Michel LeGrand dies

If he had only written the one classic song, "Windmills of Your Mind" he would be worth a mention but there was so much more:

When he moves I watch him from behind
He turns and laughter flickers in his eyes
Intent and direct when he speaks, I watch his lips

I'd never heard of him either, but I'm certainly familiar with some of his music, having scanned the Wikipedia article. Impressive.

The song was going through my mind having heard the advert.  Seems that it is so often the case we recognise the work having never known the man. How fantastic to leave a legacy of music in his stead. Music certainly is one of Gods best creations.
