 Talkin' Broadway Regional News & Reviews - New Jersey "Come Fly With Me: The Songs & Stories of Sammy Cahn" - 5/3/04
Sammy Cahn made a memorable 1972 appearance during the legendary early years of the Lyrics and Lyricists series at Manhattan’s 92nd Street Y abetted by three singers and a pianist.
Unerringly, Cahn was able to organize the stories and observations which made him a terrific raconteur to fit what has proven to be an ideal format for a humorous autobiographical musical play which deserves to become part of our stage literature.
Part of Cahn’s shtick is based on his lack of a professional singing voice (although he certainly was terrific at putting a song across).

About half-way through All the Way, his tribute to lyricist Sammy Cahn, Jeff Harnar notes that, in putting the show together, he was surprised to discover how many Sammy Cahn songs he knew without being aware that they were actually Sammy Cahn songs.
For over three decades, Sammy Cahn was one of the most prolific lyricists in Hollywood and (occasionally) Broadway, working with songwriters as diverse as James van Husen, Jule Styne and Vernon Duke.
