Now That We're in Love
George Barrie & Sammy Cahn • 1975
The title song for the 1975 comedy Whiffs starring Elliott Gould earned Cahn his final Academy Award nomination — the 26th of his career, a record for any lyricist in Oscar history. Steve Lawrence, a longtime Cahn interpreter, delivered the original recording with characteristic warmth.
A bittersweet footnote to one of the great songwriting careers in American popular music — Cahn’s last trip to the Oscars, for a film few remember today.
