Cahn's rhyming dictionary Series: Book - Cherry Lane. Sammy Cahn is, without a
doubt, one of the best songwriters ever to have lived. Now you can get a glimpse
into his thought processes and years of experience with this dictionary! Cahn
felt strongly that it didn't matter what a lyric looked like on paper; what mattered
was how it sounded when it was sung. As a result, this book was put together with
the songwriter's needs in mind. It contains 50,000 words that are arranged phonetically,
according to vowel sounds, rather than alphabetically. This invaluable reference
tool also includes a 32-page introduction by Cahn, in which he relates stories
from his work with notable composers and partners Jule Styne and Jimmy Van Heusen.
