How The Desert Loved Lucy
History by Allene Arthur.

Call Him Responsible: The Desert Life of Jimmy Van Heusen
Memorabilia from Marty Newman. Photography by Ethan Kaminsky. He was Frank Sinatra’s favorite songwriter (“I Thought About You,” “Polka Dots and Moonbeams,” “High Hopes,” “All The Way,” “Pocketful of Miracles”). More than that he was Sinatra’s role model. “Frank wanted to be Jimmy,” the saying went, “but he couldn’t pass the physical!” We’re reprinting here the timeless profile of the composer by Gloria Greer from Palm Springs Life, April 1962. And Gloria has updated us on Van Heusen’s final years. Nice nostalgia.
