Description

Sammy Cahn quickly became the king of the movie songs, earning Oscar nominations 15 and 16 for two title songs that he wrote in 1959 for Frank Sinatra and Johnny Mathis. Sammy Cahn's nemesis, Dimitri Tiomkin, was back in the Oscar songwriting game with Ned Washington, both of whom had started the trend of giving dramatic films a rousing title song. Who's going to emerge victorious for songs written for 1959? You'll have to listen to this episode of The Best Song Podcast to find out!
