THE GREEK TYCOON. This Score Really has grown on me. I just made a Cool 18 minute CDR from the Video and I can't stop playing it. The Main Theme from THE GREEK TYCOON is Credited to John Kongos and Score to Stanley Myers. Myers is an Excellent Composer and his scoring for this is no exception. Nice Love Theme for Pres. and First Lady. It is however the Rich, Majestic and Powerful Main Theme that is really Awesome. Has kind of that Zorba the Greek feel to it but it's much more touching and so Powerfully orchestrated. If you haven't heard it, do yourself a favor and Rent the Video. It's kind of a silly Film about Jacqueline Kennedy's Affair with Onasis where they "change the names to protect the guilty" but it's fun with a Great performance by the Late GReat Anthony Quinn as "Tomasis" and the always "hard on inducing" Jackie Bisset as Jackie K. or in this one "First Lady CAssidy" I looked up John Kongos on the IMDB and he is only credited with some obscure TV Title and THE GREEK TYCOON. He is an excellent composer and it would be great to hear more of his stuff. Hope he gets back into it. It's back to THE GREEK TYCOON!! Happy listening Friends. Piero out.
