This vocal style, has gone far away, because nobody can sing it anymore, and many, many have tried. It's called vocalise and, it's a lost art. The note are so tightly blended that you can't pick out a single singer's note.
Manhattan Transfer tried but they can't quite get it. It's gone, real gone.
look what bioshock and fallout done to me what amazing classic music brilliant songs i loved it i thought classic music was rubbish but this is amazing. wow 100 stars
Ha, I didn't even know this song was in Bioshock. I was just looking for Pied Pipers w/ Jo Stafford. Pretty cool to see so many people turned on to great music thanks to videogames, helps keep it alive
@BluelightSpike Fallout 2 and Bioshock are like completely different so don't try it lol. It's just that Fallout 3 has a radio station you listen to in the game that plays oldie music, as well as the opening cutscene and the trailer. I'm a fan of Fallout and Bioshock both, but just letting you know they're not alike in atmosphere or storytelling or spirit or anything.

Seriously, I don't see how anyone can thumbs this down. How is it even possible? I mean, I can't even find the dislike button with this video. Where is it? It's like it's invisible or something.
faszinierend, was für eine perfekte Qualität vor einem halben Jahrhundert produziert worden ist, und wie man mit nur drei Musikern fast einen kompletten Miller-Sound erzeugen kann. Hier wurde noch Musik von Hand gemacht. Die Pied Pipers höre ich immer wieder gern
This is almost, but not quite the tune of , "I'll be home for Christmas" by Al Kent ." I can't find where anyone has noticed this connection before. Amazing.
I think it's great that something so new and cutting edge like video games have actually turned some of us on to such classic music. It's like we've come full circle!
I think this song is great. I have a live recording taken from the Johnny Mercer Music Shop radio show recorded in 1944 and is a nice early recording of the song. The Pied Pipers were a great ensomble sadly overlooked today.
Does anyone know if Louanne Hogan is actually singing in this video -I don't think she actually recorded this song with the Pied Pipers and just wondered if this was really them singing. Ms. Hogan has a fascinating story. I'm originally from MN as she was and she was in between the ages of my Mom and uncle. Thanks for the video!
@dmag10 Hi, this is a recurring question. I compared the video with pictures of Louanne Hogan and believe it's indeed her singing. Also, there's now a link in the video description to a site with photos of all their main formations, check it out!
"Dream" was my introduction to Johnny Mercer when we sang this song in high school choir, a lifetime ago. Since then, my admiration and respect for this truly great man continued to grow as I discovered more of his songs, his recordings and learned more about his remarkable life. Thank you for posting this gentle and tasteful coda to Mr. Mercer, his life and works.
I actually saw a special on PBS called The Big Band Years hosted by Peter Marshall who went into great discussion about how this is Connie Haines. Since he was from the era and hosts Music Of Your Life I would think he's right, and that it is Connie Haines.
I saw that show too, and apparently Marshall was wrong on this. I found Hogan to be a member of The Pied Pipers in 51. I also searched for images of Hogan and Haines on Yahoo and Google. Haines is not the woman in this video Hogan is the woman in this video.
@GiacomoC Really? I can't believe the producers of that show would let it air knowing that Peter Marshall made such a huge mistake in naming the wrong singer. I know I have been under the impression that is was Connie Haines only because of Marshall's comments.
The song is still lovely, I love clips like these.
@Jesshart6 I find no indication that Haines was ever with the group which suggests to me that Marshall simply misspoke and there was no one around with enough knowledge on the subject to correct him.
@GiacomoC Wow that's odd because Connie Haines' name is listed on The Pied Pipers album covers Dream with The Pied Pipers and Dreams from the Sunny Side of the Street.
@Jesshart6 Haines sang in those albums but NOT in the song "Dreams". Haines was a member of Tommy Dorsey's Orchestra at the same time the Pied Pipers and Frank Sinatra were members. Frank Sinatra is listed on those album covers too. Sinatra was not a member of the Pied Pipers either, but he sang with them...as did Haines.
I absolutely LOVE that Bioshock and Fallout 3 turned me onto these oldie classics. They're very good amongst the crap you hear on the radio these days!
@pgeske We should all get together and have an awesome NYE party next year! A masquerade party.....at an aquarium. I will provide the 40s music. Just make sure to bring your own adam and med-x.
I just posted a video response that I hope will be approved by bettyafeia. It was my first attempt at making a multi-track recording and I sang the Pied Pipers' harmonies "by ear". This has always been one of my favorite songs...by one of my favorite groups.
Thanks bettyafeia for the encouragement. We do a pretty good job, but my brother in law who tries to do the arranging thinks it's not good enough. But since we're just homestyle singers I'll try to record us when we do.
@dwtslvr One of the tricks in the harmony is that the second voice is from time to time only a second (whole step) away from the highest voice. Most of the harmonies are major 6th chords. Each harmonic line has a nice flow to it. The Four Freshmen sing a great arrangement of this song with a different set of harmonies that you may enjoy as well.
