Doris Day: My Heart – Doris Day 2011

My Heart is the long-awaited studio album from legendary Hollywood singer and actress and Doris Day. This is Doris Day’s first studio album of new material in 17 years; a dozen songs of a timeless quality, with nine brand-new recordings produced by top UK record producer Ted Carfrae from sessions originally produced by Day’s late son, Terry Melcher plus a trio of Day classics. Doris Day has been fully involved with the musical selections for this special release. Her son Terry Melcher--who was known as a songwriter and producer for folk-rock pioneers The Byrds (“Mr. Tambourine Man”) and other artists--co-wrote four of the new songs with Beach Boys member Bruce Johnston: the emotional title track "My Heart," the romantic "The Way I Dreamed It," the haunting "Happy Endings" – sung by Melcher with a newly recorded spoken-word introduction by Day for her fans – and the single release "Heaven Tonight."

Also on the set list are three classic rock-era favorites: Joe Cocker’s ballad "You Are So Beautiful", the Lovin Spoonful’s joyful 1966 hit "Daydream" and The Beach Boys’ nostalgic "Disney Girls," the latter written by Bruce Johnston, who co-produced three of the recordings on Day’s My Heart album.
