Smoke 'em if you Got 'em. Great Marketing, and some great music


These are records that one would presumably earn by sending in proof of purchase coupons to the cigarette manufacturers, in this case DORAL and Marlboro.  Click on the post's title for the opening song on the Marlboro album.  It is the great Elmer Bernstein's  (1922 – 2004) most awesome title film score from The Magnificent Seven, performed by Erich Kunzel & Cincinnati Pops Orchestra.  Bernstein won an Oscar for his score to Thoroughly Modern Millie (1967) and was nominated for fourteen Oscars in total.  Wow!  He also won two Golden Globes and was nominated for two Grammy Awards.  I don't think he was related to Leonard.  Was he, Ned...?

    I do not believe Elmer and Leonard were related, although both were immensely talented
