“My Dream”
is probably one of the lesser known hits of The Platters. Williams does a great
job with the lead vocals (as usual).
The flip
was recorded in the same session with the group’s first hit song “Only You” and
its flip “Bark, Battle and Ball” plus “Why Should I”. This is a nice R&B
track with a solid rocking rhythm.

price: Very Good+ is $10, Near Mint is $20
