"  I Have dreamed"  Richard Rodgers, like Jerome Kern, was a notorious stickler for wanting his songs to be sung exactly as they appeared on the printed sheet music. He hated how vocalists and jazz musicians altered the tempos and added improvisational twists to the original compositions.
He did compliment Dorsi Day saying " Her version of  " I Have Dreamed" was the finest interpretation he had ever heard of  his famous waltx from "  The King and I."

Doris Dy was much more than the young lady courted by Rock Hudson or James Garner in polite sex comedies. Will Freidwald, a most critical song scholar, described her voice sounding like " Liquid Sunshine."
