Day's iconic role as Calamity Jane in the 1953 movie of the same name earned her a cult following of fans, Schneider included.

The song The Black Hills of Dakota from that film that helped Schneider, one of Australia's top country music exports, learn how to do three-part harmonies.

As with Day's many other admirers, Schneider was deeply saddened by Day's death, at age 97, in May.

"Doris was multi-talented, a true triple threat: a world-class singer, dancer and actor," Schneider said.

"But it is her beautiful spirit that will stay with me. Doris was so likeable and exuded such sincerity and joy and all that is good."

Schneider will say her own musical goodbye to Day with A Farewell to Doris, which will show at Soldiers Point Bowling Club on Sunday, November 3.

The concert sees the singer backed by a 20-piece orchestra as she performs some of Day's most memorable tunes such as Secret Love, Everybody Loves a Lover, Sentimental Journey, Pillow Talk, and, of course, Que Sera, Sera (Whatever Will Be, Will Be).

"We're really celebrating her incredible life," says Schneider. "I'm just hoping that everyone who is there sings along with me.

"There will only ever be one Doris Day. It's me singing her songs in my own voice, but very respectfully sticking to the original arrangements because they got them right the first time.

"We don't need to mess with them."

Tickets to see A Farewell to Doris are on sale now from the club for $39.

Doors open 12.30pm for a 1pm start.
