About this playlist
Doris Day's ability to balance playful lightness with poignant balladry has showed up in many singers since. From its opening strings and “schoolgirl days”, Lulu's “To Sir With Love” shivers with similar vulnerability, while Petula Clark's “Downtown” weaves innocence into resilience. And more recent artists like Adele and She & Him have embraced the romantic intimacy that Day made her hallmark.
