RIP Vangelis. Some good songs I remember liking - back in eighties I think it was.
I have just been listening to the radio and they were playing works by him, but I didn't hear the programme from the beginning so I didn't realise the reason for it.
'I'll Find My Way Home' was one song that was played.

Chariots of Fire was utterly iconic. An electronic, synthesizer-heavy tune could have been terribly out of place for a film set in the 1920s - and yet it just seems so right somehow. A work of outstanding beauty!
I remember seeing the equally beautiful I'll Find My Way Home being played on Top of the Pops when I was a child, but didn't realise for years who it was by.
