Jazz with Connie

And the Nominees Were,… Hit Songs that Lost at the Oscars

It’s Oscar month, and Connie and guest Arne Fogel explore the surprising list of songs that lost the Oscar for Best Original Song and yet became hits far surpassing the winners!

Along with Rick Carlson at the piano, Connie and Arne sing Oscar losers by Henry Mancini (“Charade”),  Burt Bacharach (“Alfie”),  Randy Newman (“You’ve Got a Friend in Me”), Cole Porter (“I’ve Got You Under My Skin”),  Michel Legrand (“I Will Wait for You”),  Harold Arlen (“The Man that Got Away”),  Sting (“Until”)  and many more.
