Jimmy Van Heusen, the composer of such hits as Swinging on a Star, All the Way, Moonlight Becomes You, Love and Marriage, Come Fly With me, and High Hopes, winner of an Emmy and four Academy Awards, was content to let his music speak for itself as he travelled through the rareified air of the golden age of American popular music.While his legacy is inextricably linked with that of his best friend Frank Sinatra, Van Heusen was much more than a satellite in the Crosby/Sinatra firmament. Van Heusen is the last associate of the Rat Pack to have his story told. It is long overdue, but well worth the wait.

Christopher Coppula is a first time author who undertook this journey as a labor of love and a tribute to a musician whose story has gone untold for too long.
As a long time aficionado of the Great American Songbook I believe that Jimmy Van Heusen is the greatest of popular composers. The new book Swinging On A Star by Christopher A. Coppula provides a long-awaited complete story of his life. Coppula's writing is as scintillating as Van Heusen's music. I highly recommend this book to all music lovers. --Kenneth L. Roberts
Exceptionally well written, informative, and entertaining, Jimmy Van Heusen: Swinging on a Star is a long awaited and much overdue biographical tribute to the life and accomplishments of one of America's finest songwriters of the mid-twentieth Century American Music reference collections. --James Cox, The Midwest Book Review
