A big hit of the early LP era, the soundtrack of this biopic of Ruth Etting spent 17 weeks at the top of Billboard's chart. Despite the frequent intrusiveness of Percy Faith's orchestral accompaniment, Day performs convincingly on ballads such as the title song, "Ten Cents a Dance," and the single "I'll Never Stop Loving You." Some impossibly hokey up-tempo material ("Sam, the Old Accordion Man") doesn't help, however. --Rickey Wright

Customer Reviews

One of Doris Day's very best albums
"Love Me or Leave Me," a huge best-seller when it was released with the movie back in the mid-50s, remains one of Doris Day's best albums. The arrangements are lush, her voice is at its best, and the songs are some of the lasting standards of the 20s, with a couple of newer tunes written for the movie. Her versions of "It All Depends on You" and "Mean to Me" are especially memorable. A great singer at her peak.

Love Me or Leave Me - Doris Day
Really wanted this CD in the worst way but unfortunately it wouldn't play on my Sony equipment so I had to return it.

A Shining Day
The music for this movie was designed, I think, to show Doris Day at her best. Other collections of her vocals, such as Complete Recordings with Les Brown, fail to showcase Ms. Day's remarkable range, and also fail to show her contrasting styles. In the movie, Ms. Day's character, Ruth Etting, is hardly happy and the mournful tunes Ms. Day sings do justice to Ruth's sad life. But, wonder of wonders, when Ms. Day sings "At Sundown," the kind of perky, peppy tune everyone associates with her, she delivers the song so effortlessly and beautifully that you wish Ruth had never lived an unhappy moment.
