About Latin for Lovers by Doris Day Album
Latin for Lovers was a Doris Day album, mostly composed of songs originating in Latin America, released by Columbia Records on March 22, 1965 as a monophonic LP (catalog number CL-2310) and a stereophonic album (catalog number CS-9110). It was one of the last albums Day recorded during her prolific entertainment career, which spanned nearly 50 years. Although "Fly Me to the Moon" was not of Latin-American origin, it was an early song adapted to the bossa nova dance then becoming popular, and so associated at the time with Latin America. A Columbia 45 r.p.m. single, Meditation / How Insensitive (Insensataez) (#4-43278), was released to coincide with the album. It featured "How Insensitive (Insensataez)" as the a-side and "Meditation" as the b-side. Neither song charted. The songs were arranged by Mort Garson, who also conducted the orchestra. The album was reissued in 2001, combined with Doris Day's Sentimental Journey, as a CD.
