Was "I Can't Give You Anything but Love" issued as a single?

I know she recorded the song -- I have it on a CD. But I'm trying to find out whether it was originally a single, and if so, the catalog number. Wikipedia says she recorded it in 1953; I've searched the Columbia discography data for around 1953 on http://78discography.com and I don't see it.

No, Bruce. It was NOT released as a single. It was one of the songs she sang on her radio show but never released, along with such others as "Love to Be With You" and "Be Anything, But Be Mine" and "Because You're Mine" and about 50 others.

I either haven't listened to Doris sing this ever before or have totally forgotten about it! We're talking about the same song Katharine Hepburn & Cary Grant are 'singing' in Bringing up baby, right? I've always adored this tune, off to listen to Doris' version!

Don't know about a single. The song is on the CD "Doris Day..The Complete Standard Transcriptions" on the SOUNDIES lable SCD4109. The booklet doesn't give an exact recording date, but 1952/3 would be about right. She is accompanied by a small instrumental group, probably the Buddy Cole trio.

It was a small group directed by Van Alexander, who also did the chart. It was done for a radio transcription service for broadcast on her CBS radio show and was never released as a single.
