The CD includes an upbeat collection of American standard songs with eclectic, daring arrangements. Nellie McKay said to the press: “From a woman’s perspective, Ms. Day says a lot about her times as a popular icon that reconciled the conflicting ideas of what women ‘should’ be – the quest for love and fulfillment as homemaker and wife. Doris Day is one of my personal favorites so I was pleased to see this fresh, young artist revive her work.  Nellie McKay sings favorites such as “I Remember You” and “Meditation” on “Normal as Blueberry Pie”.

She was born in London, on April 13 and then she moved to New York. In 1994, she moved to Olympia, Washington and she came back to the east coast to graduate high school in the Poconos.

Today Doris Day is the top-ranking woman box office star of all time.
