The life
and good times of one of
the world's favourite
songwriters. If you've
ever hummed a popular
film or stage song from
the mid-1950s on, the
chances are you've been
humming one of Leslie
Bricusse's. The man
behind songs such as Talk
to the Animals,
Goldfinger, Feeling Good,
and Pure Imagination has
been celebrated
throughout the music
industry. The result is a
string of awards to his
name, including a GRAMMY,
a couple of Oscars (as
well as ten nominations)
and eight Ivor Novellos.
Leslie's story of talent,
determination, and a
little bit of luck will
take you on a fascinating
journey from humble
beginnings to dizzying
heights. Over the years,
Leslie has collaborated
with a dazzling array of
stage and screen stars,
including Rex Harrison,
Peter O'Toole, Albert
Finney, Richard
Attenborough, Frank
Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr.,
Julie Andrews, Roger
Moore, Liza Minelli, and
Peter Sellers, and of
course his sensational
songwriting partnerships
with Anthony Newley, as
well as with composers
Henry Mancini, John
Williams, and John
Barry.
