Carl Sigman was one of the most versatile and successful songwriters in the history of American popular music. Mainly a lyricist, he also wrote melodies and collaborated with the greatest musicians of his time, including Johnny Mercer, Glenn Miller, Duke Ellington, and Bob Hilliard. During his long career, Sigman proved himself a master of many popular music genres, from the novelty song to the love ballad, and the list of artists who recorded his songs reads like a roll call of twentieth century legends: Elvis Presley * Louis Armstrong * Tony Bennett * Nat "King" Cole * Ella Fitzgerald * Billie Holiday * Dean Martin * Van Morrison * Frank Sinatra * Ray Charles * Aretha Franklin * and Sarah Vaughn * to name a few. Many of his hits have now become standards that attract singers from each new generation. The Pussycat Dolls * the Brian Setzer Orchestra * Michael Buble * Barry Manilow * Rod Stewart * Diane Reeves * Erasure * Fun Lovin Criminals * and Nick Lowe have all covered Carl Sigman songs in recent years.
