ʻO Leslie Bricusse he haku mele Pelekania kaulana, mea hoʻokani pila, a he haku mele no ke mele kahua. ʻO ka mea lanakila ʻo Oscar no kahi ʻoihana hoʻolālā lōʻihi i haku i nā hana kūpono, i kēia lā i manaʻo ʻia he poʻe kahiko o ke ʻano.
Ua hui pū ʻo ia me nā hōkū papa honua ma kāna moʻokāki. Ua koho ʻia ʻo ia he 10 mau manawa no Oscar. I ka makahiki 63, ua loaʻa iā Leslie kahi Grammy.
ʻO ke kamaliʻi a me ka ʻōpio o Leslie Bricusse
ʻO Ianuali 29, 1931 ka lā hānau o ka mea pena. Ua hānau ʻia ʻo ia ma Lākana. Ua hānai ʻia ʻo Leslie i loko o kahi ʻohana naʻauao kuʻuna, mahalo nā lālā i ke mele, ʻo ia hoʻi ka mele kahiko.
ʻO Leslie ke keiki ʻeleu a akamai loa. ʻAʻole wale ʻo ia i hoihoi i nā hana mele. Ua aʻo maikaʻi ʻo Bricasse ma ke kula. He mea maʻalahi loa iā ia ke aʻo ʻana i ka ʻepekema kanaka a me ka ʻepekema pololei.
Ma hope o ka loaʻa ʻana o ka hoʻonaʻauao ma ke kula haʻahaʻa, ua komo ʻo ia i ke Kulanui o Cambridge me ka hoʻoikaika ʻole. I loko o kēia manawa, hoʻomaka ka hoʻokumu ʻana o Leslie ma ke ʻano he mea hoʻokani pila, haku mele a me ke keaka.
Ma ke kulanui, ua lilo ʻo ia i mea hoʻokumu i ka Musical Comedy Club, a me ka pelekikena o ka Rampa Theatre Club. Ua hoʻāʻo ʻo ia i ka hana o ka co-creator, ka luna hoʻokele a me ka mea keaka o kekahi mau hōʻike mele. Ua hoʻokani ʻia ʻo Out Of The Blue a me Lady At The Wheel ma ke keaka West End ma Lākana. I loko o kēia manawa, ua loaʻa iā Bricasse kāna kēkelē Master of Arts.

Ua laki pālua ʻo Leslie i kona ʻike ʻia ʻana e Beatrice Lilly i make i kēia manawa. Ua nānā ʻo ia iā ia e pāʻani ana ma kekahi o nā hana o ka Hui Rampa. Ua kono ʻia ʻo ia e ka mea hoʻokalakupua Kanada e lilo i lālā o ka hōʻike revue "An Evening with Beatrice Lilly" ma ka Globe Theatre. Ua loaʻa i ka mea hana kiʻi makemake kahi kuleana nui. I ka makahiki holoʻokoʻa, hoʻomaikaʻi ʻo ia i kona mākaukau ma ke kahua keaka.
Ma kahi o ka manawa like, ʻike ʻo ia i kekahi mau talena hou iā ia iho - ka haku mele a me ka haku mele. Kākau ʻo ia i nā palapala no nā mele a me nā mele no nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni.
