“Was watching a Doris Day movie out of the corner of my eye while writing, this evening. I really think Doris Day is the most wonderful lady singer in history. I spend a lot of time watching old movies out of the corner of my eye, because my dear wife is devoted to the vintage Hollywood genre, Fred Astaire, James Mason, James Cagney. I love them all, by proxy. I spend a lot of my evenings wondering what some of these singers would have sounded like with the benefit of Pro-Tools, to fix the little inaccuracies. But when the divine Doris Day comes, I go into a kind of trance. It is simply unbelievable how accurate she is. I think one day someone will be able to prove that she had the best pitch of any girl in history. But she is way beyond accurate. Every note is found, approached by various routes according to context, hit with a million different inflections, caressed, adored, and allowed to gently fall to the Earth. She is technically unmatched, adorable, mind-blowingly expressive, and probably the best interpreter of a song I ever saw. I just hope she knows how much she is still loved and respected. Will somebody please tell her? She is the ultimate, as far as I’m concerned. Doris Rocks!” — Brian May<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
