In December 1986 I got a job in a restaurant called the Ediner, washing dishes. Typical starving artist job. It was a retro diner, and part of the vibe was the music they piped in - hits from the 40s and 50s. It was my first exposure to the Mills Brothers, and it was love at first listen. There were only two Mills Brothers songs on the tapes they played, Paper Doll and Dream of You. There are many recordings of Paper Doll, which was one of the biggest hit singles of the 1940s. Dream of You, however, proved to be difficult to find. Find it I did, though, and here it is.
