Early Les Brown Classics featuring lead singer Doris Day,
By Ray "Ray" (Alberta) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Comp Recordings (Audio CD)
This is a great collection of early Les Brown classics featuring Doris Day as his lead singer. They were recorded from 1940 when Doris at 18 years of age was already a big band regular (having previously sung for the Bob Crosby band since age 16) until she left Les Brown in 1947 to become a movie star.The Les Brown orchestra was at their peak at that time and Doris's superb young voice blended in well with Les's smooth swing and jazz arrangements. Included in this collection are the swing million sellers "Sentimental Journey" and "My Dreams are Getting Better all the Time". A truly great compilation of songs from the early career of a internationally famous Hollywood icon.

Great young Doris,
By Ukrit Patnoi - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Comp Recordings (Audio CD)
When I placed the order for this CD set, there were a couple of questions lingering on my mind. I had heard only two songs from this collection, would the others be as satisfying? Would the sound quality be decent given that the collection was compiled from the 78s? Without reviews and song samples to guide me, the risk was considerable. When I got the CDs and turned them on, my questions were answered favourably. The sound quality was quite good. There were both swing songs and ballads in the collection. Doris Day sang the quick-tempo songs magnificently with her crisp, cheerful voice. As for the ballads, she imbued each of them with the appropriate emotion. Les Brown of course lived up to the band of renown epithet. If you like Doris Day because of the catchy tunes she sang in the 50's and 60's, you should try this set as an adventure and you will be transported into a foreign territory but with the same familiar voice. If you like Doris Day because of her artistry or if you are a fan of the swing bands, there's no reason not to buy this one.

the beginnings of a legend,
By Jim Z "music aficionado" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Comp Recordings (Audio CD)
Such an angelic voice at such a young age. These are Doris' first recordings. The Jazz Factory has done a marvelous job with these 50+ year old recordings. Buy this first , then save up for the Bear Family boxes. Man , what a voice !
