Friday Night Jukebox, Vol. DLXX--Doris Day: Que Sera, Sera (Whatever Will Be, Will Be)

Thank you falettinme be...(nine days) late again....

My original introduction to this week's tune came way back in the day before the internet and cell phones when, for entertainment, my family would sing songs around the table after dinner.  It probably sounds incredibly quaint in this day and age, but I have a lot of fond memories and my family singing this tune was one of them.  My actual introduction to this week's version was upon hearing it on the Rhino release Sentimental Journey, a four CD set featuring some of America's best vocalists of the forties and fifties.  Our song of the week will actually be the fourth song featured from that album (one, two, and three)--to say that it's influence on my musical tastes was massive would be an understatement....

Born Doris Mary Anne Kappelhoff (the first bandleader she worked for, Barney Rapp, suggested the name change to Doris Day) in Cincinnati in 1922, she would begin her musical career singing with big bands in 1937 at the ripe old age of fifteen.  By 1945 she'd had her first number one record ("Sentimental Journey," an absolute American standard), and she parlayed her early success into a career that is much too long and varied to cover in a paragraph.  In short, Day would continue recording (though intermittently) until 2011, became a huge box office star in the fifties and sixties, have her own television show in the seventies, and her own talk show in the eighties.  Day became somewhat of a recluse in her later years, turning down several awards and tributes because she didn't want to appear in person.  She was also involved in causes for animals, including founding her own nonprofit, the Doris Day Animal Foundation.  Day died of complications from pneumonia in 2019 at the age of 97.

"Que Sera Sera (Whatever Will Be, Will Be) was released as a single in 1956.  It went to number two on the Billboard Hot 100 and would reach #1 on the British singles chart.  It is considered Day's signature song.

Fun Fact:  "Que Sera Sera (Whatever Will Be, Will Be)" was originally introduced in the1956 Alfred Hitchcock film The Man Who Knew Too Much as a plot device.  It won the Academy Award for Best Original Song and was eventually inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.

This one is about as sweet as sweet can be, featuring a woman at three different points in her life.  In the first she's asking her mother, in the second she's asking her sweetheart, and in the third her children are asking her the same momentous questions:  just what the future will hold.  And the answer, amazingly enough, is a quite honest assessment of the ways of the world "que sera sera, whatever will be, will be."  The melody is sugary ear candy, and Day's voice is nothing short of wondrous, carrying the words and music to pop music heaven.  It's a song from a different time that despite our ever-changing world remains timeless.

Lyric Sheet:  "When I grew up and fell in love/I asked my sweetheart, what lies ahead/Will we have rainbows/Day after day/Here's what my sweetheart said..."

Enjoy:

Friday Night Jukebox, Vol. DLXIX--Rod Stewart: Maggie May

 I once was lost, but now I'm found, was blind, but now...I'm (only six days?) late again....

My introduction to this week's tune is probably the fact that I was born.  It's one of rock's most iconic songs, and beyond a shadow of a doubt the signature song of this week's artist.  And it's probably somewhere on just about every list of the greatest rock songs ever, and most deservedly so....

Though I really love (early) Rod Stewart, I probably wouldn't put him in my top ten favorite artists ever, but oddly enough, no one is even close when it comes to appearances here on Friday Night Jukebox.  Thus far, Stewart has had three posts on singles of his (Vol. III--going back a a long way! Vol. XXXVI, and Vol. CCCLIV), one post on my album of the year writings (amazingly enough, this week's tune is from that very album--Vol. CCXXXII), three posts as the lead singer of the Faces (Vol. CCXXVI, Vol. CDVII, and Vol. DXXXVI), and one as the lead vocalist on a Jeff Beck single (Vol. CCCXXXI).  Which means this is the ninth time his work has been featured here, which is really saying something (to steal a song title).  And somehow, through all of those, I managed to never post a link to Stewart's discography, which I'll rectify here.  Stewart released his last studio album in 2024 and was on tour this year at the ripe old age of eighty until illness forced him to cancel dates.

"Maggie May" was released in 1971 on the definitive--and one of my five favorite albums of all time--Rod Stewart album, Every Picture Tells a Story.  The single hit #1 (with a bullet in America!) in both the U.S. and the U.K., while reaching the top five in nine other countries, somehow hitting only #11 in Germany (what the fuck, Germany?  It hit number 8 in fucking Zimbabwe for Christ's sake....).  It's listed at #130 on Rolling Stone's list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All-Time, and at #182 on Billboard's
list of their All-Time charts.

Fun Fact:  "Maggie May" was originally released as the B-side of "Reason to Believe."  Radio stations quickly picked up on the brilliance of the B-side and turned it into a hit.  Good call radio stations!

This week's tune is kind of a cheat, as I wrote about it when I wrote about Every Picture Tells a Story:

"Maggie May":  The song that made Stewart a star--and rightfully so.  A #1 hit here and in the U.K., it's smart pop for the masses as Stewart spins the tale of a young man in love with an older woman who's making a fool of him, but he just can't leave her even though he knows he should.  Great drumming again from Waller, great guitar from Wood, stunning mandolin work from Lindsay Jackson, and an impassioned performance from Stewart.  Little known fact:  there's an instrumental intro to the song called "Henry" that in some versions is treated as an intro and in others as a separate (though at 32 seconds, very short) song.  Favorite line:  "I suppose I could collect my books and get on back to school/Or steal my Daddy's cue and make a living out of playing pool/ Or find myself a rock and roll band that needs a helpin' hand..."

Not much I can add to that, other than that the song is actually autobiographical)--I just felt the song was so good that it deserved its very own post.  I have a hunch there's a couple of other songs featured on album posts that will get this very same treatment someday....

Lyric Sheet:  [Blogger's Note:  Going to use a different line than the one above because it's my prerogative, to steal another song title....] "Maggie, I wished I'd never seen your face/I'll get on back home one of these days/[Another Blogger's Note:  One of the truly great "ooh-oohs of all-time] Ooh, ooh..."

Enjoy:

It's nonsensical

So, Trump’s plan is to give a $2K one time payment to Americans instead of to insurance companies, but Americans are supposed to use the $2K to buy insurance from insurance companies. Did I get that right? Not only is it willfully insufficient for people’s healthcare needs, but it’s nonsensical.
