Dream

When You're Feeling Blue

June Hutton version became a major hit in 1945. Vocal group The Skylarks would revive this ballad in the 1955 Fred Astaire-Leslie Caron musical film, Daddy Long Legs. In 1970, a vocal quartet which included lead singer Sue Allen recorded it with the same arrangement as the 1945 hit version, for TimeLife. In 2008, this version was used in the teaser trailer for the 2K Games Bioshock sequel, Bioshock 2: Sea of Dreams.

"Dream" was also recorded in 1958 by Betty Johnson. This spent one week on the charts: #19 on the Billboard chart of songs most played by disc jockeys and #58 on the Billboard top 100 chart. Roy Orbison included a cover of the song on his popular and critically acclaimed 1963 album for Monument Records, In Dreams. More recently, Orbison's version was resurrected for the soundtrack to the 1998 film, You've Got Mail.

Other notable versions include a best-selling single by Frank Sinatra on Columbia Records, spending 7 weeks on the charts, peaking at #5 in 1945; a rendition from blues legend Etta James in 1961; Ringo Starr's version in 1970 album Sentimental Journey; and most recently Michael Bublé's version in 2007.
