"Dream Lover" is a song written and recorded by Bobby Darin on March 5, 1959. Darin decided to stretch out some chord changes he found on the piano, and add strings and voices. It was produced by Ahmet Ertegun and Jerry Wexler and engineered by Tom Dowd. The song became a multi-million seller, reaching #2 in US charts for a week and #4 on the R&B charts. "Dream Lover" was kept from the number one spot by "The Battle of New Orleans" by Johnny Horton and went to #1 in UK for four weeks during June and July 1959 respectively.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dream Lover by Bobby Darin )〕 It was released as a single on Atco Records in 1959. In addition to Darin's vocal, the song features Neil Sedaka on piano.〔Interview by Russell A.
