Doris Day - Que Sera Sera (1956)


"Que Sera, Sera (Whatever Will Be, Will Be)", first published in 1956, is a popular song which was written by the Jay Livingston and Ray Evans songwriting team.

The song was introduced in Alfred Hitchcock's 1956 film THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH, with Doris Day and James Steward in the lead roles. Doris Day's recording of the song for Columbia Records was a hit in both the United States (where it made it to number two on the Billboard charts) and the United Kingdom.

From 1968 to 1973, it was the theme song for the sit-com THE DORIS DAY SHOW, becoming her signature song. It reached the Billboard magazine charts in July 1956. The song received the 1956 Academy Award for Best Original Song with the alternative title "Whatever Will Be, Will Be (Que Sera, Sera)". It was the third Oscar in this category for Livingston and Evans, who previously won in 1948 and 1950.
