"  This Times the Dreams on Me"   Harold Arlen & Johnny Mercer wrote this song for the 1942 movie " Blues in the Night" which also contained the famous song named in the film's title. It is sung so  tenderly by Dick Haymes, a splendid example of the term crooner , a style always appreciated by women listeners. These crooners would deliver songs with loving conviction. restraint and clarity. The tradition began with Bing Crosby, followed by Sinatra, Haymes and other male singers like Tony Bennett plus young singers like Michael Buble continuing in the same artistic tradition.
