Dream of Life is a studio album by American singer Carmen McRae, released in 1998 by Qwest Records after her death. This was one of MacRae's last sessions, made in June 1989 at the WDR Studio in Cologne, Germany, with the participation of the WDR Big Band. It was named after a song written by McRae at the age of seventeen and recorded by her friend and mentor Billie Holiday in 1937.[1]
For recording the album, McRae received a nomination for the NAACP Image Awards as the best jazz artist.[2]
