In Conversation With: Leslie Bricusse 

Leslie Bricusse's name will live on forever through his songs. Rest in peace.

Michael Caine mentioned a very close pal of his was near the end...i guessed it was Leslie. RIP...

This man was, verily, the greatest lyricist who ever lived. May he rest in peace.

His soundtrack to Scrooge (1970) is an absolute masterpiece. Thank you for a most colorful soundtrack to life, Mr. Bricusse. May you rest in peace.

One of my idols.. He and Anthony Newley were MAGIC together.. Thank you fo all the joy

Co-writing with Anthony Newley, Cambridge-educated Leslie Bricusse and Anthony came up with all the songs in Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory and the song Feeling Good. On his own, amongst other things, Leslie Bricusse wrote the songs for Dr Doolittle, including Talk to the Animals. The talent in him, the scenes that he helped create or to continue (British musical theatre and British musical movies), and the people that he also has been connected to in music and elewhere, is so special. There's a mixture of Edwardian revival, Victoriana pragmatism, and hippy /jazz Bohemianism in the late 60s/very early 70s.

RIP.

Wonderful man. Wouldn’t tire of listening to him.

One of my most favorite songwriters. I don't know why he isn't on Broadway. The greatest British songwriter, bar none.

I stumbled upon Leslie Bricusse through his composition of the theme for the 1968 film "Sweet November". An endearing and unforgettable piece.

Leslie Bricusse: Brilliant. Plain and simple. Never mind the hits. Look for Something In Your Smile, Walk Through The World With Me, and Crazy World.

I love his songs. May he rest in peace…

Fascinating man! What an incredible life!

Mr. Bricusse is an enormous favorite of mine. Recently in a Burt Bacarach book, Burt is incredulous over the fact that Leslie does not play an instrument. Tough to believe. How can all these complex harmonic settings be accomplished (Scrooge) without knowing and creating music. Melodies are one thing. Lyrics are huge. But the harmonic moves are a very large part of writing songs. Any comments??

Love this man! Thank you for all your hard work that provides awesome music.

Great interview

RIP, sir.

Wow. To have a career like this man has must be fantastic.

A very pleasant and informative discussion.
