"Just a Dream" is a 1958 single by Jimmy Clanton and His Rockets released on the Ace Records label.
The actual record-label states that it was written by Clanton and Cosimo Matassa (Matassa was Clanton's manager), but other sources state that Clanton was the sole composer.
Original words written by Regina F Phillips and sent to Lew Tobin which were copyrighted.
Regina never received credit for the song lyrics.
[2] Apparently Lew Tobin was a bit of a song shark as noted by Randy Johnson.
