My birthday song, my happy world (Part 257)....

Badass Birthday

On this date, in 1924 in Ohio, Henry Mancini was born.

Mancini is a renowned composer, conductor, arranger, and pianist. He is widely considered one of the greatest composers in film history. He's earned 4 Oscars, a Golden Globe and 20 (!!) Grammys!

If that's not good enough, how about I rattle off some of his works?

Peter Gunn TV theme

Moon River

Pink Panther theme

Love song from Romeo And Juliet

Love Story theme

Even the theme to TV's Charlie's Angels! But also the theme to the TV shows What's Happening?, Newhart, Remington Steele, among others!

Truly a badass!

He passed away in 1994 at the age of 70.

Badass Birthday

On this date in 1452 in Anchiano Italy, Leonardo di Vinci was born.

A true Renaissance Man, Leonardo was a painter, a sculptor, and inventor, an engineer, a scientist, and an architect.

Two of his most famous works are the Mona Lisa and the Last Supper. Either one of these would entitle him to be called a Badass. Both make it doubly so.

He passed away in the year 1519 at the age of 67

On this date in 1932 in Kentucky, Loretta Lynn was born.

Just some badass facts:

-11 number one albums

How about some songs:

Coal Miner's Daughter

The Pill

You're Looking At Country

One's On The Way
