day since the first time I saw her in a movie and listen to her beautiful angelic voice. You never get tired listening to her. A great gift from heaven.
They do not sing like this anymore.She had a great voice,a great talent..This was music at its best.Where have all the great singers & actors gone, long time passing.
@nyrangers2813 I totally agree with you, her voice and talent shine through so beautifully in this song. It was an elegant and sensitive era in music. Each element in a song was so carefully crafted, and artists knew how to sing to a melody without destroying it with overblown vocals. Her phrasing is this song shows such a tender sensibility and so poignant it goes right to your heart.

THIS IS SO SCARY BUT IT REALLY WORk
I just deleted a comment that although positive, used profanity. Foul language is not tolerated here, or derrogatory comments of any kind towards anyone. We celebrate Doris Day and her music here and we do it with respect. It is the purpose of this video to celebrate her talent, beauty, and an era when we had a heightened respect for our language, manners and ultimately ourselves. Thank you
thank you for this, i look at today's society and so many songs filled with hatred and violence and vulgar language, and it's not to say I haven't grown to use a few colorful phrases myself from time to time, but it's a shame that children and many younger adults today have no respect for their elders or such beautiful charismatic music. It makes my heart long for the times past when the F word wasn't something you heard in everyday language and music like this was the heart and soul of us all!
Her music is always good, but I found this album -very- good. Just today I transferred an original copy of it to my MP3 files. (had it for several years, & got if from a former boss that was moving at the time & gave me a lot of records.)
I personally believe she is the greatest female singer of all time,but even is she is
not she's close 2nd. There is no one else who can match her total package of beauty,singing talent , and acting talent. She also kept a hit TV show going even
Her voice was so beautiful it gives me the shivers listening to it. Two other voices that I also find so rich and beautiful are those of Karen Carpenter and Julie London. To quote my former voice coach "Some people open their mouths and angels fly out"
@mckinley5 Thank you! I hadn't heard that name before. I found her music here on YT and I certainly agree with you. Her voice reminds me of Doris Day and a little of Ella Fitzgerald. The song I listened to was "Magic" I love the era of music from the 1940's into the early 1950's. It was quality music in my opinion. I am so glad the music is still played today as I wasn't born until the late 1950s.
Doris Day was such a wonder-filled, multitalented woman I don't know where to start.Here comedies, the drama she was capable of, the dancing all of it wonderful, but her soul really shines through in her voice. What a gift, a true blessing she was to us all. I love her still.
Just about every song this woman sings becomes the best version of that song! Her voice is amazing, and no one else packs as much emotion into a vocal performance. Thanks for posting this!!
I write this at the end of summer. Kids are going back to school, and the days are getting shorter. The furnace is about to come on for the first time. It will cause a smell that will bring back such memories.
my mother ,use to singso many of these song to me when iiwas ajoundgirl ,i am now 65 ,butitmakemeso happy to hear the song ,as my mother passed away 40 yrs a go
Rock and Doris, at the time an apparently iconic couple. They were beautiful together, and loved each other through the end of Rock's life. It's sad that he was forced into hiding for most of it...I know Doris knew and felt so much empathy for him.
Great, GREAT voice.
Eva's the best, but Doris is tragically underrated!
@LarryStaples Thank you for posting, and I agree with you on all points made, except that Eva's is best. Eva's is uniquely beautiful,but almost she almost converted it into another song, the liberties she took with rearranging the melody and phrasing, just changed it too much. As a purist, I think Doris' is so true to the original and so touchingly simple and unadorned that it makes it all the more poignant.
I just adore Doris Day. Iloved all the movies with her and Rock Hudson. What an Icon. She truly deserves more recognition than she ever got. If I had a chance to ever meet her it would be the happiest day of my life. God bless her always. What a beautiful person and that voice of hers. I love you Doris Day and always will.

@mcrottie I loved your post, and I couldn't agree with you more, her talent shined through with honesty and beauty, and her lilting, lovely voice will never be equaled. Thank you so much for you kind commennt.
Oh what a LEGEND!! I've been a fan of this amazing woman since I was 5 years old, it's a 12 year relationship thats only grown stronger. While my age group listens to N-Dubz and such stuff, I truely think that THIS is real music. This is what speakers and hearing were created for.
This is such a beautiful version of the song. I love the original by Yves Montand as well as the versions by Edith Piaf and Nat King Cole. Each interpretation is different. This version by Doris is the most melancholy version for me. I think of her standing in front of her kitchen window, lamenting her lost lover.

Such a beautiful version of this song by a beautiful person,as far as I have heard, both inside and outside. It was a kinder gentler time, I think,when I grew up with this music. I had all but forgotten how much my sister and I loved DD. I am going to sing this in voice class now that I am retired! That is why I was researching this song. Thanks for this post and thank you for no profanity and just plain mean remarks. I think people don't understand that how you speak does make a difference.

WONDERFULL VOICE

So beautiful and her voice so clear..she was just too marvelous for words...feel
very lucky to have been around for all the good music and movie years of the late
30's thru the 60's...you have to wonder about all the so called good movies and
music of today...it is rather sad...TY so much youtube.

