Nominated for more than 30 Oscars, Sammy Cahn’s list of original lyrics reads like a history of 20th century popular song. From his teens – when he played in local Bar Mitzvah bands – to his writing career with some of the finest composers in the music publishing and film businesses, Cahn’s life and work was devoted to his love of words and music. Eventually he would supply Hollywood, Broadway, and the radio and recording industries with many of the most notable lyrics of the century. His collaborations with Jule Styne created many of the biggest hits of the 40s and 50s, including “I’ll Walk Alone,” “It’s Been a Long, Long  Time,” “Time After Time,”  “Second Chance Around,” “ Let it Snow,” and “Three Coins in the Fountain” to name a few. With composer Jimmy Van Heusen, he wrote “The Tender Trap,” “Love And Marriage,” “All the Way,” “Call Me Irresponsible,” “Come Fly With Me,” and “High Hopes,” among many others. Cahn toured, performed, and shared the stories of his career until his death in 1993, shortly before he reached the age of 80.
