Legacy Recordings

If you picture Doris Day evading the clutches of Rock Hudson or Cary Grant in one of those benign battle-of-the-sexes early ’60s films, or as the sunny-smiled TV sitcom star of the 1970s, you’re likely to underrate her career as a pop vocalist. Still, there’s no denying her 1940s big band recordings with Les Brown, the intimate charm of “It’s Magic” and “Secret Love” (they seem the model for many of Karen Carpenter’s loveliest recordings), and this evocation of optimistic domesticity in ’50s America, included in the Alfred Hitchcock movie, The Man Who Knew Too Much.
