In 1991, Sony Music, by then owner of the Epic catalog, accidentally issued a sequencing of Fresh on CD featuring alternate takes of every song except "In Time", which remained unchanged. As a result, alternate and significantly different versions of at least ten songs from the album are known to exist. Īs with There's a Riot Goin' On, Stone held on to the Fresh masters well beyond the record's official release, constantly remixing and re-recording the tracks.
The track "If It Were Left Up to Me" is purportedly an outtake from 1968's Life. "Que Sera, Sera" is notable as the only cover song issued on an original Family Stone album. Other notable tracks include "Frisky" and " Que Sera, Sera (Whatever Will Be, Will Be)", a cover of Doris Day's Academy Award-winning song from Alfred Hitchcock's 1956 film The Man Who Knew Too Much, sung here by Rose Stone. I feel like that song is both melancholy and hopeful.The album's biggest hit was " If You Want Me to Stay". "It was written specifically for the film, and Doris Day hated the song, according to folklore," Lauderdale says. The film starred Doris Day, who sang the original version of "Whatever Will Be, Will Be." Pink Martini's music director, Thomas Lauderdale, notes that this dippy tune comes from Alfred Hitchcock's 1956 movie, The Man Who Knew Too Much, which revolves around a kidnapped child. That might be what "Que Sera Sera" has always deserved. "We take a song that is very familiar and completely turn it upside down and put it in and make it dark," she tells Steve Inskeep.
Lead singer China Forbes explains the group's version of "Que Sera Sera" from the 1997 album, Sympathique: The group has a dozen players known for almost perfect musicianship, singing in many languages - and a slightly demented sense of humor.
But Doris Day's "Que Sera Sera," as performed by Pink Martini, might make you feel downright blue. You probably know it as such a happy song.
