  • Big Band Jump Newsletter
    BIG BAND JUMP NEWSLETTER VOLUME XXVII BIG BAND JUMP NEWSLETTER JULY-AUGUST 1993 DORIS DAY INTERVIEW The Background She really wanted to be a dancer, and with her partner was one of the most accomplished dancers in Ohio when an automobile accident ended that possibility. As noted in our conversation, when she could no longer dance she chose singing. Her mother was her constant companion, and as is often the case, seemed to fulfill her own aspirations through her daughter. In her frank autobiography of some years ago, Doris Day's real life was not quite as idyllic as some of her movie roles or her image as a vocalist.
