  • Doris Day was (is) also a Christian Scientist, right? So therefore there aren't the issues of drugs and alcohol as with Billie Holiday? Day's voice certainly has a purer and more innocent tone than the great Billie. But I suppose the art of self-destruction, perhaps through no fault of Billie's horrible life, tends to have its dividends.

  • @elgar34 Yes, Doris was a Christian Scientist for many years. She lived by their standards pretty closely I believe. She even took all alcohol out of her house and installed a soda fountain. Although - I have several pictures of her with cigarette in hand during these years. I guess some habits are hard to break !

  • @Dayniac4324 Thanks for your reply! But I think Doris Day in later years never smoked, would that be correct? The founder of her church, Mary Baker Eddy, had the nastiest things to say about tobacco in her textbook, which IMO would be fair enough. But Mrs. Eddy goes on to condemn tea and coffee. She had very high standards, too high for me. I love coffee. But MBE was a very brave woman, I think she saw something that no one else did.

  • @elgar34 Yes - I think later she did not smoke. But I have pictures from the 1960's with her smoking on movie sets. Maybe making movies made her nervous. Doris is no longer a Christian Scientist. But I bet she incorporates some of the teachings in her current beliefs.

  • She is absolutely fabulous!

  • @elgar34 Have to agree with you ! She does give us a beautiful interpretation of this great song...no doubt about it !! So happy you enjoyed !

  • @deanoi5 Me too ... I'm right there with you .. feel the same way ! I love her version of this great song.

  • @Dayniac4324 Thanks for all your info!

  • Does she match Billie Holiday? It is tempting to consider that, heresy as it may seem.

  • @KeithHarperSF Me too, what an awesome lady.

  • @Dayniac4324 Enjoyed, yes. Doris Day was (is) so underrated . You should hear Don Shirley's interpretation of this song- it will bring tears. Cheers.
