Scott Redford

Marvin Hamlisch was extremely prolific in the 1970s scoring a number of films including Bananas, Kotch, The Spy Who Loved Me, and The Way We Were. He also won three Oscars in 1973 alone, as well four Grammys, and a Tony Award during that particular decade. Hamlisch's biggest success both commercially and critically was his soundtrack for the now-iconic film, The Sting. Most of the tunes here were originally written by famed ragtime composer Scott Joplin except "Little Girl," and Hamlisch's "The Glove," "Hooker's Hooker," and "Luther." The well-crafted, lyrical opener, "Solace[Orchestra Version]" easily captures the movie's 1930s setting and adds just a touch of melancholy and nostalgia.
