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.
