Fleetwood Mac - Dreams (1977)

This was the single that put Fleetwood Mac over the top, scoring the band's only #1 hit in the US. From the legendary album Rumours, it was a triumph of composition by the band's singer, the lovely Stevie Nicks, and remains a timeless classic to this day. I have always loved this song and Stevie's haunting vocal. "Dreams" is a work of beauty, lyrically and musically, and it will never die.

This video combines various film footage with the classic music video performed by the band. My timing had to be spot on, right down to the millisecond, or it would never work. I think the effort was well worth the time invested.

Released in March 1977 in the US (June 1977 in the UK), "Dreams" peaked at #24 in the UK and #1 in Canada, reaching #1 in the United States on Billboard's Hot 100 and on the Cash Box Top 100 on June 11, 1977 (CB date). May it be spring 1977 forever, a very magical year, whenever this song is played and heard.
