I'm a huge Doris Day Fan. I was very excited to find this CD. However, it's my own fault for not reading the description closely enough. If you are a fan of the On Moonlight Bay/By the Light of the Silvery Moon movies, you will be disappointed to learn that the male portions of the songs are NOT performed by Gordon MacRae. Lyrics are different than in the movies - it was just not very enjoyable. Doris' performances, as always, a pleasure - but vocals by Gordon MacRae would have made this a top-notch "must have".
This combination of musical scores from two of Doris Day's earlier movies is an album one can listen to again and again, each time savoring the gentle flavor of the time the songs were scored. We miss these simple love ballads today, and must revert to "oldies" to rekindle the spirit. These "oldies" are among the best there are.
You I'm just 16 years old and I'm smart enough to know that Doris Day is the worlds most underrated singer. This cd is her best, you get two soundtracks to her best two musical on one CD!!! You get all the Songs from Moonlight Bay, and Silver Moon. This is fun music the whole family will enjoy. It's great make out mood music too baby!!!
