@SecuraOberonis - Few of us, me too, realize the impact of great composers like Elmer B. I'm not clever enough to make a brilliant video like this.
Great artists weave their music into the fabric of our lives & the lives of all who came before.
My tribute is an ever-expanding music history channel with over 500 playlists so far. It covers the globe. 111 lists let you hear the music of any year since 1900 like you've stepped back in time - EB's music appears for each year we first heard it.

Wonderful stuff, but you missed my favorite WALK ON THE WILD SIDE.

Victor Young was originally supposed to score THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. Not sure if he died during the post production or soon after but you are right. He couldn't work on TTC because of his poor health at that time.

Thank you so much for putting this up. Omg, this brings back memories



Elmer Bernstein's theme from THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN is stuck in my head.

I had the pleasure of interviewing the maestro in 2003. What a beautiful man. When I told him my favorite score of his was "The World of Henry Orient", he was taken aback and said it was written during a painful divorce and he hardly remembered it. When we chatted a few months later he said, "It took me 40 years to realize how much I poured my soul into "Orient'...I concur....I see how affecting it is now". The Caretakers, The Rat Race and Hawaii among his dozens of knockout scores. RIP........
