It may be worth remembering that Jimmy Van Heusen's 40 year career as a song writer extended into the 50s and 60s. With lyricist Johnny Burke he wrote Here's That Rainy Day in 1953 (prior to that, Polka Dots and Moonbeams, But Beautiful, Imagination, Swinging on a Star, and with Eddie De Lange, Darn That Dream). He went on to write with Sammy Cahn such memorable tunes as Love and Marriage, Call Me Irresponsible, All the Way, The Second Time Around and Only the Lonely.
Antonio Carlos Jobim did some of his best work with lyracist Vinicius De Moraes: The Girl From Ipanema, Favela, Insensatez, One Note Samba, O Grande Amor, Chega De Saudade (No More Blues), Once I Loved, Agua De Beber.
Last but not least, there was the collaboration of Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim on West Side Story in 1957.
