"Oh What a Dream" is a 1954 blues song written by Chuck Willis and originally performed by Ruth Brown[2] backed by members of The Drifters (only credited as her Rhythmakers[1]). The song has been described as a torch song with a gospel tint, adding up to a big dose of that R&B balladeering as expressed in the lyrics and Brown's soulful performance:

"Dreamed I held you in my arms

But I'm still waiting for that day to come

Ohh what a dream, what a dream I had last night"[3]

The single became Brown's fourth number one on the U.S. R&B chart.[4]

Cover versions

  • Patti Page had an August 1954 single release of the song - as "What a Dream" - which reached #10 pop.
  • In 1960, Conway Twitty had a minor pop hit with his version of the song.
