i remember some article that pointed out how easy it is to re-write history this way. before kurt blew his head off, pearl jam was much more widely respected. after his death, he suddenly became a god and pearl jam became the weird ones.

EV intro to Chloe Dancer / Crown of Thorns
10/25/13 Hartford
Michael Kamen (April 15, 1948 – November 18, 2003) was an American composer (especially of film scores), orchestral arranger, orchestral conductor, song writer, and session musician.
Kamen was born in New York City, USA and studied at the High School of Music & Art in New York (now Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts), then at Juilliard's School for Music Dance and Drama in New York, where he learned to play the oboe.
He founded the New York Rock & Roll Ensemble in the late 1960s, which played classical-rock music presaging bands such as Electric Light Orchestra (ELO). Kamen played oboe and keyboards as well as composing. One of his songs Sing Lady Sing, was renamed Them Changes and parlayed into a hit by Buddy Miles.
He worked briefly with Leonard Bernstein, when his rock ensemble appeared at one of Bernstein's concerts for young people.
Kamen became a highly-sought arranger in the realms of pop and rock music. In fact in Great Britain he was among an illustrious and small group of arrangers whose names constantly appeared on popular releases by major artists. His contemporaries in this field included Academy Award winner Anne Dudley, Richard Niles, and Nick Ingman. His successes include his work with Pink Floyd, David Gilmour, Roger Waters (he is one of the few people to have been invited to work with both former Pink Floyd members, after their acrimonious split), Queen, Eric Clapton, Aerosmith, Tom Petty, David Bowie, Eurythmics, Queensrÿche, Rush, Metallica, Herbie Hancock, The Cranberries, Bryan Adams, Sting and Kate Bush. For Bush, Kamen delivered a notable tour-de-force when he scored "Moments of Pleasure" from her The Red Shoes album, substantially building upon a simple piano theme Ms. Bush had composed.
In 1990 Kamen joined many other guests for Roger Waters' massive performance of The Wall in Berlin.
In 2002 he was part of the Concert for George as string conductor.
Kamen wrote eleven ballets, a saxophone concerto, and provided scores for the films such as For Queen and Country, Brazil, The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, Highlander, X-Men, Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves, Licence to Kill, the Lethal Weapon & Die Hard series, Mr. Holland's Opus, Splitting Heirs, and many others. To this day the overture from Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves is used by Morgan Creek Productions as their identifying theme. He also composed scores for both the From the Earth to the Moon and Band of Brothers series on HBO. He was nominated for two Academy Awards and won three Grammy Awards, two Golden Globes, two Ivor Novello Awards, an Annie and an Emmy. In television, his best known work was on the 1985 BBC Television serial Edge of Darkness, on which he collaborated with Eric Clapton to write the score. The pair were awarded with a British Academy Television Award for Best Original Television Music for their work. Kamen also worked with heavy metal giants Metallica, on a two day concert that was held in Berkeley, California, with the San Francisco Symphony. This S&M collaboration was a breakthrough for both music and the fans; the album went on to go multi-platinium in 2001.
Kamen formed a partnership with songwriting duo Bryan Adams and Robert John "Mutt" Lange in the 1990's and the three of them wrote 5 songs together. The success of these songs was remarkable, three number one hits in the US, two Oscar nominations, a Grammy, 2 Ivor Novello's and untold record sales. The list of the songs include:
(Everything I Do) I Do It For You - from Prince Of Thieves
All For Love - from The Three Musketeers
Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman - from Don Juan De Marco
Star - from Jack
I'll Always Be Right There - written for 101 Dalmatians
His involvement with Mr. Holland's Opus, a film about a frustrated composer who finds fulfillment as a high school music teacher, led Kamen to create The Mr. Holland's Opus Foundation in 1996. The foundation supports music education through the donation of new and refurbished musical instruments to underserved school and community music programs and individual students in the United States. In 2005 the foundation created an emergency fund for schools and students affected by Hurricane Katrina.
Though diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1997, Mr. Kamen died from a heart attack in 2003. His last recorded work appeared on Bryan Adams's album Room Service where he played the oboe and wrote the orchestration to "I Was Only Dreamin". Kamen had also completed the charts for accompaniment to two songs on Kate Bush's album Aerial, which was released in November 2005. Some of Bush's fans, wowed by Kamen's scoring of "Moments of Pleasure" from Bush's 1993 album The Red Shoes, expressed gratititude when it became known that the work had been finished.
In 2004, Annie Lennox took the stage to accept the Academy Award for Best Original Song (her composition "Into the West" from The Return of the King) Before a highly charged crowd and in balance to much joy within the "Lord of the Rings" contingent, she dedicated her achievement to the memory of her dear friend Michael Kamen.
Michael Kamen is survived by his wife, Sandra Keenan-Kamen, and by his daughters, Sasha and Zoe.
so there ya go, there was a whole list of people he worked with!
Wow, thank you bigmuzz, so nice to be enriched on a forum. See, soulsing, sometimes hijacks produce great results.
