American jazz trumpet player Born October 30, 1930, Wilmington, Delaware, USA, died June 26, 1956, Bedford, Pennsylvania, USA Nicknamed 'Brownie', he was encouraged by both [a64694] and [a309986], the latter was Brown's main influence. He performed with R&B bandleader [a1133913], [a251783], [a136133], and [a29977] before forming his own quintet (co-led with [a229498]).

While driving on a rainy night on the Pennsylvania Turnpike, west of Bedford, she lost control of the car and it left the road. All three were killed in the resulting crash. Brown is buried in Mt. Zion Cemetery, in Wilmington, Delaware.

LYRICS

Darn that dream I dream each night
You say you love me and you hold me tight
But when I awake, I find you're out of sight
Oh, darn that dream
Darn your lips and darn your eyes
They lift me high above the moonlight skies
Then I tumble out of paradise
Oh, darn that dream

Darn that one-track mind of mine
I can't understand that you don't care
Just to change the mood I'm in
Lord, I'd welcome a nice old nightmare

Darn that dream and bless it too
Without that dream, I never would have you
But it haunts me 'cause it won't come true
Oh, darn that dream
Oh, darn that dream
