While he is often not put into the bunch of French composers who started doing popular scores during the FRENCH WAVE in the 60's[possibly because unlike the others he has blended so much into the American culture, one got to think of him like Henry Mancini and others] He did indeed start off in the 50's doing films in France. But after his success with UMBRELLAS OF CHERBOUGH, by the late 60's he was doing major films from Hollywood. This , plus the fact his music was being exposed by major pop stars of the American culture like BARBARA STREISAND and the like. However at the same time he always went back at a steady rate to his roots doing French films.In reality pass the assumption looking at his total output, it stand close to the 50% mark. Films he did in his country and films he has done around the world. In short he is probably the most successful French film composer in America.He has done over 200 films and to list all his well known scores would be fitted for another thread.Here though are a few, THE THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR-68-ICE STATION ZEBRA-68-THE YOUNG GIRLS OF RICHEFERT-67-THE HAPPY ENDING-69-LE MANS-71PIECES OF DREAMS-71-THE GO BETWEEN-71WUTHERING HEIGHTS-71-SUMMER OF 42- 71[SMASH]BRIAN'S SONG-71[SMASH]LADY SINGS THE BLUES-72-THE OTHER SIDE OF MIDNIGHT-75-BEST FRIENDS--82-[BIG HIT]NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN-83- YENTL-83 ETC ETC ETC,MICHEL is alive and well currently at the age of 82    Posted:   Feb 23, 2014 - 12:13 PM     By:   dan the man   (Member) THE OTHER SIDE OF MIDNIGHT-75- was a wonderful score but it was a score that for some reason didn't seem to leave a Legrand Trademark. Listening to it, I always get the feeling it was from a composer like LAWRENCE ROSENTHAL or film composers from say the 30's and 40's.    Posted:   Feb 23, 2014 - 4:31 PM     By:   dan the man   (Member) Of course all wasn't good and dandy with Michel and his critics all his life. Some thought his scoring of a James Bond film NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN-83- was one if not the worst James Bond score and song. His WUTHERING HEIGHTS theme from 1970 leaves something to be desire it lacks that full blood type of theme that usually is prevalent for a movie like that. It seems to also be a little dull and redundant as well, not one of his better efforts.But these things don't subtract from the fact he was a fine film composer.    Posted:   Feb 23, 2014 - 6:40 PM     By:   dan the man   (Member) Singers always loved to sing Michel's music. Of all the film composers over the decades he would probably be in the top 10 of composers who had vocals done on his film music.    Posted:   Feb 24, 2014 - 10:12 AM     By:   dan the man   (Member) FRED STEINER was born on FEBRUARY 24, 1923 IN NEW YORK CITY.MR STEINER was most active in the TV industry although occasionally he did a theatrical film.

He passed away on JUNE 23, 2011 at the age of 88.    Posted:   Feb 25, 2014 - 7:27 AM     By:   dan the man   (Member) GEORGE DUNING was born on FEBRUARY 25, 1908 in RICHMOND, INDIANA.He scored over 200 films from the 40's till the early 80's.
