Today’s Song of the Day is “Dream a Little Dream of Me” by Dean Martin. I chose it because I just had my second child a few days ago and this will be his lullaby. When my daughter was born, 5 years ago, I sang “Close to You” by The Carpenters to her. I started to think about what I wanted sing to him a few months ago and landed on this classic.
“Dream a Little Dream of Me” was originally recorded in 1931 and since then over 60 other versions have been recorded, with the most popular from The Mamas & the Papas. I wanted to spotlight the Dean Martin recording because his voice is like velvet and the orchestration of the song is very pretty. So, in short, I would like to dedicate this song of the day to the newest member of my family, Cassius, I hope you like your lullaby.
Miss Ange, best wishes on the birth of your second child and such a heart-warmin’ post ’bout the lullaby that have chosen for Cassius. Thanks for honorin’ our Dino in this way….never was, never will be anyone as cool as the King of Cool….oh, to return to the days when Dino walked the earth. Know that your reflections are bein’ shared this day with all the pallies gathered ’round ilovedinomartin.
