Iconic actress/singer DORIS DAY (aged 97 now) scored a No. 1 in the UK
58 years ago today, on 5 August 1956 with WHATEVER WILL BE, WILL BE
(QUE SERA, SERA)
. The song was written by composers Jay Livingston and
Ray Evans. It was featured in Alfred Hitchcock thriller The Man Who Knew
Too Much
.

Last June post-punk celebs PIXIES covered the song,
as B-side for their new track You’re So Impatient.

Ps: Guess what? Tonight I’ll see Pixies at Lokerse Feesten in Belgium. What are the odds?
