Que Sera Sera was written by Jay Livingston and Ray Evans in 1955 and sung by Doris Day in the 1956 Alfred Hitchcock film, “The Man Who Knew Too Much.” In 1956, it won an Oscar for Best Original Song, and the Doris Day recording reached #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

On a personal note, it was my mother’s favorite song and the only song I ever remember her singing. She died in 1959 at the age of 32 when a car she was riding in was hit by a train. I was seven at the time, and I remember being asked by whoever was planning the funeral if she had a favorite song she’d like to have sung at her funeral, and I said Que Sera Sera. I’m sure they were looking for an appropriate hymn, but the more I’ve thought about it, the more I feel it would have been a pretty good choice. What will be, will be.
