NBC "Today" story from 1990, filed by reporter Jim Brown, on super film composer Jerry Goldsmith (1929 - 2004). I heard years ago that Brown is a big fan of the late composer - hence his multiple stories done over the years on Goldsmith.
Jerry was a genius. I met him on several occasions, during which time I was a record producer. Unfortunately, I did not record any of his scores. He is sadly missed. We won't see his like again.
Thank you for this i've loved nearly everything he's ever done. A very rare talent and someone who could always surprise people with whatever he came up with.
It wasn't so much Brown who was a fan of Goldsmith, but Today Show producer Ric Romo, who is a musician himself, and was good friends with Jerry Goldsmith.
"desire not to take shortcuts" an inspiring idea indeed. Film music still exists but there seems to be no magic anymore. Listening to the Cure of wellness score it sounded like artificial intelligence score. Same with Alan Silvestri marvel scores, completely unmemorable
the 1990 one i might add seeing as they made a crappy 2012 version which obviously doesnt touch arnies one, due to it having arnie in it and jerry doing the music and for it being set on mars, the 2012 one aint even set on mars what a load of shit
