It's Leslie Bricusse day in the Amazing Things thread!
Who's Leslie Bricusse, I hear you ask. Why, he's only one of the best unsung lyricists and musical composers out there. I know him best through his collaboration with Anthony Newley for the soundtrack of the Rex Harrison Doctor Doolittle movie (fan video with Doctor Who clips, just because), but the amazing thing I learned today is how much more he did... Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, again with Newley Peter Pan (the 1976 version, not the Mary Martin version you're more familiar with. Mia Farrow as Peter Pan, Danny Kaye as Captain Hook, etc.) Babes in Toyland (the 1986 Drew Barrymore version, not the Disney one) again with Newley "Goldfinger" from the Bond film, again with Newley "Somewhere in My Memory" from Home Alone, with John Williams (I linked to an orchestral version, I watched Home Alone as a child so many times that I'm rather sick of the movie now, but the song is still nice) "Christmas at Hogwarts", with John Williams
