Which is your favorite Doris Day song

Mine is Doris's interpretation of Make Someone Happy.

"Ready, Willing and Able"

Her older work is the best. The "movie Doris" simpers too much, especially given the inherent pleasant mediocrity of her voice.

Her version of Willie Nelson’s barroom lament Night Life is supreme.

It opens with a frenetic spoken segment that sounds like an intro to one of her 1960s sex comedies and then slides into swan lines and strings.

An unlikely choice for the singer, but for me, working against type pays off. It’s my favorite of all her recordings.

Honorable mention to most of the songs on DD’s Latin for Lovers album.

Quiet Nights and Quiet Stars.

I loved her cover of Three Coins In The Fountain. It was so much better than the Sinatra version used in the movie; that song just sounds better when it's sung by a cis-female.

"Everybody Loves a Lover." I like the Shirelles' version better, but this is a Doris Day thread.

The Andre Previn duet album has its moments, but Doris Day has some cloying affectations that a better producer would rein in.

Nobody’s Heart is all right. The album’s opener, Close Your Eyes, is awful, though, for the above reason.

Noel Coward's Someday I'll Find You" and Sigmund Romberg's "Who Are We to Say" because she is usually not associated with these composers and performs each song brilliantly.

I wish she was still alive so she could do a cover version of WAP.

When I was very young, before preschool, one of the first memories I still have, I literally asked my mom if I was going to be handsome when I grow up. She said Que Sera Sera and started singing the song in a soft way like a mother does with a smile. It brings a tear to my eye every time hear it I remember her.
