Rare songs (updated 02 - 09 - 2009)

[Peter Flapper]

Rare songs, live, from radio shows, from Columbia, from Best Friends

Hi there,

There are a lot of ‘lost / live / rare / unknown songs’ that are sung by Doris. A lot of them still exist in private collections from Doris Day fans, also in collections of old-time radio lovers and probably also in collections of radio stations and the film studio’s where Doris preformed and worked long ago. This list is a first step to get an overview on that lesser known body of work Doris has done.

On The Bear Family Sets there are 549 songs listed as records published by Columbia Records included are the songs from the Love Album. There are 42 songs Doris made with Les Brown, those are also not included on this list. I also didn’t included all the songs from the movies.

This list is a follow up to the list where I’m trying to list all Doris live radio performances that are know to me. I'm still working on both of those lists and if I will find more information, I’m going to share it with you.

The list below contains songs from live radio shows, songs that are recorded for radio shows and songs recorded for The Doris Day Show and the television specials. The list is not complete. So if you have song titles to add, that would be great. I also love to have the recording date or the airdate of the song if it’s available.

Great idea, Peter.

However, Garry's book has some errors in it. Many of what he lists as "Live" recordings from radio were actually studio recordings made for her radio show (for instance all the ones with Page Cavanaugh). And he missed some true live recordings that are out there, like a live recording of "Celery Stalks At Midnight" to name just one. But his book is a great starting point.

[Peter Flapper]

Hello John,

I've changed the list. Would love to hear what you and others think of it.\

Peter

[John M]

Peter, that is AWESOME!! You have done a stupendous job!

[BabeWilliams]

That is AMAZING... GREAT job Peter!

[rt]

Bear list 549
Les Brown (2 CDs) 42
Lost Treasures CD 17
Peter's list 333

Total 941

That's an awesome body of work in 27 years considering the 39 films too. WOW!

[Peter Flapper]

Hi rt,

Oops, I got it wrong - thanks for clarifying.

I've recently ordered the Bear sets and can't wait for them to arrive.

Hi there,

At the moment there are 931 songs which are sung by Doris. I didn't count the dubble takes of songs from the same sessions. But I realise now that she had to sing more than 931 times with a Big Band or Orchestra. That takes a lot of time in an human life. It's amazing what Doris did from 1939 until 1967, she had a lot going on. Live stands with Bands (mostly Les Brown) Radio Shows (singing, interviews, comedy sketches and hosting) making movies, being a mom and housewife, attend to shows etc. She really had a very busy life.

[dayniac]

I have all the Bear sets, and I LOVE them! Does anyone know if there is a recording of the song Day by Day that she sang on her special with John Denver?

[Peter Flapper]

Hi RueBea,

For all I know it's only on the dvd of the Doris Day Today special.

Hi RueBea,

That's too bad...I really enjoy that one.

Thank you for the info.

[Theodomus]

Wow, with the help of your terrific lists, Peter, I am just making my own inventory of which songs I've got and which I am still missing.

Thanks!

I do have a question:

61. It's A Crying Shame (with Les Brown) 15 – 01 – 1945

is it the same as "You Won't Be Satisfied (Until You Break My Heart)" ?

[mikeydv]

PETER:
How can we find and download some of these songs? Obviously, you have done a lot of homework!

[Peter Flapper]

Hi Mikeydv,

The most songs on my list are from the Bear Family Box sets. They are expensive, but they are from great quality and contain a lot of treasures. There are also a lot of different cd's around with songs sung by Doris but not recorded for the Columbia label. Most of these songs were publised on Hindsight Records. Then there are rare songs from people's privet collections. Rare radiorecordings from the 40's and 50's. Some I found through the net, others through Doris Day fanclubs.

P

[webmaster]

You can find some goodies in the member's forum (Small Talk), Mike, if you hunt around carefully.

I also just found this through a Google Alert:

DORIS DAY "Doris Mary Anne von Kappelhoff Takes On All Challengers:
http://musicalminded.blogspot.com/2008/ ... e-von.html

[mikeydv]

Day By Day (the song from Godspell) is available on a CD called DECADE, which features ALL the music from her two tv specials in the mid 70's.

[mikeydv]

STILL waiting for someone to find a recording of Day After Day (esp. if one available by Doris). Would be nice to hear the song she is named after.

Any more RARE records to listen to??? Would love to hear some of those from that longggg longggg list of songs she recorded but no one has ever heard.

Can anyone find any more of the old YOUR HIT PARADE shows with Frank and Doris? Would love to hear some of those that were aired when ITS MAGIC hit the #1 position.

[Father Jack]

Unashamedly, I will give you the link to my collection of Doris Day albums on my blog

http://musicalminded.blogspot.com/search?q=doris+day

Top of the list of about 50 albums is "Day By Day"

Hi

Reference Doris' song from "Best Friends" ..which you have listed as "Stew Beau" ..surely this is Doris'
version of the Joan Baez (and others) semi-traditional song "Stewball" (or sometimes "Skewball"). The name comes from the brown and white marked horses known as Skewbalds. Doris was always famed for her perfect diction and clarity of words within her songs. It is pretty clear to me that she is singing "Stewball" here.

STILL waiting for someone to find a recording of Day After Day (esp. if one available by Doris). Would be nice to hear the song she is named after.

Any more RARE records to listen to??? Would love to hear some of those from that longggg longggg list of songs she recorded but no one has ever heard.

Can anyone find any more of the old YOUR HIT PARADE shows with Frank and Doris? Would love to hear some of those that were aired when ITS MAGIC hit the #1 position.

A little late...I'm a huge Doris fan but new to this forum..
I don't believe Doris ever recorded "Day After Day" .. I have a version by Helen Forrest recorded in 1938
with Artie Shaw. I presume it IS the song Doris sang. Helen was a singer who Doris would have been familiar with and she sounds very like the early band singer Doris. It is a jazzy "1930 early 40's" number ..very instumental with short vocals. It is easy to imagine Doris singing it. The composers were
Johnny Green and Richard Himber. The Helen Forrest CD is "Helen Forrest with Artie Shaw and his Orchestra..Sweeter as the years go by" Jasmine JASMCD 2550.
