This was the favorite music of Hugh Hefner...
On the night of September 27, the official Playboy Twitter account announced that Hugh Hefner, founder of the classic American publication, had died at his mansion in Holmby Hills, Los Angeles, at the age of ninety-one of natural causes. The fact became the news of the day in the majority of news portals in the world and is without a doubt one of the most unfortunate deaths so far from 2017.
Months earlier, on April 7 exactly, two days before his birthday number ninety and one, People magazine said a selection of Hef on the soundtrack of your life at Amazon Music with reason to accompany the launch of the series documentary American Playboy: The Hugh Hefner Story which tells the impact of Hefner in global culture, making use of its private file that manages to capture the story behind Playboy man.
In terms of musical selection we have a list of 24 themes showing his love for jazz, including several issues of Frank Sinatra, Billie Holiday, Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, Glenn Miller, and more.
