Old as the internet, but perhaps there are people who don't know it yet.

Yes, John Williams will always be one of the greatest film composers of all time.

Is that link safe?

Yeah, YouTube has these weird links these days.
If you don't trust it, go to youtube, search 'John Williams Is The Man' by ApprenticeA. You'll find it that way too.

Yes, John Williams is indeed THE MAN.

As mos now John Williams has created some of the most iconic film soundtracks

Superman, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Jurassic park to name a few.

Here's some John Williams film music that many people may never have heard. I really like it, but it's pretty different from his later work.

Interesting that he was credited as "Johnny Williams" back in 1964.

 

[MacLeod]

He was credited on "Lost in Space" as Jonny Williams.

I didn't know that. But then, I don't remember ever seeing a single episode of that program.

^Not a great loss, it got more camp as the show progressed. And no I'm not old enough to remember it in first run.

What's (also) awesome is that he apparently worked with Henry Mancini!

Williams' score to the series is interesting. It's available on CD, unless it's out of print now.

I'll also point out that the man just got two Oscar Nominations. Not bad for 79, going on 80 next month.
