The great jazz guitarist Steve Khan is Sammy's son. He looks so much like his mom.

What will it be like if Sammy Cahn won the Tony Award with Jule Styne for "High Button Shoes" and the Grammys? That would've been splendid.

I'm actually related to Sammy from my Grandma's side of the family I believe.

'Don Wilikers' LOL! I recognized that name anywhere brother.
He's not lying. He's in our family tree. He's our Grandma's relative.

Weirdly, Gloria would divorce him the year after this was filmed. The "ring-a-ding-ding" that Sammy heard was the sound of Gloria cashing out.
