Dream a Little Dream of Me

Dream a Little Dream of Me was written by Fabian Andre and Wilbur Schwandt in 1931. This brilliant song achieved its greatest success in 1968 in a version by The Mamas & the Papas. The quality of the song is perhaps best demonstrated by the fact that at least sixty "official" recordings are known, including versions by such greats as Doris Day, Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong, the Nat King Cole Trio, Diana Krall and many others.

I simply cannot get tired of this song. Musically it is so good that words fail me!

YouTube also contains countless ukulele versions, some good and some less so. What annoys me most is that many videos use obviously incorrect chord progressions, which are then copied from one another, producing increasingly wild variations. I tried to stay faithful to the original chords and made my own arrangement accordingly:
