Product Description
My Heart is the long-awaited studio album from legendary Hollywood singer and actress and Doris Day. This is Doris Day’s first studio album of new material in 17 years; a dozen songs of a timeless quality, with nine brand-new recordings produced by top UK record producer Ted Carfrae from sessions originally produced by Day’s late son, Terry Melcher plus a trio of Day classics. Doris Day has been fully involved with the musical selections for this special release. Her son Terry Melcher--who was known as a songwriter and producer for folk-rock pioneers The Byrds (“Mr. Tambourine Man”) and other artists--co-wrote four of the new songs with Beach Boys member Bruce Johnston: the emotional title track "My Heart," the romantic "The Way I Dreamed It," the haunting "Happy Endings" – sung by Melcher with a newly recorded spoken-word introduction by Day for her fans – and the single release "Heaven Tonight."
Also on the set list are three classic rock-era favorites: Joe Cocker’s ballad "You Are So Beautiful", the Lovin Spoonful’s joyful 1966 hit "Daydream" and The Beach Boys’ nostalgic "Disney Girls," the latter written by Bruce Johnston, who co-produced three of the recordings on Day’s My Heart album.

Fabulous to hear Doris Day singing at any time As a great fan of Alice Faye I understand Doris's agent when he said that "People could identify themselves with Alice and they can with Doris". This epitomises a chapter in her life to produce a beautifully emotional album. We all know of her persona and her supreme film career with memorable moments with co-stars (Sinatra, Cagney, Hudson, Garner) coming to mind easily. This compilation really needs no further introduction. Doris Day is a supreme artist. The songs are delivered in her own inimitable way. Vintage, yes, but old, no. Wonderful. A reminder of her vocal talent. Up there with the tops. 'You Are So Beautiful' and 'Disney Girls' tell it all.

How wonderful to hear some new recordings from the period 1985/1986
when Doris was in her 60's but still had that magic touch in her
voice when she sang.
The selection taken I understand from her American TV series from that
era, "Best Friends". It would be lovely to hear also some of the other songs
featured from the series on another CD, maybe in the future.
My favourite title from the album is "My Heart" although all the tracks are
very listenable and to have the 8 tracks taken from the period of the 1980's
digitally enhanced gives a real polish to the sound quality.
I understand Doris wasn't happy with the original recordings from that period
but what a joy
that she decided to commission the release of this album in memory of her dear
late son, Terry.
A really lovely album!

From day one when this album was announced, it was made clear that the unreleased songs were from 1986 actually recorded for her Best Friend show but never released. I own all the songs recorded and I treasure them. Doris is the best singer in the business and all of us fans should consider this release a
beautiful gift. Knowing Miss Day, it never entered my mind that she actually recorded these songs today.( She probably could have and still sounded great)
Her intro to her sons solo number is beautifully done and although she sounds older she does not sound shaky. It took 20 years to finally hear her LOVE ALBUM and now 25 years later we are getting another amazing album. She adapts well to the sound of the 80's and I haven't heard a more beautiful version of You Are so Beautiful. As fans, we should embrace this release and stop the criticisms. It's a five star release!!!!!
