Norman Gimbel may not be a name most pop music fans are familiar with but they might certainly know the songs and film and television themes this great lyricist has written over the decades.

In fact, his 2012 show, It Was Me: The Lyrics of Norman Gimbel earned Macauley a BroadwayWorld.com New York Cabaret Award Nomination for 'Best Male Vocalist.' Joined by his same musical collaborators Arnold and Burr, Jeff Macauley is bringing back It Was Me, this time to the Metropolitan Room on Thursday, May 12 at 7 pm.
