Over his 60 year career, composer Harry Warren (1893-1981) wrote the music for more than 800 songs for 56 feature films and 112
Looney Tunes and
Merrie Melodies cartoons. Out of 11 nominations three won the Academy Award for Best Original Song.
And Life Is Like A Song is one of 7 OFAM 2025 Summer concerts presented twice:
Evening: Fri, Aug 15, 7:30 pm
Matinee: Sat, Aug 9, 1:30 pm
Forty-two of his songs made radio’s Your Hit Parade’s top 10 and 21of those reached No. 1. ASCAP lists his “I Only Have Eyes For You” as one of the 25 most-performed songs of the 20th century. His hits are legion and many have become jazz standards. So it is only natural that Chuck would suggest an OFAM 2025 concert paying tribute to him. He and the Festival jazz unit present a fine selection including “At Last”, “Summer Night”, “Jeepers Creepers”, “Lulu’s Back In Town”, “September In The Rain”, “Coffee Time”, “Cheerful Little Earful”, “Shadow Waltz”, “Serenade In Blue”, “The More I See You”, “I Had The Craziest Dream”, “I Wish I Knew”, “This Is Always”, “I Found A Million Dollar Baby”, “42nd Street” and more.
