Stephen Foster primarily made his money through his career as a composer and songwriter in the 19th century. He is best known for his popular songs, such as "Oh! Susanna," "Camptown Races," and "Swanee River," which were widely performed and published. Despite his success during his lifetime, Foster struggled financially and often sold his songs for small fees, leading to limited financial gain from his works. His music gained significant popularity posthumously, contributing to his legacy rather than his immediate wealth.

What is the meaning of beautiful dreamer by Stephen Collins Foster?

Stephen Foster sang and played this on the Lawrence Welk show in 1967. The audience loved it and he played it a month later on Ed Sullivan. The Monkeys, The Beach Boys, and Dylan all covered it. In the 80's, Fostermania revived it for younger audiences, not familiar with his heaven-sent solo guitar riffs. The movie "E.T." is claimed to be loosely based on "Beautiful Dreamer". (Needs verifying) It is said to be a musical, thematic study of young Foster's crush on a nun, who was a teacher of his at his Ohio parochial school. Foster never openly identified his crush to her, but wrote it into this song, many years later -- feelings laid bare. God Bless Stephen Foster. God Bless America.
