Alley Cat composer dies at 95
mainThe Danish composer Bent Fabricius-Bjerre has passed away at a great age.
In 1962 his instrumental composition ‘Omkring et flygel’ was retitled ‘Alley Cat’ and sold a million copies, reaching #2 in the US charts and #1 in Australia.
It’s instantly recognisable.
The theme was used in several films, among them Duets (2000), starring Gwyneth Paltrow, and Imaginary Heroes (2004), starring Sigourney Weaver.
Bent renamed himself Fabric.
All you need is one flash of inspiration.
