Does anyone know who the singer was during the record shop conversation between Luke & Roxanne- she was singing "Dream a little Dream of me"?

That song was made popular by Cass Elliot (of The Mamas and The Papas), but I don't recall if it was her version of the song that we heard in American Dreams.

thanks, Maine AD, but it was someone singing it herself in the record shop (a folk singer), as opposed to a recorded song playing in the background. Just wondering who that guest star was.

I checked the Carpetbaggers episode in my printout of the online episode guide, and for that song it says:
Ella Fitzgerald - Live (Rosey cover). So evidently the modern singer goes by the name Rosey, and "live" means it was done as an actual performance on the show. I haven't checked lately to see if the website is still active, but it's a gold mine of information for every episode of American Dreams:

Not much activity in this discussion group lately. Looks like there's not much hope we'll ever see seasons 2 and 3 on DVD:(

Thanks, Maine AD. Great site, I checked it out & yep, that's the singer, Rosey & she's actually on myspace.com. Thanks! Yeah, let's keep our fingers crossed for dvd release of other seasons- I'm watching season 1 on dvd slowly, dragging the inevitable- not wanting to get to the end of the dvds..
