Doris Day's Hooray for Hollywood is a two C.D. set with each C.D. released a few months apart. Vol II was released in January of 1959. It features Day's clear voice singing show tunes from Broadway and accompanied by the Frank De Vol and his orchestra. De Vol also arranged the songs. This includes music from of the the great composers such as Irving Berlin, Ira and George Gershwin, Oscar Hammerstein II and Richard Rodgers. She sings from several different musics, many of them old and forgotten and others still remembered. The most recognized song is "It Might As Well be Spring" from State Fair. "Three Coins from a Fountain" is also very memorable. The majority of the musicals are from the 1930s.
It is an enjoyable arrangment of songs, but most obscure to me.
