If you want a Doris Day hits album this has all the important tracks you will need. It also has a few good tracks seldom on other compilations..."Fly me to the moon"...."Close your eyes"...."Dream a little dream of me".All gorgeous. However if,like me, you are an ardent fan you will notice there are two previously unreleased tracks( from TV specials sources)which you MUST have. They aren't wonderful but they're not at all bad. To hear Doris singing "Feelin groovy" is interesting.As for "The way we were".....you've got to own it. They are very clever at this repackaging job. Genuine Doris fans will buy it for those two tracks and I have to admit other fans who just want the hits,well, you can't go wrong.

A magical collection of hits and rarities...
"The Magic of Doris Day" is a cutely packaged CD collection from Doris's official record label SonyBMG. It features a nicely balanced combination of international hit singles and essential album recordings from the Columbia vaults. The real bonus for fans are the inclusion of two songs that make their debut on CD. These gems were recorded after Doris had departed her long-time label and had embarked on a very successful 'sitcom' career on American television. Included is a medley that in part featured on her first TV special and her heartfelt rendition of Streisand's "The Way We Were" which she taped live during her second and last TV special.

Brilliant compilation of movie songs
First, note that this compilation has since been repackaged as 41 Hollywood greats with one extra track (Perhaps perhaps perhaps) and a different running order.
With the possible exception of Barbra Streisand, Doris was the most successful singer-actress of the twentieth century - and I'm referring to those who were equally regarded as both singers and actresses. This compilation feature many songs from movies that Doris starred in, but it also includes songs from other movies that Doris recorded simply because she wanted to.
Although this is not a greatest hits package, it features several songs that became big hits for Doris including Move over darling (a UK top ten hit in the sixties), Whatever will be will be, Secret love (both UK number one hits), Black hills of Dakota (a UK top ten hit and my favorite Doris song), I'll never stop loving you (a UK top twenty hit) and several American hits that didn't chart in Britain. Among these is When I fall in love, which charted in Britain for Nat King Cole several years after Doris had a top twenty hit with it in America.
Of the movies that Doris starred in, Calamity Jane is represented by Secret love, Black hills of Dakota and The deadwood stage. Other songs from her own movies included here are It's magic, Move over darling, Tunnel of love, Pillow talk, Teacher's pet and Whatever will be will be - but a lot of her own movie songs have been omitted to make way for covers of other movie songs including Let's face the music and dance, Three coins in the fountain, Night and day, On the street where you live, Singing in the rain, Cheek to cheek, Over the rainbow, White Christmas, Swinging on a star and High hopes.
This is a magnificent collection but if you're looking for the definitive collection of Doris Day's songs from the movies she acted and sang in, this isn't it. Indeed, I'm not sure that such a collection has been released. Just enjoy this collection for what it is - a brilliant selection of movie songs generally.
