Doris Day - Stars Fell On Alabama

[Solorider551]

I was raised during the rock era, listening to the Stones, zeppelin, hendrix and all those guys... But one night my Dad was listening to this song of doris, and it was like booom !!! I just fell in love with her songs. Thanks for posting !

[Dayniac4324]

@Solorider551 I know what you mean. I started listening to my mom's Day albums when I was 10 .... but then being a teenager in the late 60s early 70s listened to a lot of hard rock. But, I've always had this side that loves the 40s and 50s music....and its full blown now !! So happy you've enjoyed ... she has so many great songs !!

[honeybee7700]

wow just beautiful love ms. day

[Dayniac4324]

@honeybee7700 It is a beautiful song from Doris .... happy you enjoyed !!

[333marian1]

NOBODY CAN BEAT HER MELLO CLEAR ROMANTIC DELIVERY AND IN REAL LIFE TO COME OUT OF ABUSE AND THE DEATH OF HER SON, IS SO SAD BUT SHE DID IT WITH DIGNITY AND CLASS. A TRUE SWEET KIND FORGIVING SOUL. I MISS HEARING HER AND SEEING HER. LOVE AND TREASURE ALL MY CD'S AND MOVIES OF HER. GOOD OR BAD SHE MADE THEM GOOD.

[Dayniac4324]

@333marian1 You're so right ... a truely classy lady ! Even in her not so good movies.. Doris was alwasy top notch .. she gave her all. She's still sounding good. I've heard a few recent interviews and she sounds wonderful !! She overcame some terrible things and has sure been an inspiration to many. Thank you .....really happy you enjoyed this one ... its one of my favorites !!

[char4him99]

Totally dreamy...

[Dayniac4324]

@char4him99 It definitely is a dreamy version from Doris !! So happy you enjoyed !

[gv4161960]

This is by far my favorite song of hers...and I love most all of them!! Wish there were people like her around today!!

[Dayniac4324]

@gv4161960 It would be hard for me to decide on my favorite song from Doris ... this is certainly one of them. She gives us perfectly dreamy version. I think a couple of my all time fave's are - They Say It's Wonderful and People Will Say We're In Love. She really does the best interpretation I've heard. Thank you ... really happy you're enjoying Doris. She's the best !! =)

[sevildrib]

If there is a gap in the heavens up top of "The Heart of Dixie" then this song and this recording are good compensation>>>Thanks Doris: I'd give a galaxy to have you back singing like this again>>>

[Dayniac4324]

@sevildrib What a great comment ! Yes ... great compensation ! I'd love to have 800 more songs from Doris .. that would be heavenly. Thank you ... so happy you enjoyed this lovely song from Doris.

[coywin]

Oh yeah, stars really do fall on Alabama as I found out in Sept. 1954. Great Doris.

[Dayniac4324]

@coywin Really ? Wow ... thats very interesting ! Happy you enjoyed this one from Doris !!

[JoanWasQuizzical1]

Dayniac will you put up "Funny" and "Sorry" by DD?

Love SFOA tho

[pamurchu]

OMG my very favorite JB song is sung by DD! I played a minor role in my Senior Class play in 'Pillow Talk." So happy to stumble upon this gem...

[Dayniac4324]

@pamurchu This is such a great song .... and Doris gives us a lovely version. I bet you had fun in the play ! So happy you enjoyed !

[TheStevecov]

This truly another of my favorites next to "Moonglow. I spend my summers at my cabin in Island Park, Idaho. Sometimes I will play these songs on my "Bose" and set on repeat mode. Just love it.

[Dayniac4324]

@TheStevecov Have to agree with you ... this is one of my all time favorites. Her Day by Night album is wonderful. I listen to her every day going to and from work ... I think I'd rather be listening while relaxing like you do ! lo But really - any time is a good time to listen to Doris !! Thanks !

[tomtomtom692]

A Lovely song, A lovely singer,

[Dayniac4324]

@tomtomtom692 Another of my favorites... to me, Doris was at her peak at this time. Her albums Day by Day and Day by Night were great. I say that - then think about earlier and later recordings that I like just as much ... hmmm ... maybe she had several peaks ! lol Anyway - happy you enjoyed ... thank you !

[cathiemac]

Day by Night is one of my favorite DD albums....thanks to everyone who posts

anything by Doris....I have been a fan for

57 years (since I was 9) when I first heard her sing If I Give My Heart to You on the radio....like her son said, she has a smile in her voice when she sings...love her!

[Dayniac4324]

@cathiemac One of my favorite albums too. You've got me beat. I've been a fan for around 47 years - since I started listening to the 2 Doris albums my mom had - Show Time and Duet. Both terrific albums too. Terry was so right ! She does and she brings a smile to me everytime I listen to her. Thanks.... really happy you enjoyed !

[perfecttense]

What a joy, I've never heard Doris sing this before and I've been a fan for many years. Thanks for the upload. She sings so beautifully, I thank God she broke her leg. Much love Doris Xx

[Dayniac4324]

@perfecttense HAHAHAHA .... yes ... I think we should all be thankful that she was forced to sing... just wish it wouldn't have been so painful for her ! This is one of my faves... so happy you enjoyed it too !

