- <p> DIED. Jimmy Van Heusen, 77, composer of many of the most
- melodically engaging songs of the 1940s and '50s; in Rancho
- Mirage, Calif. Van Heusen supplied Bing Crosby with 1944's
- Academy Award-winning Swinging on a Star and Frank Sinatra with
- a string of hits from High Hopes to All the Way, both Oscar
- winners. Jazz improvisers often found Van Heusen's tunes
- harmonically rewarding. Sonny Rollins' 1957 solo sax recording
- of It Could Happen to You is a virtuoso example.
