    Loved his rendition of the James Bond Theme with both Bond 77 and the version that played on Liparius when Bond has hanging on the moving camera.

    RIP Marvin.

    He did a great job on "The Sting", too.

    Rip

    I agree. I remember my dad and mom having that LP when I was a kid. It got a lot of plays.

    RIP, Mr. Hamlisch.

    The Sting is the perfect movie. Everybody who knows screenplays will tell you it is the perfect screenplay. I hope everybody on this forum has seen it.

    Many, many accomplishments and great scores, but oh how I love that one song in particular, Nobody Does It Better. He seemed to be a genuine sweetheart of a man; may he rest in peace.

    Rest In Peace Mr. Hamlisch.

    Yes, Bond 77 is a great track. TSWLM soundtrack is one of the first Bond soundtracks I bought.

    I agree. I recommended it, at the time, to my brother and his friend. I raved about it being a great movie. I was told that in the last scene just before the "sting", my brother's friend turned to my brother, disappointed, and told my brother sarcastically to tell me that "The Sting" is a "great" movie. Then when he saw the actual sting take place in the final scene, he laughed and left the movie theater smiling. HE was "STUNG". LOL
