Doris Day Early Day Rare Songs from the Radio

"That kid is a real hot singer!"  Cincinnati bandleader Barney Rapp was quick to recognize young Doris Mary Anne Kappelhoff.  The leader of the New Englanders urged the young vocalist to change her name, taking his cue from the song with which she left him smitten: "Day After Day."  She became Doris Day, and the rest is history.  On April 1, Real Gone Music celebrates the centennial year of the timeless artist, actress, and passionate animal rights advocate who died in 2019 at the age of 97 with

Neil Sedaka Gold

Today, we're rounding up a quartet of recent additions to Crimson Productions' ever-growing library of 3-CD Gold collections! The Foundations occupy a place in history as the first multi-racial band to score a U.K. No. 1 single in the 1960s.  While the pop-soul group's run of hits was relatively short-lived, their classics "Build Me Up, Buttercup" and "Baby, Now That I've Found You" still remain in the rotation on oldies stations everywhere.  Crimson's Gold volume proves that The Foundations'

Without a golden wand or mystic charms, fantastic things began when Doris Day lifted her voice in song.  Doris Mary Anne Kappelhoff of Cincinnati, Ohio intended to pursue a career as a dancer, but a car accident at age thirteen curtailed her plans. "I couldn't walk for almost three years," she told The Hollywood Reporter in 2011. She then added with characteristic spirit and optimism, "That was the greatest thing that happened. Instead of dancing, I sang. They carried me three times a week up a
