"With My Eyes Wide Open, I'm Dreaming" is a popular song. ==Background== It was written by Harry Revel (musicwriter) and Mack Gordon (lyricist), and published in 1934. The song was introduced by Jack Oakie and Dorothy Dell in the movie ''Shoot the Works.'' The first versions to make the charts were in 1934 when Leo Reisman's version reached #3 and Isham Jones's version reached #11. That same year the song was recorded by Ruth Etting. Patti Page had a #11 hit with "With My Eyes Wide Open, I'm Dreaming" (Mercury Records #5344)〔(Mercury Records in the 5000 to 5497 series )〕 in 1950. Having previously recorded both vocal parts on the duet "Confess", Page had been intrigued by the possibility of using overdubbing techniques to record as a "one-woman quartet"; when Mercury a&r director Mitch Miller received Page's suggestion skeptically the singer prepped a demo showcasing her multi-tracked vocals which drew Millers' consent to have Page record "With My Eyes Wide Open..." in this manner. Recorded in a 3 December 1949 session in New York City with Jack Rael conducting his orchestra, "With My Eyes Wide Open..." became Page's first million-seller and established her trademark vocal sound. Page re-recorded "With My Eyes Wide Open..." - with what was considered a "rock and roll" arrangement - in an 11 May 1959 session in New York City: this version reached #59.〔 〕 "With My Eyes Wide Open, I'm Dreaming" was also sung by Dean Martin in the 1952 ''The Stooge.'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「With My Eyes Wide Open, I'm Dreaming」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
