(The three would eventually reunite and release the first of two "Trio" albums nearly a decade later in 1987). Harris included the trio recording of "Mr. Sandman" on her 1981 album "Evangeline", though with the stipulation that it not be released as a single (given that Parton and Ronstadt both were affiliated with other record labels). However, when Harris later changed her mind and wanted to put the song out as a single, she rerecorded it, singing all three parts herself, and releasing it in 1981, under the title "Mister Sandman". The single reached number 10 on the "Billboard" Hot Country Singles chart, and number 37 on the "Billboard" Hot 100, making it Harris' only single to reach the top 40 on that chart. Harris's single version did not appear on an album until the 1984 compilation "". Buddy Morrow and His Orchestra released a version in 1954, which reached No. 20 on "Billboard"s chart of "Most Played by Jockeys". In January 1955, a version by Max Bygraves reached No. 16 on the UK's "New Musical Express" chart. The most successful recording of the song in the UK was by Dickie Valentine, which peaked at No. 5 on the "New Musical Express" chart in February 1955. The Fleetwoods released a version in 1964, as a single and on the album "Before and After". Their version reached No. 113 on "Billboard"s Bubbling Under the Hot 100 chart and No. 19 on "Cash Box"s "Looking Ahead" chart of singles with potential of entering the "Cash Box" Top 100. Tommy O'Day released a version in 1978, which reached No. 96 on "Billboard"s Hot Country Singles chart. In 1996, German power metal band Blind Guardian released a CD maxi single with a cover version of "Mr. Sandman." Bette Midler recorded the song for her 2014 album "It's the Girls!. In 2017 SYML released a cover, which was described as "an ominous and brooding song full of dark waves of emotion." Ballard also rewrote the lyrics for Christmas use as "Mr. Santa". Singer Dorothy Collins released "Mr. Santa" in 1955, which reached No. 51 in "Music Vendor". Amy Grant recorded a version included on the 1999 album "A Christmas to Remember".
