Happy Birthday Charlie Chaplin

The tuneful tramp: the forgotten musical genius of Charlie Chaplin | Music | The Guardian.

Think of some of his most iconic scenes: when the Kid, played by Jackie Coogan, is torn away from the Tramp by the authorities; or when the Tramp comes face to face with the flower girl at the end of City Lights; or the moment he unwittingly gets involved in a workers’ march in Modern Times. The emotion is always ramped up by his music, proving his unerring sense of theme, structure and timing.