@REZAandfriends Me too, me too. All it is today is auto tune. If you look good or are popular, You can be a singer. Ridiculous really. Back then It was about real talent. Its a shame that today any talent is washed away with lip syncing and voice edits.
Your very right about loving this BUT NOW Music has to be Dirty suggestive lyrics played so loud it shakes the walls or how about these Cars that do nothing but BOOM BOOM?,no Music,Just BOOMING,Restaurants are the same way Loud Music you can barley talk to someone in a restaurant anymore for blaring so called Music of course real Music is almost a thing of the past, all of us Oldsters will be gone then I guess they'll learn sign language after their hearing is gone?,That is if they don't starve
im gonna keep singing alive if i have to it myself, im a 15 -yearold boy and love playing music, i sing in a choir and love almost all types of music includeing this kind. I can promise you that true music wont die while im around :)
Another great work of art by the one and only hitmaker Johnny Mercer and the Pied Pipers- with or without Jo Stafford they could make you float. With or without Tex Beneke they could make you feel . Still looking for three little fishy's though LOL
I have been a pro musician for twenty five plus years and I am always impressed with what Felice got out of his wonderful little quartet and the Pipers were just better than anybody else. Too bad that music like this is ignored today. We'd play it every weekend if we could!
I still think it's Connie Haines, although I have a little more doubt now. Interestingly they both lived and died around the same exact times, both sang with the Pied Pipers, and both even looked very similar. Maybe somebody else has more info to confirm.
Hi Mr Eric, I've just done a google search for pictures of both ladies, and although they do look similar, if you concentrate on their eyes you'll see all the difference. Louanne Hogan had this very peculiar look that only confirms it's her on the video.
Sorry ( Eric ) but you are mistaken and the poster of this video is correct. The female singer is indeed Louanne Hogan. Although Connie Haines was indeed a singer of the same era, she usually performed solo and occasionally with a fellow artist, however she was not affiliated with this group.. Google will show you a photo of both--This is Louanne!!
You sent me an email asking to have my father (Ernie Felice - Accordion) confirm the players in his group. They are: Dick Anderson on Clarinet, my dad on Accordion, Rolly Bundock on Bass and Dick Fisher on Guitar. Since my dad had a record contract at this time with Capitol, his group could not appear in the same scene with the Pied Pipers because Johnny Mercer had them on another label, so the music and singing were done separately.
because rap and death metal practically raped real music and replaced it with black steroetypes and kids who think they're "pimpin" or emo. but at least ppl like bettyafeia were nice enough to save the good stuff for us=D 5/5 for this song
You hit it right that time George. What is even sadder is the fact there are the kids/punks/? whatever society is calling them nowadays, that buy and support the rap & shit they call music!!! God how I've prayed it would DIE.... Disco wasn't too bad, but it eventually died out, and the fact that rap crap has lasted longer..I'm a little concerned as to what that is saying about... Well I don't know..do you?
i agree, the rap stuff has been going for almost 20yrs plus if u count blondies attempt at it, a hoped it would die out but it seems to be going on and on, and its full of such angst.....this music is so timeless for my generation, i loved it in highschool when disco was king...
The info says that the female singer is Louanne Hogan. Glenn Miller and the Modernaires could never have performed "Dream" because the song is from 1944-45, and the Miller band broke up in 1942.
Our Mom wanted this played as her casket came out of the church. We did. It was a beautiful song to remember a beautiful lady. It made everyone smile to hear it and know our Mom could sing it! :-) Go out with a song!
Ah, no. It's Louanne Hogan. She actually got on film this time, instead of voicing over some superstar who couldn't sing. Kinda looks like Ms. Haines don't she?
I have loved this song ever since I heard it while watching the movie "Daddy long legs" as a kid. I Just thought it was beautiful and I still do. I just saw the move again and it still is a Good movie
If you like this version, listen to Sinatra's version on the Nice N' Easy CD...by the way, Johnny Mercer wrote the lyrics AND the music for this great song.
Someone told me this was also recorded by "The Modernaires" w/ Glenn Miller Orchestra. Does anyone have that? Or where can I look it up? Thanks so much for posting this. My cousins and I are trying to to the 4 part harmony.
Sure, look it up on YouTube of course! Coincidentally, I'm sitting here in my livingroom listening to PBS and rigt now there is a program on the Big Band Era. Heard Dream and was compelled to come on here to see if I could find it and lo and behold; here it is!!!
this would be a nice song to die to, im not saying i wanna die or anything.its just so peacefull.its like theres no worries in the world.i wish i lived in that time.i feel kinda left out at the fact i was born in the 90's :/
this is so beautiful. i mean, from the standpoint of someone who loves music like i do, u could see the emotions in their faces and their voices complement the instrumentation. Im in love with this song. lol.

