Nominated eight times for an Academy Award, and winning twice, he was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame posthumously in 1970. Conceived and written by Daisy Henderson of Classical Musicians Scotland, mezzo Sarah Shorter , tenor Christian Schneeberger and pianist Derek Clark tell the story of his life in words and song, following on from the highly popular Celebrating Irving Berlin and George Gershwin.
