Johnny Burnette - Dreamin`

[MrCountrynut]

Those were the days,as someone quite rightly said these great 60s songs are still being played`,the proof of the pudding is still in the eating` 50 years later and they will never ever stop being played. What happened to the spice girls I ask?.

[endthedrugwarvision]

This is real rock and roll.

[4BarCat1]

I went into my teens and out of my teens in the 60's. A very crazy decade and I wish I could do it all again. I really didn't know how good I had it back then. Everything was so simply back

then.

[MsArrow313]

whut a great song. may he RIP

[karateslaginnek]

Everyone played very good on this song!!!!!!!Super!!!!

[stanstedeye]

Gone but not forgotten, a great song Johnny.

[MysticMoon1988]

yea well, KEEP ON DREAMIN.. :')

[bikerkieth]

i was about 5 yrs old when these were in the charts i was the only in infants school with winkle pickers and a quiff great times

[MsAndre1963]

je crois que son nom était Brunnette, mais pour les États Unis c est peut etre difficile a prononcer, donc c était un franco américain.

mais peut importe c étais de la belle chansons ca!

[Mr1bigmick]

Love this record. Saw Johnny at Walthamstow Granada on his UK tour.

[MsFleur68]

I love this....there is another version by John Schneider...........

[blencathra11]

...my parents worked themselves to early deaths....this was my favourite song growing up so they always called me dreamer....free school dinners and handout clothes from the cottage homes....sometimes I was hungry...but I never stopped dreamin....retired now and after 13000 people working for me I cruise the world..never stop dreamin...and always remember and cherish where you came from and who made your life

[lennon2you]

BOUGHT THIS 45 BACK IN THE SIXTIES , LOVED IT GREAT MEMORIES , THANKS FOR POSTING

[dimetrisnicolaides]

good song but the rockabilly johhny burnett was much better

[chauffeurme]

So good!

[blencathra11]

...and isn't dreamin what life is all about....bless johnny tillotson

[no1shrimper]

rip johnny

[BennOliverr]

Wayne, from the Wonder years?

[barbietwinss]

ok i was born in 1992 and for some reason my twin n i grew to love old fashion movies and songs u have no clue

[StephanieePaige]

I was definatley born in the wrong era.

[zzombiieaterrr]

@StephanieePaige You and I both.

[09bnunez]

his biggest hit before he died,, could of been one of the best rockers of the 60s era

[GANNAMEDE]

We wish we could share the magic of those times with our young, sadly we cannot. We look back on the seasons of promise, our children will look back on the hate filled rap and dark social propaganda of today. How very sad.

[joddy2802]

@GANNAMEDE

Sadly so true!

[KyplayaZ4lyfe]

@GANNAMEDE ha actually you can. all i listen to is 60s,70s and 80s :D my parents got me into it and I've never looked back. I listen to songs with emotions and all of todays music lacks that!

[spraymalathionjerry]

@GANNAMEDE Well said!

[TheCurbinatorCash]

@GANNAMEDE Well best we can do is keep these songs playing. I'm a 1976 child but my Dad and Grandpa used to listen to these songs. As long as I can still buy them, I'll continue to play them.

I've always noticed that the majority of advertizments still play song like this.

[rohansrider]

Magic song, another one gone too young.

[MrRodnas1]

yesssssssssssssss i agree,,,johnnie was a good singer and very good song writer, partnership with his brother,,,,, this really was the R n R era,,, for years we played this song in my band,,,and if i may say we still play this song to this day,,,also diana,,oh carol and countless other great songs and people love it you can see them from the stage,singing along,,,,,,,RIP johnnie we still love you,and your music

[MrGotsquashed]

One of these days, I'll be cruisin' into a car show in an all original 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air with a hot BIG girl by my side. I'll just keep on "Dreamin'-- 'till my dreamin' comes TRUE"!!

[ShannonDWaltrip]

Ooohhhhh, he was a cutie.