Another great work of art by the one and only hitmaker Johnny Mercer and the Pied Pipers- with or without Jo Stafford they could make you float. With or without Tex Beneke they could make you feel . Still looking for three little fishy's though LOL

This has to be the best, even as young in the late fifties I liked older music.
I first saw this on PBS and never tought I could get it in you tube.

Awesome! Could this be the first ever Music Video?
jwsnell001 2 years ago
no. "music videos" have been around since the 20's and (as part of movies) were extremely common in the 40's.

I have been a pro musician for twenty five plus years and I am always impressed with what Felice got out of his wonderful little quartet and the Pipers were just better than anybody else. Too bad that music like this is ignored today. We'd play it every weekend if we could!

I still think it's Connie Haines, although I have a little more doubt now. Interestingly they both lived and died around the same exact times, both sang with the Pied Pipers, and both even looked very similar. Maybe somebody else has more info to confirm.
MrEricReyes 2 years ago
Hi Mr Eric, I've just done a google search for pictures of both ladies, and although they do look similar, if you concentrate on their eyes you'll see all the difference. Louanne Hogan had this very peculiar look that only confirms it's her on the video.

Thanks for posting this great video, about Louanne vs Connie I kinda believe you sort of, like 50 percent! I'll try the eyes thing.

Just fantastic. have to set the record straight though, the female singer 2nd from the left is actually Connie Haines.
MrEricReyes 2 years ago
Sorry ( Eric ) but you are mistaken and the poster of this video is correct. The female singer is indeed Louanne Hogan. Although Connie Haines was indeed a singer of the same era, she usually performed solo and occasionally with a fellow artist, however she was not affiliated with this group.. Google will show you a photo of both--This is Louanne!!

Do you know the name of the clarinet player?
Leebm29 2 years ago
I believe the clarinetist is Dick Anderson, but I'm not sure. Dick played the clarinet in a 1949 recording of the quartet.
bettyafeia 2 years ago
Betty,
You sent me an email asking to have my father (Ernie Felice - Accordion) confirm the players in his group. They are: Dick Anderson on Clarinet, my dad on Accordion, Rolly Bundock on Bass and Dick Fisher on Guitar. Since my dad had a record contract at this time with Capitol, his group could not appear in the same scene with the Pied Pipers because Johnny Mercer had them on another label, so the music and singing were done separately.

brainwasher9876 2 years ago 3
because rap and death metal practically raped real music and replaced it with black steroetypes and kids who think they're "pimpin" or emo. but at least ppl like bettyafeia were nice enough to save the good stuff for us=D 5/5 for this song
george77772moons 2 years ago
You hit it right that time George. What is even sadder is the fact there are the kids/punks/? whatever society is calling them nowadays, that buy and support the rap & shit they call music!!! God how I've prayed it would DIE.... Disco wasn't too bad, but it eventually died out, and the fact that rap crap has lasted longer..I'm a little concerned as to what that is saying about... Well I don't know..do you?
rturnerful 2 years ago 2
i agree, the rap stuff has been going for almost 20yrs plus if u count blondies attempt at it, a hoped it would die out but it seems to be going on and on, and its full of such angst.....this music is so timeless for my generation, i loved it in highschool when disco was king...

The info says that the female singer is Louanne Hogan. Glenn Miller and the Modernaires could never have performed "Dream" because the song is from 1944-45, and the Miller band broke up in 1942.

Our Mom wanted this played as her casket came out of the church. We did. It was a beautiful song to remember a beautiful lady. It made everyone smile to hear it and know our Mom could sing it! :-) Go out with a song!

Am I wrong or is that Connie Haines sitting in for Jo Stafford here? I think she fits in better than Jo's eventualy replacements don't you?

Ah, no. It's Louanne Hogan. She actually got on film this time, instead of voicing over some superstar who couldn't sing. Kinda looks like Ms. Haines don't she?

I have loved this song ever since I heard it while watching the movie "Daddy long legs" as a kid. I Just thought it was beautiful and I still do. I just saw the move again and it still is a Good movie

If you like this version, listen to Sinatra's version on the Nice N' Easy CD...by the way, Johnny Mercer wrote the lyrics AND the music for this great song.

Someone told me this was also recorded by "The Modernaires" w/ Glenn Miller Orchestra. Does anyone have that? Or where can I look it up? Thanks so much for posting this. My cousins and I are trying to to the 4 part harmony.

Sure, look it up on YouTube of course! Coincidentally, I'm sitting here in my livingroom listening to PBS and rigt now there is a program on the Big Band Era. Heard Dream and was compelled to come on here to see if I could find it and lo and behold; here it is!!!
afton1955 2 years ago 3
Me too.
That was a great special. I never knew how much of that music we hear in everyday life, and don't even think about it.
Hell, I probably know about half a dozen Glenn Miller songs, and had never even heard of him before this.
