Someone named Horace Silver died. He never scored a film, which is why I never heard of him.

Didn't MR SILVER do music for the soul group THE STYLISTICES in the late 70's, after they stop having hits on the charts? that name rings a bell. But anyway that is why we are listing recent deaths of celebrities on this side of the board, because they very well might not deal with film scoring. Of course feel free to list film composers here as well if you choose to . I started this thread because a lot of people die we don't find out about, often they will blitz the big ones everywhere but not the lesser known ones.

I missed this one- back in MAY , STEVEN H SCHEUER died at the age of 88, well known film critic. I remember back in the days when there was no computers and internet, and a lot less material and books done on films. His book listing thousands of film reviews in pocketbook form was a treasure to read as a kid, I think my folks got me one edition of his for my birthday.

Ten years before Leonard Maltin put out his first movie guide, Steven H. Scheuer issued his book TV Movie Almanac & Ratings which later became Movies On TV. He was the pioneer in the genre. The last of his 17 volumes came out in 1993.

Wow! That's a huge one for me Dan...a very sad loss of a true film enthusiast. I remember constantly comparing those little reviews with Maltin's and with Steven's other issues as sometimes they would vary quite a bit. I seem to remember my film critic friend showing me a "black book" one year they produced where the reviews of the films referenced were kind of bizarre and quite different than his other reference guides.