[bibikhan100]

yep, i am 66 ad all i want to do is sit and listen to oldies, i go right back to what i was doing at every song i hear, there are some stories to all these songs and i just adore them and' thank u' for making it possible to click a button and hey presto, like i said... better than having to actually put the record on...do let me enjoy while i can still press a button. i love you all... bibi x x x x

[overbrookXXX]

@bibikhan100 You took the words right out of my mouth.  Im 64 and yes! its like presto, also the ones you can barely remember. Best wishes to you.

[martin5067]

que tiempos aquellos ..no soy de esa e`poca ..pero lo se por parte de mi padre que todavia coleciona .......................cresi escuchando este tipo de musicas que ahora es todo un clasico ....buen oido para los que saben ..............

[buggeringon]

he was huge in the early sixties and its great to hear his music here as in the mainstream he seems forgotten

[carolinesoswt]

beautiful song

[Karatiannadiante]

great stuff, thank you!!!

[plymot]

Back seat of my buddys 58 fury a 6er and Carol, OH CAROL !!!

[Karatiannadiante]

@plymot OMG, I almost forgot about Neil Sedaka until this message, thanks!!

[MysticMoon1988]

Yeah! keep on dreamin (-_-" )

[jennicallison]

My dad Ej absoulty loves this song!

[blencathra11]

....absolute class....

[MrOwlhollow]

Brings back good memories

[thecaproni100]

Knockout..!

[benitojauregi]

I'm sorry, but after the Rock and roll Trio, this stuff sounds like a joke... Good for him, he made it, become famous and else but sounds like Pat Boone. This stuff is quite far from rock and roll

[Nawtqt]

Dreamin' by Johnny Burnette sure brings back memories.... What an era!

[TwinCityKillaz]

He looks like Kevin's brother Wayne from The Wonder Years T.V. show in this album cover

[DarkNaomi]

I just discovered this song a few minutes ago from one of my friends on Youtube, where has this song been all my life?!?! I now love this song :))) <3

[besamemucho5]

@DarkNaomi well...you have to tell us how old you are and then we can understand how come you didn't know about this song....see if you were 20 years old then it would be ok...but if you were 60 and up, then it would be very hard to understand why you didn't know about the existence of this song...

[DarkNaomi]

@besamemucho5 Oh sorry lol I'm 22. :P

[09bnunez]

his biggest hit .....he died too young great rocker from the 50s...rip jb

[bluerok1]

he deserved much more.

[Ianesteban10]

Thanks a million for uploading!!! R.I.P Johnny!

[pfoley6]

Everyone of his recordings was good; love this one.

[cristabele1959]

wonderful wonderful early sixties sound!

[omarskats3000]

he was a genius. there's nothing more i can say! too short a life...

[amalfi348]

Just a girl when I got this song, but still have the 45 rpm, and still have the memories of a wonderful tune, sung by a wonderful guy, in a the wonderful world of the sixties!

[robertquentincobb]

GREAT Song. Great Voice. ...You the Man. Keep on singing up there...

[CountrynIrish]

Wonderful Song ! Love it ! An all time favourite ! What a singer ! Thank you so much for uploading ! 5*****+

[geoffrey22101942]

My this takes me back.

[ultraroadmap]

Is that Conrad Birdie??

[muzzi48]

this is what music  should still sound like today

[LegionsofLoneliness]

Nice vid,thanks for posting. Johnny Burnette and the Rock and Roll Trio, very rare Rockabilly album. More rare than Elvis Sun records. I hope he is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, he deserves it.

[fran9860]

Did you know that Johnny Burnette was the father of Rocky Burnette; who had the hit "Tired of Towing the Line" back in the 80's?

[kassullaonasiaa]

@fran9860 i knowed that, but did you know that johnnys brothers (Dorsey Burnette) sons name is billy, so together their sons names form word " rock-a-billy"

[brownindian17]

This song is so good!

[gfks11]

That's too cool.. like YOU'RE SIXTEEN"... great sound!!

[missmanju123]

too young to leave us. what a wonderful voice.

[gaalylen05]

thanks for posting this on youtube

[missusestlady]

great music

[vonniegirl11]

Such a beautiful voice to die so very young!

