Doris Day - Nice Work If You Can Get It

Great Question....particularly since Doris Day and Billy Wilder were friends. He had dinner at her home on a regular basis with a small group of friends.

Rioamigo, I keep promising myself I'll read Billy's bio or autobiography one of these days, but still haven't. It's also interesting comparing Billy's first choice femme fatales to Doris. IMHO Doris was very much the genuinely sweet friendly 'girl next door' type whereas Marilyn was clearly a man eater who left only skeletal remains after she'd finished with them. So some of us are lucky to still be alive ;-)

i like this type of music..im 18 and honestly i would prefere this music over rap. i dont even listen to rap anyways but these songs have more meaning then songs today.and at least you can understand wat there saying the whole time too:) i bet you i own more oldie and big band cd's then any other teenager i know:) i think doris day is an icon and role model.

That's very refreshing to me. I have to say I really don't see the attraction to rap music. You are so right - you can't understand the majority of what they're saying ! And what you do understand you usually wish you hadn't !
Being a teenager in the late 60's early
70's I like a fair amount of rock music - but I always come back to this type of music. Being an old movie nut might have something to do with it !
Thanks for your great comment - really happy you enjoyed !

I HIGHLY recommend you get an album called "The Glory of Gershwin'...Sting sings this song, Meat Loaf sings Somebody Loves Me...Elton John does Our Love is Here to Stay/Someone to Watch Over Me...the record includes Carly Simon, Robert Palmer, Jon Bon Jovi, Lisa Stansfield, Sinead O'Connor, Elvis Costello...it is absolutely priceless. You will NOT regret it!

I will check that out ... sounds very interesting ... thanks for the tip !

Nice video from the biggest Doris fan on you tube!!
Great job Toni!
