Sammy Cahn

Sammy was singing at Rainbow and Stars in NYC. In the beautiful Rainbow Room and a man began heckling him. There were waiters and a Host but they did nothing! So I walked over to the man and told him to leave and he did. At the end of the set Sammy Cahn gave a speech about me. He thought he was going to have a heart attack, and the men did nothing to stop the guy. He invited me to join him at his table and he sent me presents including an autographed songbook. He was such a nice man. Best of all, he gave me great advice as a lyricist and I took him seriously. I met him again a few more times and he always came over to me to start a conversation.
