This very lovely song was written by Johnny Mandel, who is still living, in his 90s. He was a great musician, playing piano, trumpet, and trombone, and at a top level. He was a conductor and an arranger, And he was a composer, his most famous song being The Shadow of Your Smile which won Best Original Song at the 1965 Oscars. And he wrote this very pretty song, I Wish I'd Met You, made famous by the great vocalist, Lena Horne. The duet of Lena Horne and Sammy Davis Jr. singing it is magnificent.
