Michel Legrand DEAD

[lolly]

Triple Oscar winning composer (Best Song for 'The Windmills Of Your Mind' from The Thomas Crown Affair, and Best Original Score for Summer Of '42 and Yentl), and also the score of The Umbrellas Of Cherbourg.

This man gifted the world with 'Papa, Can You Hear Me?'

There's a nice photo of him circulating on IG this morning from a session where he worked with Miles Davis. Davis looks about as happy as usual i.e. as if someone just shat in his cornflakes which makes it all the sweeter, in an odd way.

RIP. Windmills is a truly beautiful song, in its many forms

There's a tribute concert happening at Royal Festival Hall in September, featuring Alison Moyet and Maria Friedman.
