Starting The Week off on a High Note
- I have decided to try and start each new week off on a positive high note. But being a glass half empty kind of guy I suspect things will turn into crap soon enough.
By Gary;
They are all gone now.
Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis, Natalie Wood, Peter Falk, Keenan Wynn, Larry Storch and Blake Edwards have all left us.
But in their wake they left us the musical-comedy jewel of The Great Race. In my mind it ranks as the greatest comedy of all time.
But in this case we celebrate the music of the great Henry Mancini who did the beautiful music for the film.
Often cited as one of the greatest composers in the history of film, Mancini won four Academy Awards, a Golden Globe, and twenty Grammy Awards, plus a posthumous Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 1995.
Mancini brought us The Pink Panther, Breakfast at Tiffany's (Moon River), Peter Gunn and so many more. Enjoy.
