It's a Great Feeling

Jule Styne & Sammy Cahn • 1949

The title song for the 1949 Warner Bros. musical starring Doris Day, Jack Carson, and Dennis Morgan earned Cahn and Styne an Academy Award nomination. Day’s effervescent recording perfectly matched her sunny screen persona, and the song became one of her early signature numbers.

Part of a remarkable run of Cahn and Styne collaborations for Warner Bros. in the late 1940s that helped establish Doris Day as one of Hollywood’s brightest new stars.
