Ray Peterson - Goodnight My Love (Pleasant Dreams) download song

Was also thinking about WQAM. Rick Shaw. Sock hops. Growing up in Miami sure has beautiful memories.

I am a Jesse Belvin fan, but no one tops Ray's version of this beautiful song.

A truly great song the vocals just magic, new to me Ray but what a voice up there with the best.

Tom, above. and Kevin, below---sounds like you two were great fans of brother Ray. I can tell you that from the heart, as he and I were like 'brothers' for over 40 years. I booked him when I was 19 and he was 'between hits,' Dunes Records having not only screwed him out of partial ownership, but Ray was so despondent over how he was being treated (mistreated) that he had basically decided to hang it up. I found him at his Denton, TX home and convinced him to fill in for another "Peterson," this time Paul Peterson of the "Donna Reed Show." Paul had 'cancelled' on me...it was one of my first major 'appreciation shows,' package shows artists did for radio stations back in the day. On the show was Johnny Burnette, Freddy "Boom Boom" Cannon, and, if I recall, The Righteous Brothers, The Rivingtons and The Coasters. A great show. Oh, a group called the "Merced Blue Notes." I produced the show for KXOA Radio, a great Top 40 AM station--and great deejays like the late Rick Shaw you lament in your comment below. Great days, great cars, great music and great 'chicks!" Rock and Roll is here to stay.

Beautiful voice, beautiful song*** RIP Ray*

OMG ANOTHER OLDIE! Does this mean I'm an Oldie too? Just wondering. I just celebrated another birthday and I don't feel any older!

Miami in the 60's--when Rick Shaw played this, it was time to finish my homework.

This song was on the radio during my senior year in HS, Torrance, CA. Brings back the memories of KRLA, just after they became a Top 40 station. Always thought that Ray should have had a lot more success than he did. I do love this one!

Love this beautiful inspiring song....for my love..hear this song of love for you before the night ends... Thank you for posting....more power!!

Beautiful ... the dances on Saturday night in the early 60’s always ended with this song. Such wonderful memories ❤️

Just a great voice and talent,,hard to find today

Hadn't heard this version before, I love it!

I close my eyes and I'm back in Pomona, California cruising with my friends. What great memories... always makes me want to go back. Nothing like oldies, unlike the obscene junk they call music today. Thanks for posting, Tom.

fantastic recording, typical wondrous 50's

I'm surprised it didn't rise higher in the charts, too. I grew up in Miami and DJ Rick Shaw always closed his nightly show with it. Not a bad way to fall asleep.

I"'m amazed to this song b'coz I was only 3years old when it came out to charts..a lovely song from a wonderful singer..
