Imagine

Written for the 1967 Peter Sellers comedy The Bobo, this is one of Cahn’s more obscure film collaborations — pairing him with French composer Francis Lai, best known for his Oscar-winning score for Love Story. The film was not a success, but the song stands on its own as a graceful, romantic piece.

A reminder that Cahn’s career extended well beyond his famous partnerships with Styne and Van Heusen.
