Darn That Dream (DeLange-Van Heusen) by Benny Goodman & his Orchestra, vocal by Mildred Bailey

“Darn That Dream” originated in the short-lived (13 performances) stage musical “Swingin’ The Dream,” which starred Louis Armstrong as “Bottom” in a modern-day adaptation of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” Musical Supervisor for the play was none other than Benny Goodman, who performed in the production with his sextet and also recorded this top-selling version of the song.

THE 1940 HITS ARCHIVE - a collection of commercial recordings and songs that proved popular during the calendar year 1940 (some were recorded in 1939) via sales, sheet music, and radio exposure.…plus some others that have gained increased recognition or have been shown to have had an impact during the decades that followed.
