The life and good times of one of the world's favourite
songwriters. If you've ever hummed a popular film or stage song
from the mid-1950s on, the chances are you've been humming one of
Leslie's. The man behind songs such as Talk to the Animals,
Goldfinger, Feeling Good and Pure Imagination has been celebrated
throughout the music industry. The result is a string of awards to
his name, including a Grammy, a couple of Oscars (as well as ten
nominations) and eight Ivor Novellos. Leslie's story of talent,
determination and a little bit of luck will take you on a
fascinating journey from humble beginnings through this hardest of
businesses to dizzying heights. Over the years, Leslie has
collaborated with a dazzling array of stage and screen stars,
including Rex Harrison, Peter O'Toole, Albert Finney, Richard
Attenborough, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr, Julie Andrews, Roger
Moore, Liza Minelli and Peter Sellers, and of course his
sensational songwriting partnerships with Anthony Newley as well as
with composers Henry Mancini, John Williams and John Barry. "Candid
and hilarious, you'll devour Leslie Bricusse's autobiography in one
delicious sitting. His recall is amazing and I can vouch for the
authenticity." Joan Collins "His catalogue of songs is enormous -
his achievements endless." Elton John "The book made me laugh aloud
so many times. I'm in awe that you have pulled off such a
monumental feat." Julie Andrews
