I love the theme to Kojak. R.I.P.
Quite a prolific career! Of all the films on Cacavas’s extensive resume, “Hangar 18” is the one I’ve seen the most recently, and I thought the score was very effective (better than the film itself!). RIP.
I have performed numerous John Cacavas compositions over the years. He was a talented composer and will be missed.
Best song Mr. Cacavas ever composed was called “Bluebird” used on the airport 1975 soundtrack. May he rest in peace.
Loved his score for the movie “Horror Express.” RIP Mr. Cacavas.
His scores for “Horror Express,” “Airport 1975,” “Airport ’77” and “Satanic Rites of Dracula” are some of my favorites. Rest in peace, Mr. Cacavas.
