Sammy Cahn

When Styne decided to stay with Broadway work, Cahn teamed with Jimmy Van Heusen in 1956. They practically became Frank Sinatra's personal songwriters, creating such classics for Ol' Blue Eyes as "Love and Marriage," "Come Fly with Me," and the Oscar winners "High Hopes" and "All the Way." A lyricist whose words could be brash and showbizzy or touchingly sentimental, Cahn took to the stage himself late in life with Broadway's highly successful one-man show, "Words and Music."
