"Dream" sometimes referred to as "Dream (When You're Feeling Blue)" is a jazz and pop standard with words and music by Johnny Mercer in 1944 and performed by many artists. The most popular versions of the songs include those by The Pied Pipers, Frank Sinatra, and Roy Orbison.
For Capitol Records, The Pied Pipers, with lead singer June Hutton, made a version of "Dream" (catalog number 185, with the flip side "Tabby the Cat" which became a major hit in 1945. Vocal group The Skylarks (singing with Ray Anthony's orchestra) 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 (who sang with The Pied Pipers in the 1950s), recorded it with the same arrangement as the 1945 hit version, for TimeLife. On October 22, 2008, this version was used in the teaser trailer for the 2K Games Bioshock sequel, BioShock 2: Sea of Dreams.
"Dream" was also recorded (on April 14, 1958) by Betty Johnson (issued by Atlantic Records, with the flip side "How Much")in a version that 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.
