Well, I think Michael Kamen was an incredible American film composer and he worked with a collaboration with your best friend and collaborator Terry Gilliam. Also with three movies with Kamen/Gilliam partnership “Brazil” (1985), “The Adventures of Baron Munchausen” (1988) and “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” (1998). He did very good a good collaboration.
So, Michael Kamen did a collaboration with British music producer Robert John “Mutt” Lange and Canadian singer/songwriter Bryan Adams with four films with four songs “Everything I Do (I Do It For You)” from “Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves” (1991), “All for Love” from “The Three Musketeers” (1993) (alongside with Rod Stewart and Sting), “Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman” from “Don Juan DeMarco” (1995) and “Stars” from “Jack” (1996). He was a genius. Michael Kamen was a genius.
