Henri Mancini (16 April 1924 – 14 June 1994) wrote appealing film scores and themes that readily adapted themselves to "easy listening" arrangements.
Charlie Chaplin (16 April 1889 – 25 December 1977) the great star of the silent screen was heavily involved in the music for his films. He was musically illiterate so his work was accomplished with the help of professional musicians. The balance of the collaboration seems to have been never satisfactorily determined.
A Rhyme for Us
The movies Mancini has scored
Make quite a respectable hoard.
He captured our hearts,
A place on the charts,
And just about every award.
Silent Music
Charlie Chaplin wrote the scores for silent films, and while
You ponder on this paradox, just watch the screen and “Smile”.
