"Dream Lover" (1959) was written and performed by Bobby Darin. Darin invited fellow singer Neil Sedaka to play the distinctive piano part. The song climbed to #2 on the U.S. charts (being held out of #1 only by Johnny Horton’s “Battle of New Orleans”). Its catchy melody and lyrics about longing for an ideal love made it a standard, covered later by artists like Tanya Tucker and Glen Campbell.
