Dream - The Pied Pipers & Ernie Felice Quartet

The Pied Pipers in their 1951 formation (left to right: Chuck Lowry, Louanne Hogan, Clark Yocum and Hal Hopper) in a musical short (known back then as Studio Telescriptions) filmed in 1951 by Louis D. Snader.

They were accompanied by the Ernie Felice Quartet: Ernie Felice (Accordion), Dick Anderson (Clarinet), Rolly Bundock (Bass), Dick Fisher (Guitar). Watch more rare Ernie Felice videos in his son's Youtube channel:

Words and music by Johnny Mercer.

Dream, when you're feelin' blue
Dream, that's the thing to do
Dream, while the smoke rings rise in the air
You'll find your share of memories there
So dream, when the day is through
Dream, and they might come true
Things never are as bad as they seem
So dream, dream, dream!

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!

@dmag10 PBS has a bit about the Big Band Era - and they showed this piece. They said that the singer in the video and the recording is Connie Haines.

Sang baritone in a quarted in the ninety's and this was one of our favorite arrangements. Great tune, harmonies, and message. Wonderful to hear it again. Thanks

It's good to see that folks are still viewing this video after three years. I first saw it two years go and still go back to it every now and then. Just goes to show that people still like good close harmony.