[6615tom1]

beautiful song by a man that had a gorgeous voice died way too early

[Scrabbler27]

I LOVE this song!

[zaaritha]

This is an oldie --good!

[Beachcrib]

Johnny sure changed his sound .. Each his own.

[IAmInconspicuous]

beautiful! Thanks so much for putting this on!

[teehonky]

What is the Mexican Dream?

a Freedom from tyranny

b Making enough money for his family to come over fom Mexico

c Finding an average looking (ugly) white woman to marry and get a GREEN CARD

[mlogicc]

Dreamin' of Mary

[wolfmantip]

One of THE Greatest Song's Ever Recorded. Thanks for the post.

[skatepunkzero]

this is ok, his Rock N Roll trio was better

[webaroos]

@skatepunkzero - Come on! This was released in the early 60's and became a ballad, nobody did it better than Johnny Burnett, no-one.

[skatepunkzero]

@webaroos I know Johnny Burnett did it the best, but before this in the 50s he was in the Rock n Roll trio and played Rockabilly. Like Train Kept a rollin

His rockabilly sound was better

[BLACKSHACK16]

ANOTHER ROCK,N ROLL LEGEND WHO DIED TO YOUNG.

[1989ProblemChild]

who's the 2 butt brains that didn't like this song?

[spacepatrolman]

@1989ProblemChild Barry devorzon wrote this ,rocky burnette had a problem mike curb was a record biz exec and the lt. govenor of california and he wouldnt let rocky record or out of his contract so he stood in front of his office with a sign saying mike curb is a crook and he let him out of his contract

[algywatt]

Last week I bought a compilation CD of oldies which included Johnny singing "Dreamin'"...what a surprise I got when I heard it...they'd put on the actual studio out-takes as well;you can hear the producer(either Snuff Garrett or Ernie Freeman) asking the drummer to "keep it down"...that drummer was Jerry Allison of The Crickets

[4712star]

Thanks for the nice cover sleeves!

Johnny will never be forgotten!

[BobbyDelRiv]

GREAT GREAT GREAT! Rock And Roll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pattarasila59]

One of my faves. Wonderful song. Thanks for this brilliant share my friend.

[brownindian17]

One of the best songs of the 50,s

[Babillonia]

Simple but beautiful tune. Bless you Johnny.

[sparwood8]

What totally bums me out is that so many great singers of the 55-1970 era died SO YOUNG

[Twinkle3067]

@sparwood8  so bloody true !!!

[TheTeemaster]

After dark on August 14, 1964, Johnny’s fishing boat was struck by an unaware cabin cruiser on Clearlake, California. The impact threw him off the boat and he drowned. "Johhny Burnette death site"

[webaroos]

This appealed to me as a 16yo, 50 years ago, sweeter words are yet to be written and with great violins filling the background it doesn't get any better.

[1912cunard]

He had a great voice. My mother loved to dance to this. Such a tragedy, untimely death at no age. I think he would be touched to know people almost 50 years later are still listening to him. A great summer song.

[jlbsr1959]

awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[skrimpshidy]

A boating accident? Please tell me this dude didn't run his cris craft into a rock like on golden pond!

[rvictor64]

This is one of his 3 major hits. Your Sixteen and Big Big World were in Billboards Top 100. Before he was a singer, Johnny was a successful amatuer Boxer but loved singing Rockabilly type songs with his brother Dorsey Burnette who also made the music Charts. Johnny drowned in a boating accident in 1964 and he is another one of the entertainers who met an untimely death. RIP. Ron

[tangyrtm]

How do I find mp3iffy to download this song? I was told to google mp3iffy.

[beatlejim64]

A CLASSIC from 1960...

[brucer12]

What a loss to a big contributor of R&R---loved his music.

[dougallsdiscs]

The world lost a Rock & Roll Vocalist supreme in Johnny,but we still have his lagacy in music....Murray in Scotland

[coyotesong]

One of the first songs in the sound track of my adolescence. We met at camp when I was 14 and she was 12 with beautiful blue eyes and blond hair. We kissed on the cheek by a huge pine tree before we left camp to go back home. Pure innocence. I sure did a lot of dreamin that summer.

