You may not know his name, but his contribution is legendary. He was Frank Sinatra’s muse, and every performer wanted a lyric from him. Sammy Cahn wrote the lyrics to many songs, with such composers as Jule Styne, James Van Heusen, Gene de Paul and others providing the melodies. Sinatra recorded more of his lyrics than anyone! Some of these songs include “Time After Time,” “Day By Day,” “Ain’t That a Kick in the Head,” “Come Fly with Me,” “Be My Love,” “My Kind of Town,” “Teach Me Tonight,” “The Tender Trap,” “All the Way” … the list is endless! I will salute the work of this alternately swinging and romantic lyricist throughout my next Table 41 gig on June 18, 2013, to mark his centennial. “Ring-a-Ding Ding,” as Sinatra would say.
