Grateful Dead Family Discography: All I Have To Do Is Dream

All I Have To Do Is Dream

Composer: Boudleaux Bryant

All I Have To Do Is Dream was possibly played by most members of the Grateful Dead, billed as Bobby Ace And The Cards From The Bottom Of The Deck, on June 11, 1969. No tape of this show circulates. A setlist produced by a deadhead who attended the show includes the song.

The song was played by Bob Weir, sitting in with Bruce Hornsby, at a benefit show in January 2014.

After the success of the first two Everly Brothers singles, Bye Bye Love and Wake Up Little Susie, the third was a relative failure. Boudleaux Bryant decided that a change in direction was required and wrote some ballads for the Everly Brothers. One of the resulting songs was All I Have To Do Is Dream. It was recorded by the Everly Brothers on 6th March 1958 and released on a single in April 1958 with the Roy Orbison song Claudette on the flip side. It became the Everly Brothers biggest hit in the US.

Some sources incorrectly list Don Everly, Phil Everly and/or Felice Bryant as co-composers.
