In this case, Doris Day and Robert Goulet were both major Columbia stars, and this was probably the most important album in this series.
At the time, Day was at the peak of her
movie
career and could not spare the time to go to the East Coast, where most of the production of this album took place. So she recorded her tracks at Columbia Records'
Los Angeles
studios and the tapes were sent to
New York City
, where
orchestral
arrangements were written by
Philip J. Lang
to fit Day's singing, a procedure rather contrary to normal practice. Goulet and the other singers, in turn, had to fit their keys and tempos to Lang's orchestral arrangements.
