Jeff Harnar salutes one of the most
prolific songwriters of the last century, Sammy Cahn. With 26 Academy Award Nominated songs,
including 4 Oscars, an Emmy and Broadway scores, Sammy Cahn is perhaps best
remembered as the lyricist who put more words into Frank Sinatra’s mouth than
any other songwriter. Jeff Harnar’s
“SAMMY CAHN ALL THE WAY” is a musical scrapbook of Hollywood, Broadway, World
War II and those swinging Rat Pack hits that have underscored American lives
for decades.
