Tonight I imported a little known B-Side track off of a single released by Michael Damian in 1989. Damian did a remake of “Rock On” which was featured in the film “Dream a Little Dream”. The B-Side track, “Where is She?” performed by “Blue Future” was also featured in the film but NOT on the soundtrack. Strangely, it sounds as if the vocals are Michael Damian’s. I have not been able to confirm that, nor have I found any information on a band by that name. However, I found the out-of-print 45 a few years ago and tonight I made it possible for me to listen to the track on my iPod by importing it to my computer. I even went so far as to remove a few pops and clicks from the track. Considering the source, I’m very happy with how it turned out. I then created some album art for it:

I wrote to Larry Weir, the writer of this track! He responded to my email. Here is the email exchange and the official details of the track:

Subject: Blue FutureHello Larry,
I just wanted to drop you a line because some time ago I transfered a copy of the song “Where is She?” by “Blue Future” to my computer from a 45. Then I blogged about it–which probably wasn’t the brightest thing I’ve ever done as I regularly receive requests for the song over a year later.
I basically have three things to talk about.
1. I’d like to take the time to thank you for writing such a beautiful song. As many artists sometimes don’t appreciate their own work, feel like it wasn’t finished or it may have been rushed–I think it’s important for you to hear that many kids who grew up in the 80s and watched “Dream a Little Dream” really enjoyed this track. So from all of us to all of you–thanks!
2. Who is Blue Future? Was it all studio musicians? Did you sing the lead?
3. Do you own it? If so is it on that album of your music? I’d love to snag a digital copy for my own pleasure at some point before I die.
That’s it! Feel free to answer if you want. I won’t be offended if you don’t.
Take care,

Thanks for the note. Interesting story on that. As I was thrilled that they put it in the film, the music producers that controlled the soundtrack called with this good and bad news. Bad news: There are too many big name artists, and you will NOT be included on the “Dream A Little Dream” soundtrack! Good news: “We’ll put it on the B side (back in 1989 they still had vinyl singles) of the “Rock On” single. I had the last laugh as “Rock on” went to #1, and I got paid the same as the A side for record sales…making more $$ than anyone involved on the actual album. Not even sure I still have a copy of it…but if I locate it…I’ll send it off to you! Thanks for enjoying one of my all time favorite compositions. I did song it & used a few of my friends and studio guys to back me up and brother Tom was actually the other 1/2 of Blue Future. He now runs Studio City Sound (see: www.studiocitysound.com). We also just re-did Teen Witch a music film we did in the 80’s and it’s rocking. Check out www.myspace.com/teenwitchthemusical! thanks again!

Someone has requested that they lyrics be posted to this entry. So here it goes…
Where is She – Blue Future
Written by: Larry Weir
———————-Where is she?
Where is she?
I’ve been looking night through dawn.Where is she?
Where is she?
I’ve been searchin’ on and on…And I’ve been lookin’ a lifetime
Just to find her
You don’t know…And I’ve been hurting for so long
Well it’s starting
Now to show…Where is she?
Where is she?
I keep waiting for a call…Where is she?
Where is she?
I keep pacing down the hall…And maybe it’s an illusion
That keeps sayin’,
“That’s the one…”Maybe it’s just confusion
That keeps playin’
When I know that there is no one…[Chorus]
Where is she now?
I don’t know–oh…
Where is she now?
I don’t know–oh…Maybe I have been hiding
In another state of mind?Could it be I could find her
in a moment–but I just won’t take the time?[Chorus]
I’ve been searchin’ on and on
I’ve been lookin’ night through dawn
I don’t know… (Where is she now)I’ve been waiting for her call
I’ve been pacin’ down the hall
But I don’t know–oh!Where is she?
Where is she?
UPDATE: 4/13/2008
A Year later. Today I obtained a cassette single of Rock On. I imported it and I think I’ve come up with an even CLEANER copy of the single.

Hello!!! I absolutely love that song, and have been wondering who wrote/sang that song and where I could get it since I first saw that movie. I love the soundtrack and was so disappointed when the Where Is She song wasn’t on it. Do you know where the rest of us might find this song…downloadable version…or on CD. ANYTHING!!!!?!?!?! Thanks!!!
I have looked for this song for about 15 years. I always knew who it was by because of the movie credits but could never find it anywhere on the internet. If there is anyway to get a copy of the file from you, I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks a ton!!!
Omg I own Dream A Little Dream and I really love it, and I love the song where is she, but I never can find it, I would appreciate it if you can send the song to me, k thanks.

I have searched online for “Where is She” and am not able to find it anywhere in a CD or MP3 / WAV format. I ended up ordering a cassette of the song, which has not arrived yet. I came across your sight and that you were able to convert your 45 version to put it on an IPOD. Would it be possible for you send a copy of the song to my email address?
I would very much appreciate it.

Hi there.
I notice that you also have a copy of “Where is She,” the song that is presumably sung by Michael Damian.
I also notice that you have a cleaner copy of that song…
The copy I have sounds a bit distorted throughout it, and I was also wondering if I can acquire a copy of the updated one from you?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
-Alberto
