I would give a limb for a chance to ask this lady for a dance! OUTSTANDING voice.💓❤❤ The sort of voice you hear ONCE in a lifetime... " You dancing Jacqui?" "You askin'?"
Have always loved this song. Was watching "The Devil Wears Prada" this evening, for probably the gazillionth time, and was SO thrilled to hear this amazing version during the bistro in Paris scene! I then couldn't stop singing this gem of a song...driving my husband crazy!
She has that wonderful 'full' voice which completely fills the void musical instruments don't. She is also beautiful. Unfortunately, the song is kind of ruined when they decided to have that big mouth at 2:46 garble his garbage.
I wonder what version much more, got a beautiful story, the voice, the movie, the guy and the girl, the classical style- all in the line and all is perfect! Thanks a lot
O! yes, i almost forgot as a young kid i used to sit in the back seats of the Durban drive-in sometimes alone and sometimes with my younger sissys. Little did we know one day i would as a scholar ,soon be selling tickets at the entrance gates of the Durban drive-in .Afterwards , i would crawl back into those same old rubbery seats and dream on whilst the movies rolled on and on. This time ,the only difference was i was a few years older .But now i could buy all the hamburgers ,hot dogs ,ice cream and chocs of my insatiable desire which re-fuelled and re-fired up a restless and young naive and tired mind to re-engage entering into the last forbidden dream hidden deeply in the world of fantasia and dreams whilst seated and glued to the big screen in the back rickety old seats of the drive -in .Thats where the magic came alive ! ... where i watched countless flics,scopes ,movies,films ,bioscopes - call them what you may they were all mine and some i loved so much i turned them into magnificent sweet-dreams ... that removed the bitter from bittersweet in every day life . I almost forgot too - you see i was still dreaming , i had to end the dreams with a long walk home afterwards .But the dreams were influencing enough to give me sufficient enduring energy to walk on home about 10 kms away -but too often rather dangerously late ,indeed long after midnight ... xxx

Stars shining bright above you Night breezes seem to whisper "I love you" Birds singing in the sycamore trees Dream a little dream of me Say nighty-night and kiss me Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me While I'm alone and blue as can be Dream a little dream of me Stars fading but I linger on dear Still craving your kiss I'm longing to linger till dawn dear Just saying this Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you But in your dreams whatever they be Dream a little dream of me Stars fading but I linger on dear Still craving your kiss I'm longing to linger till dawn dear Just saying this Sweet dreams, till sunbeams find you Gotta keep dreaming leave all worries behind you But in your dreams whatever they be You gotta make me a promise, promise to me You'll dream, dream a little of me... PS! i wondered why this song still haunts me esp in this particular clip ,i found myself also part of the clip and part of the audience too .Acting and singing .But also as a ghost like character sitting in those old dodgy and smoky bioscopes on my own with a coke and popcorn. What a treat ! Only today it came to me ,back like a flash of lightning . For so many years i would watch these old movies alone, where as a dreamer my dreams fulfilled and soothed me ,which multiplied into countless more dreams inspired and imagined by love and song ... which captivated and arrested my muse and soul . But when the dream / s and the movies quit, it was back to reality and suddenly being alone again and without love reality sobers one up oft with a headache. Ever felt that feeling of crashing to the floor- back to hard reality ? In which begs the questions, do dreams really come true for all ,or only a few ? Or do we build ,imagine and construct our own dreams to fill the gaps in our lives and the missing super hero roles we never got to be ? Radical and farfetched dreams can also often be too big for the ordinary mind .And oft surreal for this plain world , knowing our eternal soul inside cries out for eternity and for eternal dreams to come true which is more in a spiritual dimension where we can more easily transcend and transport self into imaginary locations and positions which love and song inspire without boundaries ... Sometimes longer and longer , but too oft only for a moment or two , which keeps us hoping and dreaming for more and more ... beautiful thoughts and dreams which satisfy our wildest fantasies but also heal the brokenness from our limited power and restricted realities... Dream on !!!
Good for you, Mega. Very post, but you seem to have posted it on a desert. Nothing but lame one-liners here. There are much better versions of this old song.
Many thanks for this excellent version that i remember the Mamas and Papas your pleasant video is veryyyyyyyyyyyy feellllllllll good !!!!!!! and with the Wonderful touching voice of Jackie
I've always loved this song since "Mama" Cass Elliot sang it in 1968. I'll always be reminded of going to see The Tigers play at Tiger Stadium every time I hear this wonderful song!
Absolutely one of the best renditions out there. Fantastic. The down side is you damaged it by choosing to add voice over. Actually you killed it. So says the Ghost!!!
