Jimmy McHugh

We're celebrating the composing skills of James "Jimmy" McHugh who wrote over 500 songs during his career in the early part of the 20th century, may of them still considered standards. He wrote for stage and screen as well as well as many "pop" standards.

Dorothy Fields came from a fantastic showbusiness family, and her career as a musical lyricist and book-writer lasted nearly five decades. We're going to celebrate her talents on this program with songs from fourteen of her shows, many of which feature standards from the over 400 songs she co-wrote,.
