Subject: Willy Wonka songwriter Leslie Bricusse dies aged 90
Written By: Philip Eno on 10/19/21 at 2:41 pm
Leslie Bricusse, the man behind songs such as Candyman and Pure Imagination from the hit film Willy Wonka, has died at the age of 90.
His friend Dame Joan Collins described him as "one of the giant songwriters of our time".
Bricusse had a prolific career with songwriting credits including Talk to the Animals from Doctor Dolittle.
He also penned the lyrics to Bond song Goldfinger - together with Anthony Newley - and You Only Live Twice.
Other collaborations with Newley, Dame Joan's former husband, included Feeling Good, made famous by Nina Simone.
Bricusse's agent confirmed the songwriter's death "with a breaking heart", saying he died in his sleep on Tuesday morning.
