In his liner notes to the 1993 CD reissue of this 1964 studio cast recording of The King and I, Marc Kirkeby suggests two reasons for its existence, first that the 1951 original cast of the show "lacked great singers," and second that no stereo version of the show existed. But the 1956 original soundtrack, which was in stereo, boasted a "great singer" in Marni Nixon. Actually, there are two better reasons why Columbia Records chose to make a recording of the show. First, it didn't have one -- the original Broadway cast album was on Decca, and the original soundtrack was on Capitol. Second, RCA Victor, Columbia's third major rival, was about to record the 1964 Broadway revival. Coming up with a studio cast album gave Columbia a competitive product in the marketplace. The highlights of this version are found in the principals, Barbara Cook, who had appeared in a 1960 New York revival, giving a characteristically warm and affecting performance as Anna Leonowens, and Theodore Bikel, late of The Sound of Music, being, for once, a king who could sing. But the album on the whole falls victim to a typical weakness of studio cast albums: Never having been onstage together, the performers sound like they're in different shows. Bikel is the only one who is trying for a dramatic portrayal; Cook doesn't bother to alter her accent, so her declaration that she comes from Wales in one song is laughable. And songs like "My Lord and Master" are sung by opera singers -- like Jeanette Scovotti -- who sound like opera singers. The result is a muddle, though there are some fine performances. (This album marks the first recording of "Western People Funny." "March of the Siamese Children," a Cleveland Pops performance, has been added for the CD reissue.) ~ William Ruhlmann

Recording information: Chicago, IL (11/29/1940-12/28/1948); Hollywood, CA (11/29/1940-12/28/1948); London, England (11/29/1940-12/28/1948); Los Angeles, CA (11/29/1940-12/28/1948); New York, NY (11/29/1940-12/28/1948).
The Doris Day of the early 1940s is not the stereotype that persists today. Her transition from swing band vocalist to pop vocalist and then film icon effectively left her early jazz work relegated to the periphery of her stardom. This is a shame since her early singing career draws comparisons to such luminaries as Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald. The three best collections of this early material include the double album Complete Doris Day With Les Brown, the six-CD box set It's Magic, and this two-CD set. The buyer investigating Day's early music will find the 145-track large set to be daunting and might first enjoy the 42-track Complete Doris Day With Les Brown. The argument for Formative Years lies in its track selection. Disc one include 24 songs from her collaboration with the Les Brown Orchestra as a jazz and dance band vocalist. This part includes such standouts as Johnny Mercer's "Dig It," Irving Berlin's "I Got the Sun in the Morning," and the moody ballad "We'll Be Together Again." The second disc contains songs from when Day left the band to pursue a solo career. Imagine a one-disc sampler from each of the larger sets and you will have a good idea about what to expect from Formative Years, which collects a healthy does of music from Doris Day's jazz and initial pop vocal phases. The Formative Years may be the best introduction to the jazzy, 1940s Doris Day because it presents the evolution of her musical career from her beginning work to her popular breakthrough. The collection should appeal to those who want a more complete overview without the cost of the larger set. After a few listens to The Formative Years, Complete Doris Day With Les Brown will become the next essential purchase. ~ JT Griffith
