About The Record:

Bright and Shiny by Doris Day, is a cheerful vocal pop album featuring her warm and optimistic singing backed by Neal Hefti's lively orchestra arrangements that emphasize upbeat and sunny moods. The title track Bright and Shiny, a perky original written by the Sherman Brothers, sets the tone for the record's focus on happiness and positivity. It includes spirited renditions of standards such as Singin' in the Rain, I Want to Be Happy, and Make Someone Happy, which stand out as fan-favorites for their joyful energy and Day's engaging delivery. A unique aspect is its cohesive theme of cheerfulness, with tracks like Keep Smilin', Keep Laughin', Be Happy and Happy Talk reinforcing an uplifting vibe during a time when Day was transitioning toward more television-oriented work.
