She sang with Les Brown and His Band of Renown. She was Hollywood's Girl Next Door in the 50's. Wham! name-checked her on their 1984 hit, "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go".
Doris Day starred in movies with the likes of Frank Sinatra, Clark Gable, Ronald Reagan, Rock Hudson, & Howard Keel, just to name a few. Back in the day, her movies were often rotated on local television to fill time during weekend afternoons.
After the end of her self-titled sitcom (1968-73), Doris became more prominent as an animal rights activist, a cause she championed to the very end.
Doris Day passed away at age 97, leaving behind a lifetime of memories. Radio stations around the country are playing her music today in celebration of a fabulous career.
Rather than do the obvious and post a clip of Doris performing her trademark song, "Que Sera Sera", which became the theme to her sitcom, we'll serve up a sample clip from the show, co-starring McLean Stevenson, Rose Marie, & Denver Pyle.
Rest in peace.
