Mary's Thoughts on Doris Day:
Doris Day's intimacy with a lyric knows no peer. I was first introduced to her as a comedic actress in Pillow Talk, but my ventures into her musical films and recordings reveal one of the finest singers of her time, and a stellar interpreter of the Great American Songbook. It's a true privilege to get to honour her on the eve of her 100th birthday.