Very good but- as I predicted resignedly- she leaves out the equally brilliant verse. Nearly all recordings do this. Although maybe she can't be blamed I suppose, but she should have insisted Autumn leaves fall and are swept out of sight., the words that you said have come true........

I am in Southern Florida and sorry to say I have found thru the years that the music from the 40's-50's has become a thing of the past. I lost my wife of 52 years this past October
and after my Grand-daughter told me about "You Tube Music" I have created about 8 playlists with as they say "MUSIC OF OUR TIME". It is great listening to the likes of Doris Day, Margaret Whiting, Don Cornell, Rosemary Clooney, Jo Stafford and June Christy to name a few. THANK YOU VERY MUCH YOU TUBE.

I think because of Doris's great television and film successes, the later ones almost always comedies, younger people might not recognize her as one of the great popular vocalists. She was terrific, and her interpretations hold up beautifully now, as when recorded.

@defundthewar Very true, her career as vocalist took a back seat to her acting career in the 60's, thanks to You Tube and reissues, she can be rediscovered for the great vocalist she was.
boopkid 1 year ago
@defundthewar I agree with you, defundthewar, not many people recognize her stunningly clear voice. I loved her when I was a child and enjoy hearing her still. I heard a recent jazz version of this song by a young lady named Ledisi that blew me away, but it in no way detracts from her (Doris Day's) version. I really love Diane Schuur's version. It is so close to Ms. Day's, but you know the difference. Beautiful song, beautiful life, beautiful spirit, beautiful voice.
ladyg0726 1 year ago
@defundthewar You're absolutely right! DD was as perfect an actress as a singer. What a voice, what a sensuous and luscious tone! It's a crystal-clear instrument, effortlessly produced, with class, pathos, understanding and so much, deep humanity. OMG I wish Doris could live forever, but she'll stay in our hearts forever. I hope young people still remember her ... but I doubt. This version is singing to Heaven and the Angels. It's touching the hearts and souls of those now resting in peace.

For a couple of years while in the Air force 1952-1955 I had my 45 RPM victrola with me, each night I would put a stack of Doris day records on, great music. I even had her picture in the cover of the unit. Even today some 50 years later I still consider her as my favorite singer.

@louisewoody1 Thank you for sharing your memories here. It is always an honor to hear from fans of Doris that experienced her music in "real time". Although, Doris Day's voice and singing is one that truly transcends generations,every time I hear her voice, it amazes me and in this song completely blows me away.

@nyrangers2813 I totally agree with you, her voice and talent shine through so beautifully in this song. It was an elegant and sensitive era in music. Each element in a song was so carefully crafted, and artists knew how to sing to a melody without destroying it with overblown vocals. Her phrasing is this song shows such a tender sensibility and so poignant it goes right to your heart.

I just deleted a comment that although positive, used profanity. Foul language is not tolerated here, or derrogatory comments of any kind towards anyone. We celebrate Doris Day and her music here and we do it with respect. It is the purpose of this video to celebrate her talent, beauty, and an era when we had a heightened respect for our language, manners and ultimately ourselves. Thank you

thank you for this, i look at today's society and so many songs filled with hatred and violence and vulgar language, and it's not to say I haven't grown to use a few colorful phrases myself from time to time, but it's a shame that children and many younger adults today have no respect for their elders or such beautiful charismatic music. It makes my heart long for the times past when the F word wasn't something you heard in everyday language and music like this was the heart and soul of us all!

I personally believe she is the greatest female singer of all time,but even is she is
not she's close 2nd. There is no one else who can match her total package of beauty,singing talent , and acting talent. She also kept a hit TV show going even
after she no longer wanted to.

@mckinley5 Thank you! I hadn't heard that name before. I found her music here on YT and I certainly agree with you. Her voice reminds me of Doris Day and a little of Ella Fitzgerald. The song I listened to was "Magic" I love the era of music from the 1940's into the early 1950's. It was quality music in my opinion. I am so glad the music is still played today as I wasn't born until the late 1950s.

Doris Day was such a wonder-filled, multitalented woman I don't know where to start.Here comedies, the drama she was capable of, the dancing all of it wonderful, but her soul really shines through in her voice. What a gift, a true blessing she was to us all. I love her still.

Rock and Doris, at the time an apparently iconic couple. They were beautiful together, and loved each other through the end of Rock's life. It's sad that he was forced into hiding for most of it...I know Doris knew and felt so much empathy for him.
Great, GREAT voice.
Eva's the best, but Doris is tragically underrated!

LarryStaples 1 year ago 3
@LarryStaples Thank you for posting, and I agree with you on all points made, except that Eva's is best. Eva's is uniquely beautiful,but almost she almost converted it into another song, the liberties she took with rearranging the melody and phrasing, just changed it too much. As a purist, I think Doris' is so true to the original and so touchingly simple and unadorned that it makes it all the more poignant.
