Wikipedia article
"'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.
Apparently Lew Tobin was a bit of a song shark as noted by Randy Johnson.

The single went to number one on the R&B Best Sellers lists for one week and peaked at number four on the Hot 100.
Cover versions
*Ruby Winters covered the song in 1969 and it peaked at #40 on the US Best Selling Rhythm & Blues Singles chart.
