“I Can’t Give You Anything But Love”

Jimmy McHugh was a prolific writer of songs, many of which would become American Songbook staples (he wrote Johnny’s festive recording” ‘Ole Kris Kringle”).  Johnny sat down with the documentary makers this year to discuss his many McHugh penned recordings. 

See Johnny in the world debut of “I Can’t Give You Anything But Love: The Jimmy McHugh Story” on June 27th 2023 at DANCES WITH FILMS Festival in Hollywood, CA .
