The song Sentimental Journey was number one on this date — indeed, for nine weeks — in 1945, according to Bob Brobst’s site. This version of the oft-recorded song was done by Les Brown’s Band of Renown. The site doesn’t specify that this version — with Doris Day on vocals – was the hit in 1945. The notes at YouTube say that this version was recorded in late 1944, so this probably is it.
