<P> By far the best - known version was recorded by The Everly Brothers and released as a single in April 1958 . It had been recorded by The Everly Brothers live in just two takes on March 6, 1958, and features Chet Atkins on guitar . It was the only single ever to be at No. 1 on all of the Billboard singles charts simultaneously, on June 2, 1958 . It first reached No. 1 on the "Most played by Jockeys" and "Top 100" charts on May 19, 1958, and remained there for five and three weeks, respectively; with the August 1958 introduction of the Billboard Hot 100 chart, the song ended the year at No. 2 . "All I Have to Do Is Dream" also hit No. 1 on the R&B chart as well as becoming The Everly Brothers' third chart topper on the country chart . The Everly Brothers briefly returned to the Hot 100 in 1961 with this song . It entered the U.K. Singles Chart on May 23, 1958, reaching the No. 1 position on July 4 and remaining there for seven weeks (including one week as a joint No. 1 with Vic Damone's "On the Street Where You Live"), spending 21 weeks on the chart . </P> <P> The song has also featured on several notable lists of the best songs or singles of all time, including Q's 1001 best songs ever in 2003 . It was named one of the "500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll" by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and received the Grammy Hall of Fame Award in 2004 . </P> <P> The B - side, "Claudette", was the first major song writing success for Roy Orbison (who also recorded his own version of the song) and was named after his first wife . As a result of this success Orbison terminated his contract with Sun Records and affiliated himself with the Everly's publisher, Acuff - Rose Music . </P> <P> The Everly Brothers' version of "All I Have to Do Is Dream" is featured rather prominently in the 2001 film Riding in Cars with Boys: first the original recording is heard when the father (James Woods) is driving his young daughter (Mika Boorem), who is singing along; at the end of the film the father and the daughter (Drew Barrymore) jointly are singing their beloved oldie whilst huddling together and reminiscing . </P>
