One Sheet Jimmy McHugh wrote some of our most memorable songs for five decades. After his death in 1969, his great grandson was given the task of promoting the songwriter’s catalogue. From McHugh’s start at the Cotton Club in Harlem to the glamor of film in Hollywood, we hear his songs recorded by legends from Sinatra to Lady Gaga. While licensing these songs for movies, commercials, TV and Broadway shows, the singer journeys through the magic of his great-grandfather’s stellar career. (Dances With Films)
