Considering Doris Day spent most of her best years with Columbia (late '40s to the mid-'60s), this hits-roundup from the label makes for a perfect introductory disc. Although a might slim, the 12-track set includes most of the key songs ("Secret Love," "Que Sera, Sera," "Teacher's Pet") and spotlights Day at her vivacious best. Featuring fine takes on "Lullaby of Birdland" and Rodgers & Hart's classic "Bewitched," too, Greatest Hits bubbles over with high-end pop, sturdy arrangements, and, of course, Day's sunshine-in-January pipes. Commence smiling now.
