We would not be who we are if we did not make mention of the passing of the transexual composer responsible for the orchestration on the first three Scott Walker albums.
Angela Morley was born in Leeds in March 1924. Her early work was originally credited under her birth name Wally Stott. She had a sex change operation in 1972. In the later part of her life, Morley lived in Arizona. She won two Grammy Awards for her work in television musical scoring, also receiving two Academy Award Nominations. She died January 14, 2009, following a long struggle with cancer. She was 84.
