  • Trivia
    In addition to being a prolific composer of music for film, he has quite a career as a songwriter. His first successes were with Nina Simone. He reportedly stopped by her office unannounced and asked if she would record his songs "I Hold No Grudge" and "He Ain't Comin' Home No More" by singing them for her a cappella. She said yes on the spot. Since then, he has gone on to write songs for or collaborate with many notables such as Tim Booth, Marianne Faithfull, Julee Cruise, and Dolores O'Riordan.
  • Trademark
