22 great songs from one of the most celebrated and prolific songwriters of all time. Mckuen first started in the business as a vocalist with Lionel Hampton's band. He moved on to write songs for television that were performed by the likes of Danny Kaye, Henry Mancini, the Kingson Trio and more. He composed the scores of the films "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie" and "A Boy Named Charlie Brown", both of which were nominated for Academy Awards. His classical musical works are still celebrated around the world. Collaborations with French legend Jacques Brel endeared him to the other side of the pond, as well as his rich award winning poetry. Mckuen is held as simply one of the best, a true american treasure and this disc compactly collects his best recordings.
