Well, day 4 perhaps since I did not post in honor of Thanksgiving. I will post yesterdays posting on Monday.
I wanted to get today’s post in since it is the reason why I did movie music week this week. Given that I am in Vermont with my family for Shabbat, this will be a shorter posting.
When thinking about songs in movies, one person comes right to mind, and today is his Birthday. This man has the dubious honor of having the most academy award nominations without a win with 15. Luckily, in 2001 this streak was broken with his first and only win for the song If I Didn’t Have You from Monster’s Inc. He has scored dozens of movies and is also known for the theme song from the TV show Monk.
Happy Birthday Randy Newman!
Enjoy!
