Do people know who Vagelis was? Vangelis, composer for ‘Chariots of Fire’ and ‘Blade Runner,’ dead at 79
Born in Greece, Evángelos Odysséas Papathanassíou became more well known to the world as Vangelis. He went on to create the scores for “Antarctica,” “The Bounty” and “Alexander.”
But the “Chariots” theme song, which reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart, became his most famous work and won him an Oscar in 1982.
Besides Chariots of Fire, and Blade Runner, he was involved with the score of the 1984 movie Bounty with Mel Gibson as Fletcher Christian and Anthony Hopkins as William Bligh. And a bunch of stuff I've never heard of. Here's a link to IMDB.
I imagine that most people, if they include a song, will use the theme from Chariots of Fire, but I heard so much of it in the 80s, I am still tired of it.
This is "Love Theme" from the movie Blade Runner.
