<P> "A Kiss to Build a Dream On" is a song composed by Bert Kalmar, Harry Ruby and Oscar Hammerstein II in 1935 . It was recorded by Louis Armstrong in 1951 . It was also performed by Armstrong as well as by Mickey Rooney with William Demarest, by Sally Forrest, and by Kay Brown (virtually the entire cast performed part or all of the song) in the 1951 film "The Strip," and was a sort of recurring theme in the film . The song was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1951 but lost out to "In the Cool, Cool, Cool of the Evening". Another popular recording was made by one of the movie's guest - stars, Monica Lewis, and in early 1952, the version by Hugo Winterhalter and his Orchestra, with vocalist Johnny Parker, made it to the Pop 20 chart in the United States . </P> <P> Sung by Richard Chamberlain, the song gained considerable exposure due to its being on the' B' side of his 1962 hit: "Theme from Dr. Kildare (Three Stars Will Shine Tonight)". </P>
