Everly Brothers - All I have to do is dream

Video of the Everly Brothers singing the song All I have to do is dream





"All I Have to Do Is Dream" is a popular song made famous by the Everly Brothers, written by the legendary husband and wife songwriting team Felice and Boudleaux Bryant, and published in 1958. The song is ranked #141 on the Rolling Stone magazine's list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.

The Everly Brothers version

By far the best-known version was recorded by The Everly Brothers and originally appeared on the album Everly Brothers Best in 1959. The first version they recorded was laid down in just two takes, [1] on March 6, 1958. The song has also featured on several notable lists of the best songs or singles of all time, including Q's 1001 best songs ever in 2003 and Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time, where it placed 141. The record is the only one to be at #1 on all of Billboard's singles charts simultaneously, on June 2, 1958. It first reached #1 on the "Most played by Jockeys" and "Top 100" charts on May 19, 1958, and remained there for five and three weeks, respectively; with the August 1958 introduction of the Billboard Hot 100 chart, the song ended the year at #2.
The B-side, "Claudette", was the first major songwriting success for Roy Orbison, and was named for his wife. As a result of this song he terminated his contract with Sun Records and affiliated himself with the Everly's publisher, Acuff-Rose.
