NELSON & ORCHESTRA – DREAM A LITTLE DREAM OF ME

GENRE: JAZZ

Oswald George Nelson(March 20, 1906 – June 3, 1975) was an American band
leader, actor, director, and producer. He originated and starred in The
Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet, a radio and television series with his wife Harriet
and two sons David and Ricky Nelson.
Nelson started his
entertainment career as a band leader. He formed and led "The Ozzie Nelson Band," and
had some initial limited success. Nelson made his own "big break" in
1930, when The New York Daily Mirror ran a poll of its readers to determine
their favorite band. Since he knew that news vendors got credit
from the newspaper for unsold copies by returning the front page and discarding
the rest of the issue, he cannily had his band's members gather hundreds of
discarded newspapers and fill out ballots in their own favor. They edged out
Paul Whiteman and were pronounced the winners.
Gus Kahn lived in
Chicago. He began writing songs professionally at 23. His first song-writing
partner was his wife, pianist and composer Grace Laboy. Soon he was writing lyrics to music by some of
the biggest names in the business, Walter Donaldson, George Gershwin, Isham
Jones, and Naceo Herb Brown.
"Johnny Mercer, who
was one of the really other great lyric writers, used to call my father the
tune hog," Gus Kahn's son, composer Donald Kahn remembers, "because
my dad wrote with everybody and 'Dream a Little Dream' is a sterling example of
it. My dad would get tunes from people and my mother would play the tunes for
him and he would sit and grumble mostly.
"He always tried to
keep his lyrics simple," the younger Kahn explains, "but he also said
that young men and women do not know how to say 'I love you' to one another so
we say it for them in 32 bars. "
There's considerable confusion as to when and where Fabian Andre and
Wilber Schwandt wrote the music for "Dream a Little Dream of Me".
They played together in a band that toured the Midwest in 1930. Schwandt
once recalled that they wrote the piece during a 10-minute break at a gig in
Paw Paw, Michigan. Later he said they wrote it in Milwaukee. Wherever the music
was written, Donald Kahn credits the melody and, in particular, its bridge, for
making the song work.
"Dream a Little Dream of Me" is a 1931 song with music by Fabian
Andre and Wilbur Schwandt and lyrics by Gus Kahn. It was first recorded in
February 1931 by Ozzie Nelson and also by Wayne King and His Orchestra, with
vocal by Ernie Birchill. A popular standard, it has seen more than 60 other
versions recorded, with one of the highest chart ratings by the Mamas & the
Papas in 1968 with Cass Elliot on lead vocals.
Doris Day(born Doris Mary Ann Kappelhoff; April 3, 1922) is an American
actress, singer, and animal welfare activist. After she began her career as a
big band singer in 1939, her popularity increased with her first hit recording
"Sentimental Journey" (1945). After leaving Les Brown & His Band
of Renown to embark on a solo career, she recorded more than 650 songs from
1947 to 1967, which made her one of the most popular and acclaimed singers of
the 20th century.
Day's film career began during the latter part of the Classical
Hollywood Film era with the 1948 film Romance on the High Seas, and its success
sparked her twenty-year career as a motion picture actress. She
starred in a series of successful films, including musicals, comedies, and
dramas. She played the title
role in Calamity Jane(1953), and starred in Alfred Hitchcock's The Man Who Knew
Too Much(1956) with James Stewart. Her most successful films were the bedroom
comedies she made co-starring Rock Hudson and James Garner, such as Pillow Talk(1959)
and Move Over, Darling(1963), respectively. She also co-starred in films with
such leading men as Clark Gable, Cary Grant, David Niven, and Rod Taylor. After
her final film in 1968, she went on to star in the CBS sitcom The Doris Day
Show(1968–1973).
Day by Night was a Doris Day album released on November 11, 1957 by Columbia
Records, It was released in two versions, catalog number CL-1053 (Mono) and
CS-8089 (Stereo), though the stereo version was only released in 1959. It was a
follow-up to her extremely successful album, Day by Day, released the previous
year.
The album was combined with Day's 1956 album, Day by Day, on a compact
disc, issued on November 14, 2000 by Collectables Records.
Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper "I love you"
Birds singing in the sycamore tree
Dream a little dream of me
Say "Night-ie night" and kiss me
Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me
While I'm alone and blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me
Stars fading but I linger on, dear
Still craving your kiss
I'm longing to linger till dawn, dear
Just saying this
Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me.

C'mon
I wanna fly
Makes everything alright
Way up in the sky (Yea, yea)
Got to feel alive (hey)
Show me the place I wanna see
I'm gonna make my dreams reality
Oh take some time I don't care what they say
Go reach for the start and take it on way
Can't hold me back it's just a waste of time
Into the clouds I'm gonna climb
I wanna fly
Makes everything alright
Way up in the sky (Yea, yea)
Got to feel alive (hey)
I feel the magic when I fly I'm free
A sweet sensation just believe, believe, yeah
And when the sun is burnin' on my back
It lived always and where (?)
Can't stop me now it's just a waste of time
Into the clouds I'm gonna climb
I wanna fly
Makes everything alright
Way up in the sky (Yea, yea)
Got to feel alive (hey)
I wanna fly
Come on and fly
Makes everything alright
Way up in the sky (Yea, yea)
Got to feel alive (hey)
I wanna fly!

Catch ya on the fly
And you leave 'em high and dry
But I'm up on your game baby
And your two-bit alibi
But you just wont quit
And you don't even wanna try
Your living out of your suitcase
And the rat-race will run you dry
You're just a three dollar bill
You're just a three dollar bill
Telling your traveling salesman jokes
Like a politician kissing babies hustlin votes
Baby, your just a three dollar bill
Ya weep for the young girls
You love em and you leave 'em
Your favorite hobby is seduce em and leave em
But one day you'll get caught
Messing up in the wrong room and
You'll be doing a shotgun wedding as a twelve gauge
