The saxophonist who played the famous theme song for a very famous cartoon has died

Plas Johnson, ameriški jazzovski saksafonist, je umrl ob starosti 94 let. Njegov saksafonski solo je bil osnova za uvodno melodijo filma 'The Pink Panther', ki jo je napisal Henry Mancini. Johnson je bil znani glasbenik, ki je sodeloval z večjo številko zvezd, kot sta Frank Sinatra in Barbra Streisand. Poleg tega je bil del legendarne skupine The Wrecking Crew, ki so bili prvi izbor za studio posnetke. V intervjuju je poudaril, kako so bili studijski glasbeniki pogosto anonimni in ne plačani za svoje delo, kljub temu, da so ustvarjali zvok, ki so ga kasneje pripisali drugim izvajalcem.

Bias read (Center): Članek obravnava umrtvitev glasbenika in njegovo karierno zgodbo brez političnega konteksta ali stališča. Ne vključuje političnih subjektov ali stališč, zato je objektivno in brez stranskega ustreza.
