My Mom would play this album over n over when I was about 12, she had great taste in music, n I'm 61 now, n missing her like crazy, music helps to comfort me, she died 5 years ago
i just love this song as a matter of fact i love every song on this album i never get tired of hearing these songs no one could ever sing them like nancy and lee
Lee was in a class of his own, helped by that vibrating sensual instrument, his voice and talent. Emotion is very important in a song and these two carry it off brilliantly. Lee as the somewhat sheep-faced dreamer and Nancy as a devoted "little woman."
When I was stationed on the island of Mauritius with the RN, we had this LP Fairy Tales and Fantasies, in Wrens' quarters, which I played non-stop. Whenever I hear any of the tracks, it takes me back to 1969 and Mauritius. Happy Times.
This song reminds of my childhood friend. He had a job in Toronto; wanted his own company and went to Edmonton with his wife and 2 small children; decided he would rather work in Vancvouver and moved there with his wife and three children. Then he decided to return to Toronto and left his wife and children in Vancouver. Never found what he was looking for and died 5 years ago at age 60.
This has been my fav song when i was a kid, but then one day my dad jus threw away their cd and i wasn´t able to listen to it anymore! Now after more than 10 years i finally found it here. Thank u so much for posting!!! Still my fav song
Had a high school friend once who the song Elusive Dream could have been written for - married with 2 children, wandered across Canada for his one big break - wife finally left him in British Columbia but he never stopped looking for his big break. SO SAD
This will mean nothing to anyone BUT, I first heard this as an 18 year old Brit who had emigrated to Australia in 1969 and was working in the Iron Ore mines of Paraburdoo and Tom Price in Western Australia.Them was the days!
@XxSternchenxX8 @phonicwheel It is so sad when music is thrown away,,, just as bad as throwing away a classic book,,, This was one of my favorite duets in the 1960's,,, and still is,,,,,, Nancy's song, "TIME" and her duet with Lee in "SAND" are wonderful~! IMNSHO, this is the only version of "ELUSIVE DREAMS" worth hearing, though others are okay, as well
You have it BACKWARDS. Tammy/Davids version is really amazing, also Bobbie Gentry/Glen Campbells was great too. Pop singers just cant sing Country. They should stick to Pop. A genre that requires little talent.
Lee Hazlewood was "Pop"? That's a new one. The Houston/Wynette version is my favorite, too, but not because Hazlewood lacked the talent to write or perform--in ANY genre.

This is the best version performed by best duet in the world.
Thank You Nancy. RIP Lee.

Die 2 stemmen zijn geweldig
Fantastic they were perfect together thier voices blended so well and the emotion came through it will never be bettered ..thank you for uploading
one of the most beautiful songs ever written and a great version of it. They don't write like this in country music anymore. such a shame.
Bought this album when I lived at Fort Ord, California back in the late 60's and still have it. Great songs !!!
duo is brilliant beyond any words !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was on HMS Devonshire and drove everyone mad by playing the Nancy and Lee LP over and over.

Beautiful ¡¡¡ Nancy is the best¡¡

As a miner, I guess you're a fan of Nancy & Lee's "Arkansas Coal (suite)" too? :)
TheDivine MrM Nope! sorry. just 'Elusive Dreams'. twas one of those magic moments that stuck in my mind....

@myweeter Weird. I was stationed at the Presidio of SF at about the same time, at Letterman Army Medical Center.
I wonder if they found it?
Listen the version of Charlie Rich and then your heart will be broken for sure.
Lee H wrote many good songs--but he was best alone!
This is the best version, the David/Tammy version lacks emotion.
I'd like to dedicate this song to my friends Chris & Cheryl ----- its not over its just beginning .
Did Lee and Nancy had it together some times?
Did Lee get any children?

How quirky 😂
Tammys Songversion ist besser, aber in Deutschland gesperrt.
