He wrote such timeless classics as the stage song, What Kind of Fool Am I, pop hit, A Wonderful Day Like Today, and countless others. His seven decade career encompassed films where he often in collaboration with the likes of Henry Mancini, Anthony Newley, and John Williams, and would write such songs as Bond classics Goldfinger and You Only Live Twice, Talk to the Animals from Doctor Doolittle, Pure Imagination and Candy Man from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, the song/score for Victor/Victoria, Can You Read My Mind from Superman, and the only really good song from Scrooge, Thank You Very Much. A prodigious talent.
