Some of his best known works include the soundtrack to the 1974 movie The Taking of Pelham One Two Three and parts of the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack such as "Night on Disco Mountain", an adaptation of Modest Mussorgsky's Night on Bald Mountain. His other work includes the score of the 1985 film, Return to Oz, the "sequel-in-part" of The Wizard of Oz. Shire is married to actress Didi Conn.
Born the son of Buffalo society band leader and piano teacher Irving Shire, he met his long-time theater collaborator lyricist/director Richard Maltby, Jr. at Yale University, where the two wrote two musicals, Cyrano and Grand Tour, which were produced by the Yale Dramat. Shire also co-fronted a jazz group at school, the Shire-Fogg Quintet, and was a Phi Beta Kappa honors student, with a double major in English and music. He was a member of the Pundits and Elihu and he graduated magna cum laude in 1959.
After a semester of graduate work at Brandeis University (where he was the first Eddie Fisher Fellow) and six months in the National Guard infantry, Shire took up residence in New York City, working as a dance class pianist, theater rehearsal and pit pianist, and society band musician while constantly working with Maltby on musicals. Their first off-Broadway show, The Sap of Life, was produced in 1960 at the Sheridan Square Theater in Greenwich Village.

Beautiful job and I can’t believe it took me so long to find this!
It’s a shame that these songs, especially the instrumental How Deep Is Your Love didn’t make it to the soundtrack and have yet to be published, even after 43 years.
The work you did at removing the dialog is excellent despite the limitations of the software. I’m just so glad that you appreciate these tracks as much as myself and made such an effort to produce this!
Thank you!

Since I saw the movie for the third time I have been amazed by the music track that Tony and Arnet were dancing in the dance practice room. Unfortunately they did not put it on the soundtrack of the film.
I appreciate very much that you have given the work of publishing it in this video, it is a great 34 seconds of music
thanks

Great, thanks! Did you use any filter to isolate the soundtrack? How did you get this?

I used Extra Boy inside of a Wave Editor to remove the dialogue. It isn't perfect, but sometimes we get good results.

Great video! Where did you find All Night Train? Did you extract it from the movie? Is there a full version elsewhere?

I believe it's Mike Baird performing here. It was the very first movie ever that the Pollard syndrums were employed for the soundtrack. It's really frustrating that the latest remastered / expanded versions of the album omitted these cues or the possible long versions of them...

@spetragl ok thanks for letting me know

It was extracted and editted from the 5.1 audio track.
That is the only version available.