[3windowcoupe]

Brings back memories of doing geometry homework late at night back in 1960 while listening to KOMA...(my dad in the background yelling at me to TURN IT DOWN!)

[Lyontell]

Wonderful song by an incredibly talented man.

Thank you for posting this classic song!

[Lyontell]

Wonderful song by an incredibly talented man.

Thank you for posting this classic song!

[MsJune54]

fantastic pop song, always LOVED it!!! thanks so much for posting it!!

[HighwayJoe]

Gonna be honest, I first heard this song on a Disney video [the DTV series released in the 80s]. Became a classic in my house [and quite a few of us still think of Disney's 'Sleeping Beauty' when we hear this].

Thanks for posting!

[akytilop]

Thanks for posting. The first time I heard this song we were driving through Lebanon, Pennsylvania. I tuned in a local radio station on the way home to Central PA. I bought the record and played it over and over. Brings back great memories. I agree the violins make this a classic. Was this recorded by Libery records? Many of their songs have violin backups.

[Ellymae09]

This is great--thanks

[patou341]

lovely song,thanks

[Swan1947]

Love this song from the 1960's!!!

[bobbyfozz]

Always beautiful and full of great memories.

[ElvisPresley577]

man, i'm 14 and i love this music! the music today sucks! its only about money, drugs, guns... nothing positive!! but this music oh! damn! it makes me feel the love to never give up in anything i do! i love this music <3333

[xABitTooGorgeousx]

Agreed!

[luvhurtsxoxo]

I have always liked this song. The violins in this song make it a classic. Takes me back to a innocent time, when singers could really sing.

[amalfi348]

The optimism of youth... just dream, and it will come true!

[airdancr1]

I remember listening to this on an oldies cd I used to have until my folks got sick of it. How they got sick of it, I'll never know.

[keikonair]

tells dreamin ...comes true ;)

[nickysixscbdvr]

one of my favorites of all times of the R`n R Era,

[alwaysyours081209]

I am dreaming too ! Wow what a beautiful Song. I love it !!!! Thank you so much for posting

it.

[webaroos]

Thanks YT, another bit of memory restored from the 60's, so many great songs and great times.

[luvhurtsxoxo]

They do not write/record music like this any more. Love it. I did not know he was gone...love this song

[corbaseball12]

Good song. It's amazing that this song has 14 violins playing all in synch

[veefriends]

actually it was 12 violins and three violas as per the union contract.

[juan58102]

@veefriends Thanks for the info.. very much!

[davidGTI]

5 stars love itttt i have not listened this song since child

[skilski2003]

Oh my gosh, my first hubby used to sing this to me when I was 17. I found out last year that he died in 2004. He was a physically abusive man. Strange, I remember the good times. We were only married a year and a half. I suppose he had his own demons inside. At 17 I was going to live forever and maybe he was just "Dreamin'.

[spacepatrolman]

There is no excuse for physical abuse ,but you dont have to live in the shadow of the past [ that was a song by bobby helms dreamin was written by barry devorzon ] ..

[xxladyfairxx]

beautiful song

[dperez1963]

R.I.P Johnny,I still have your beautiful voice and songs to allways keep in my heart.

[brownies4you]

When I was in high school I had a crush on Johnny Burnette. I thought his hair was just soooooo "boss".

Our town has a barber named Ron who looks very much like Johnny. It's creepy how they both have blue eyes and a head full of thick, wavy hair.

[ctguy1952]

Beautiful Johnny!!

R.I.P.

[nomiclas]

some of his best stuff was with the "Trio" and dorrsey wasn't too bad with tall oak tree either!

[da83rio]

beautiful song,it's true

[ThenItsLove]

i believe this is my most favorite ...this is for you Amer my love

[guyglowmore1]

used to have this record. no more. now i play/sing it with guitar and that''s even more fun. we're dreaming the future at flaming heart and i'm gonna play some songs with the dream theme. should be something good. dream on. thanks for posting this fine old song.

[dan1on]

[spokar1]
