It Was Me-The Lyrics of Norman Gimbel

Jeff Macauley sings the lyrics of Norman Gimbel in “It Was Me.” Norman Gimbel won an Oscar for “It Goes Like It Goes” from Norma Rae and is responsible for some of the most recognizable and best-loved lyrics of the last half-century including those to the second most recorded song of all-time, “The Girl From Ipanema.”

Jeff Macauley explored the rich world of early musical films in “Hollywood Party–Movie Songs 1928-1934,” and paid tribute to the most popular female singer of the 40’s and a beloved Hollywood icon in “MWAH! The Dinah Shore Show,”for which he received Backstage magazine’s Bistro Award. After examining the popular songs of the ’20s through the ’40s, Jeff is now taking a look at the popular music of the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s through the extensive catalog of Norman Gimbel under the musical direction of the superbly talented Tex Arnold, who also wrote the arrangements and Jon Burr on bass.
