This song was written in 1931 by Fabian Andre and Wilbur Schwandt with lyrics by Gus Kahn.
It’s now one of the most popular songs from the Great American Songbook and it’s also recorded in many versions.
Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong and Nat King Cole are among the most famous ones that have recorded it.
In later years singers like Michael Bublè, Diana Krall land Robin Williams have all recorded “Dream a Little Dream of Me”.
This arrangement is inspired by the version by American band Chicago from their 1995 album release “Night & Day”.