[followthefleet1]

I think this to be the definitive version of this song. I'll accept other nominations...but to me, this is the best, with Paul Weston and his orchestra. Day captures lots of nuance and emotion intrinsic to the music. Sunny Doris Day was a serious recording artist....and a good actress too.

[Dayniac4324]

@followthefleet1 Have to agree with you - I think Doris does a great interpretation of this song. She was definitely a serious recording artist with around 1100 songs. I think she often is over looked because after her band days and early radio show - she didn't sing in public. She was a recording star. But - I think she is one of the best at interpreting a song. And one of the best ballad singers ever. Thanks for your great comment .. happy you enjoyed !

[mgy1523]

You should check out the version with Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong, another version I thoroughly enjoy.

Man, this song is amazing to have a glass of scotch too.

[Dayniac4324]

I love Ella Fitzgerald. I have some records that I truely love. Enjoy her most when she's not doing her scat - as great as that is. Thanks and cheers !!

[gv416]

This is Beautiful...never heard a version of this song that I love as much as this one. Doris is a beautiful lady and a beautiful singer.

[Dayniac4324]

I really love her version of this great song. She has such a wonderful voice ! So happy you enjoyed it too !! Thanks !

[tumbleskimuller]

LOL at 5.30 I needed the comfort of Doris Day xxx

[Dayniac4324]

Well - songs like this from Doris sure do comfort me too ! Happy you enjoyed !!

[mgy1523]

What's wrong kids now a days? This music is to die for, so beautiful and full of real emotion. What else could you want?

[Dayniac4324]

I'm with you ....love these romantic songs - and Doris is the best at singing them. I don't want anything else ... just these beautiful songs !! Thank you ....enjoyed your comment !

[2egypt]

Thanks for the memories....danced to this song by Ray

Anthony in high school when dancing was romantic, not this

jungle hopping around music now days . Guess those days are now gone forever, eh?

[Dayniac4324]

So happy this brought you some happy memories. I'm with you -- miss those days !

[iloveffvii]

I'm 14. And you're an idiot. At least I can appreciate music from other time periods.

[xavier1850]

We just listened to "No Moon at All", and then this tune. Wonderful recordings, and so romantic. Truly great. Thanks.

[Dayniac4324]

This is one of my all time favorite DD tunes. Just love it !! Thanks - happy you enjoyed them.

[SLanima]

nice, but also hear the version of Renee Olstead

[renats29]

Heaven on earth...That´s what I say of her rendition.

[Dayniac4324]

Have to agree with you - one of my fav's.

This is such a great album - all the songs are wonderful. She's really amazing.

Thanks !!

[stubs13]

I can't believe I never knew of Doris Day!!!! She is wonderful....

[Dayniac4324]

You're right - she is absolutely terrific.

She has so much music - recorded over

600 songs - so there are a lot for you to discover !! I'm so happy you enjoyed this great DD song -- Thanks !!

[coywin]

This is terrific. By the way, it was Doris

herself who pointed out the fact that she

had appeared itn Roy Rogers film after I

told her that when I was a kid, I wanted to

marry him when I grew up. Met him as an

adult and wondered what my attraction to

him was all about. Both he and Dale

Evans were a lovely couple and that was

it.

[Dayniac4324]

Well - I'm sorry coywin - but I do have to disagree with you. It was the other Doris Day that appeared in a Roy Rogers movie. Not this one. You can check it out on imdb. Look up Saga of Death Valley 1939 - this Doris would have been 15. This Doris made her 1st movie in 1949-Romance on the High Seas.

The Doris Day in that movie was born in 1910 and died in 1998. You can also find pictures of her on the web. Definitely a different Doris.

[rockinrollsoul]

what a beautiful voice.

i could listen to her sing forever.

[Dayniac4324]

I agree with you rockinrollsoul ! I do listen to her a lot - like every day !! Glad you enjoyed !

[coywin]

I never imagined I could like Alabama until I

arrived there and took that ride. I never

could imagine a sky so full of stars that you

felt like plucking them out of the air. Not a

bad place at all. Thank you again.

[coywin]

Loved it when I was young and love it today.

Actually rode in a converible when stars really did fall on Alabama. She has it right

to a tee. Thank you.

[Dayniac4324]

Wow - I bet that was something !

Thank you - glad it brought you a

happy memory.

[joeasmythe]

I wish we had singers like Doris nowadays, so clean and classy.

[Dayniac4324]

joeasmythe -- I agree -- glad you enjoyed !!

[wyattmcintyre]

:) She has the voice to do this song, no doubt about it

[Dayniac4324]

One of my fav's Wyatt - I agree she has the voice for it !

[DunhillHilton]

One of the greatest songs ever. And nothing like Doris to sing it !

[Dayniac4324]

Love the song and love her version !

Glad you enjoyed !!

[babeofelvis]

[felicia1882]

Her version is very romantic - but I fear that Sinatra's version is more charming.
