Jerry Lee Lewis - Sweet Dreams

Uploaded at toadpapamc own request, with a picture compilation with some rare pics. Enjoy it!

SWEET DREAMS:
"Sweet Dreams" or "Sweet Dreams (Of You)" is a country ballad, which was written by Don Gibson. Gibson originally recorded the song in 1956; however, at that time, it failed to garner much notice. In 1960, after Gibson had established himself as a country music superstar, he released a new version as a single. This version charted in the top ten on Billboard's country songs chart and also crossed over to the Billboard Hot 100, where it peaked at number ninety-three. In the summer of 1956 Faron Young young recorded "Sweet Dreams" and took it all the way to #2 on the country charts. It was this version that garnered Gibson his first recognition as a talented songwriter.

Between late 1962 and early 1963, Patsy Cline was recording songs for her next upcoming album, Faded Love, which was set for release in late March, 1963. However, on March 5, Cline died in a plane crash on the way home from a benefit in Kansas City, Missouri for the family of Cactus Jack Call, a disc jockey who was killed in an automobile accident so, therefore, the album was never released. Finally, in 1963, "Sweet Dreams" was released to the public and became a big Crossover hit, making it to #5 on the Country charts and to #44 on the pop music charts.

Jerry Lee Lewis recorded his own version in 1969.

What can you say about Jerry Lee - he'd make the devil cry. It's good to hear that Gene Vincent is also a hero of yours. He's one of mine too! I just wish he'd receive more recognition for his outstanding contribution to rock'n'roll.

If only the dude hadn't married his 13 year-old cousin. He could have taken the crown for from Elvis while he was serving in Germany. History may have been very different. Jerry Lee Lewis will always be at the top of the Country/Rock food chain. It's so nice to hear a man sing this particular song.

@jkalin196511 Thanks! I love to sing this number that you don't hear sung very often by male vocalists. Also Redneck Woman.

@WilliamOKJones Don Gibson wrote and recorded it in 1956, Faron Young recorded it in 1960. Patsy Cline recorded it in February of 1963, two months before her untimely death on March 5th. It became a big crossover hit for Patsy, making it to #5 on the Country charts and to #44 on the pop music charts. It has been recorded many times since 1963. Tammy Wynette, Loretta Lynn, Emmylou Harris, and Linda Ronstadt.

@onebaud :First thing you need to do is learn to Read English. I stated Jerry Lee was 75 (not me) and Jerry Lee still has it. I paid Jerry Lee a compliment.

@YoungAtHeart1941 Who cares how old you were when you saw Jerry Lee Lewis perform. He still does good stuff.

@JerryLeeRuLeS Jerry foi o maior de todos.Foi o maior performer que eu vi num palco. Manteve-se firme por 50 anos. Foi o melhor em todos os generos que cantou. Uma belíssima voz carregada de emoção ,marcada pelo alcool ,pelas drogas,e principalmente pelas tragédias em sua vida pessoal.E foram muitas.Ao se despedir disse:"não quero ser lembrado pelas mulheres e os carros que tive,mas pela minha música". "Eu nunca dissem que sou o maior,embora sempre soubesse disso".
