Also: His "High Hopes" became JFK's presidential campaign song. "Jimmy Van Heusen: Swingin' with Frank and Bing" airs Saturday on WNET/13 at 8.
Van Heusen, who died in 1990, was a fasciniating character: A prolific songwriter, test pilot, and Sinatra wingman. We do have clips. This show's for fans of great American popular music...
