1922

Doris Mary Ann Von Kappelhoff was born on April 3, 1922, in Evanston, Ohio.

1946

Day remained a big band singer until 1946, when she embarked on a solo career.

1947

Following her second hit record with Brown, "My Dreams Are Getting Better All The Time," Doris went solo with a contract from Columbia Records in 1947.

1951

On a personal level, Doris married her agent, Marty Melcher, in 1951.

1955

She made the bio-pic Love Me Or Leave Me, based on the life of ‘20s singer Ruth Etting, in 1955 for MGM; it was hailed as a triumph for both her singing and acting.

1959

Then, in 1959, Doris paired with Rock Hudson in Pillow Talk for Universal.

Cuttin' Capers (1959) proved to be a knock-out, up-and-at-‘em swinger that hit its mark with a mix of brilliantly orchestrated standards and newer numbers.

1962

Among these, Duet recorded in 1962 with the Andre Previn Trio, embodied all that is great about Doris' vocal style.

1964
