Hoagy Carmichael (1899-1981) was a legendary
singer/songwriter who. who wrote many classic songs,
including "Stardust", "Lazy Bones", "Chimes of
Indiana", "Georgia on my Mind", "Heart and Soul"
("Don't Think Twice, It's All Right": I'd give her my
heart but she wanted my soul), "Memphis In June" (
"Tight Connection to my Heart": A hot-blooded singer,
singing Memphis in June), "Shooting Stars", "Skylark",
"The Tambourine Waltz", "Things Have Changed", "The
Three Rivers, (The Allegheny, Susquehanna and the Old
Monongahela)", etc. I don't even know half of these
songs, but in the titles alone there is a lot of
resonance to Dylan's work.
He also appeared in movies, only about a dozen, but
fairly prominent titles with big name actors like
Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, Kirk Douglas, Myrna
Loy, George Raft, Vincent Price, Claire Trevor, Merle
O'Brien, Doris Day, Cary Grant, Jane Russell, Susan
Hayward. etc.
