Jimmy Van Heusen (26 January 1913 – 6 February 1990) was an American composer of popular songs.
Only the Best
Many Cahn and Van Heusen songs were the title songs for Frank Sinatra albums of the late 1950s. – Wikipedia
Though Jimmy van Heusen, mid-career,
Ranked with the veterans, the tried-and-the-true guys,
It still was a special delight to hear
His songs on recordings as sung by Old Blue Eyes.

Stéphane Grappelli (26 January 1908 – 1 December 1997) was a French-Italian jazz violinist.
Grappelli
Though purists were doubtless dismayed,
And hoped that the fashion would fade,
At last it was clear
From the length of his career
That his jazz violin made the grade.
