Excerpt:

The list of stars who performed Legrand's pieces over the years reads like a who's who of 20th-century music. It includes jazz musicians such as Miles Davis, John Coltrane and Bill Evans and singers as varied as Frank Sinatra, Kiri Te Kanawa, Barbra Streisand and Nana Mouskouri.

He won five Grammys from 17 nominations, including one for the theme from "Summer of '42".
