Doris Day - Latin for Lovers (1965)

Definitively, today was not a great day from the IT side, but from the music side, I think it was one of the greatest ones, sabadabada update with Balanco Trio LP, Briamonte and now this new and amazing LP that I will describe bellow. I hope that all IT issues were solved for tomorrow, 48 Hours of Tom Jobim, as they seem to be right now.

This is Doris Day - Latin for Lovers (1965), for Columbia. Yes, it is exactly what you are seeing and reading, this is Doris Day debut LP at Loronix and I'm sure that you will have a good time with it.

I have to admit that the first time I took a Doris Day for a hearing was today. In my green head, Doris Day was an actress that eventually performs as a singer. Ouch! I was wrong. Doris Day is THE singer, by the way, fantastic singer, fantastic voice and breathtaking beauty. Thanks to Lieze, which is Caetano's wife, absolutely crazy for Doris Day and decided to present Loronixers this LP, very suitable to us, full of Tom Jobim compositions and Bossa Nova rhythms throughout the album.

Thanks Lieze and thanks Caetano for sharing this pearl. This record should reveal several hidden fans of Doris Day. I invite you do discuss Doris Day with us in comments section. Tracks include:
