Doris Day & Les Brown and His Band Of Renown β Sentimental Journey
βSentimental Journeyβ is a popular song, published in 1944. The music was written by Les Brown and Ben Homer, and the lyrics were written by Bud Green. Les Brown and His Band of Renown had been performing the song, but were unable to record it because of the 1942β44 musiciansβ strike. When the strike ended, the band, with Doris Day as vocalist, had a hit record with the song, Dayβs first #1 hit, in 1945. The songβs release coincided with the end of WWII in Europe and became the unofficial homecoming theme for many veterans.
