Harry Haag James (March 15, 1916 – July 5, 1983) was a popular United States musician and band leader, and a well known trumpet virtuoso. Harry James was born in Albany, Georgia, the son of a bandleader of a traveling circus. By age 10 he was taking trumpet lessons from his father. His father had him on a very strict practicing schedule every day. He was given one page to learn out of the Arban's book (a trumpet drill book) every day and could not do anything until he learned that page.

I Had The Craziest Dream Lyrics

Harry James

I HAD THE CRAZIEST DREAM
Harry James Orchestra
Written by:Harry Warren and Mack Gordon
#1 week of February 13, 1943 through week of February 20, 1943
In a dream the strangest and the oddest things appear
And what insane and silly things we do.
Here is what I see before me, vividly and clear:
As I recall it, you were in it, too.
I had the craziest dream last night, yes I did.
I never dreamt it could be
Yet there you were, in love with me.
I found your lips close to mine so I kissed you
And you didnt mind it at all.
When Im awake such abreak never happens.
How long can a gal go on dreaming?
If theres a chance that you care
Then, please, say you do, Baby.
Say it and make my craziest dream come true.
