Sing The Songs of Jimmy McHugh

When it came to writing songs for the movies that caught on with the general public, few were on the level of Jimmy McHugh (1894-1969), even if his tunes ended up being much better known than he was. Although he was never as famous as the trio of Irving Berlin, George Gershwin and Cole Porter, McHugh ranked at the top with those three. In his career he wrote over 500 songs, dozens of which caught on as standards.
