The love theme from Chinatown is so haunting

[@chasvox2]

I did a voice over gig for Towne for a film he directed. Great guy. Great session. Great "lesson." Such an honor....The man who played Mr. Mulwray was a friend of mine...Many good memories of both....

[@Architectureguy]

Wow...I'm an aspiring voice actor. I've kind of caught that after working on a podcast and really enjoying the work. I haven't released it yet, but am building a vocal booth in my basement. Can you elaborate? I'm just fascinated by the whole process.

[@aaronbrooks7132]

Sad for all the families that have lost loved ones. RIP to them all.

[@brucekuehn4031]

Theme from Chinatown was written by Jerry Goldsmith and the trumpet solo was played by Uan Rasey

Didn't know Judy Belushi died. I hope she is reunited with John. They met as teenagers.

[@ashonlewis9353]

Really? She died on the 5th of July on a Friday

[@steveconn]

Life in the circus looking after John. RIP

[@casimir-p5k]

We lost Donald Sutherland just a few days ago. Robert Towne directed him as Coach Bill Bowerman in a wonderful film about the life of Steve Prefontaine - "Without Limits". I was in that film and got to meet both of them. Ordinary people achieving extraordinary performances.

RIP Mr. Landau and the master scribe Towne.

[@TylerRakstis]

RIP to all.

[@mililaniman]

Rest in peace to John Landau. I enjoyed the movies he produced.

Could CBS this morning credit the background music they're using in this video & others. Thank you

[@d.b.gaston665]

The music in this video is the theme music to the movie Chinatown (which was written by Robert Towne) composed by Jerry Goldsmith.

[@recherche4528]

What about Tony Knight?

[@BFA100]

Jon Landau's first name has no "h" in it.

[@recherche4528]

Wow. It’s really sloppy that they missed that.

[@debbie5728]

Biden and Harris Campaign.... RIP.

[@brianhess9083]

It's not over until it's over. There's still some voting to do.

Really?! You had to put that here? Time to remember, not to politicize.
