Doesn’t surprise me. His work with Anthony Newley was great, but without him, that man was arguably the Nickelback of show tunes. The Rex Harrison Doctor Dolittle? Leslie Bricusse. Those sappy songs from Hook? Leslie Bricusse (and he wrote even more of them, back when it was supposed to be a full-blown musical). That stupid poem that stops the first Superman cold? Bricusse. (Thank goodness that wasn’t sung as originally intended…)
