Doris is best known for her lone solo album, eclectic pop, rock and funk Did You Give the World Some Love Today Baby recorded in 1970.
Her singing career began in 1960 by recording an album with the Swedish band The Strangers. She went on recording with Plums, including the tracks “You Made a Fool of Me Last Night” and “Wouldn’t That Be Groovy”, and The Dandys, including “Go Back to Daddy”.
In April 1970, Doris went to record in the EMI studios of Stockholm. Most of the lyrics of the songs were by Scottish writer Francis Cowan. The material was composed by TV producer, jazz-pianist, and composer Berndt Egerbladh. He also provided the big band brass arrangements for the tracks.The heavy drumming on the trackswas performed by Janne Carlsson from the duo Hansson & Karlsson, and the bass was played by Doris’s husband Lukas Lindholm. The album Did You Give the World Some Love Today Baby was issued by Odeon in Sweden, 1970.
The promotional singles distributed in U.K. and France in 1970 attracted little attention among the audiences. The Montreal Mirror newsweekly reviewed it as:”A relic of epic Swedish pop from ’70. Perfectly hilarious and hilariously perfect.” The Sunday Times reviewed the song’s instrumental and vocal style as:”…Hendrix backing Björk.” The Blaxploitation.com database listed Did You Give the World Some Love Today Baby among the Forty Essential Funk Albums of the music history.
“You Never Come Closer” was sampled on “Closer” by influential hip-hop producer Madlib for Quasimoto.
