I haven’t read the news for a while, until today.
As the French would say…
“Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose.”
Those little fuzz faces are my best sales force yet! Seriously I so appreciate you.
We have the full collection! @RealJamesWoods @Millerita (Cute girls sell albums, so feel free to use)
Thank you for sharing this insightful review of VIDEODROME. David Cronenberg was so prescient over forty years ago that it’s downright scary. It’s an honor to have been a seminal participant in this mind-bending and truly frightening adventure. Debbie Harry’s eerie performance was magnificent.
I agree

You can listen on Pandora and all the major digital service providers through this link. Thank you for your kind words. My label is Breakheart Music. woodswayne.lnk.to/TheKillers…
If you’re a collector, THE KILLER’S WIFE has a one-of-a-kind splatter vinyl available at jameswoods.com. Or you can enjoy the album at your favorite digital service provider, woodswayne.lnk.to/TheKillers…
Trying to set up something at a venue in Los Angeles would be fun. Our musicians are so in demand, scheduling is tough. Bob tours Europe and South America and Shooter is booked solid as a producer. Our band members are simply the best in the business, and are on the road constantly. If you think herding squirrels is tough…!!
Lyrics on Apple now have to be submitted and formatted (for a nominal fee). I created my own label, which is fun and I’m learning a lot. Some things just take a minute, however, as we are doing so much as a producer and songwriter, too. The extraordinary person running the label with me has her hands full, but we’ll get there. After all, this is our third album in less than three years. Lots of work, but tons of fun!
So many of you have asked that I post the lyrics on my new album, THE KILLER’S WIFE. We thought a lyric video might be something you would like. Bob Wayne put it together using one of Sara’s gorgeous photographs. youtu.be/jW-Bkr5ecd8?is=kxrw… via @YouTube
Very kind of you to say. Thank you. How about Jimmy Stewart? Henry Fonda? Sidney Poitier? Elizabeth Taylor?
Bette Davis was not only one of the 25 best, she may well have been the single best ever. Anthony Hopkins?
Schiff is despicable, granted, but he is just a puppet. The marionette was always Obama, of course. The real question is who was the mastermind pulling Obama’s strings. I suggest you don’t even ask, especially if you value your life.

I appreciate the response. It’s hard for musicians to make a living these days, what with all the streaming services. I hope you’re doing well, Paul, and best of luck with your Christmas project!
Thanks for reading James. No disrespect intended. My mom, an upright singer and player, once barked at Johnny Cash arriving at the Louisiana Hayride with entourage carrying his guitar, "Well, real musicians always carry their own instruments." "Right you are, little missy," he quipped. And since, rarely photographed without a guitar in hand. I'm working on Xmas tunes now and will highlight Cahn. Funny, he wrote Let It Snow in LA in a heatwave in 1945. Probably a story there somewhere.
Gee, thanks for the “education,” Mr. Levey. May I humbly return the favor.
Frank Sinatra recorded roughly 89 songs with lyrics by Sammy Cahn (many more than once), primarily in collaborations with composers Jule Styne (earlier years) and Jimmy Van Heusen (later years). web.archive.org
Cahn and Sinatra had a long, close association starting in the 1940s. Many of the songs were written specifically for Sinatra films, TV specials, or albums. Below is a substantial list of the best-known and most frequently cited ones (drawn from discographies, the Wikipedia list of Sinatra recordings, compilation albums such as Frank Sinatra Sings the Select Sammy Cahn, and other sources). It is not every single recording, as the total is large and includes lesser-known or one-off tracks, but it covers the major standards and hits.

Compilations such as the 1996 Frank Sinatra Sings the Select Sammy Cahn collect many of the Capitol-era classics (Come Fly with Me, Time After Time, The Tender Trap, Guess I’ll Hang My Tears Out to Dry, Love and Marriage, All the Way, High Hopes, and others). owiki.org
Cahn’s lyrics for Sinatra range from romantic ballads to upbeat swing numbers and album title songs. The partnership produced multiple Oscar winners (“Three Coins in the Fountain,” “All the Way,” “High Hopes”). For a full searchable discography, sites like sinatradiscography.com or the Wikipedia list of songs recorded by Frank Sinatra are useful starting points.
