"Chariots Of Fire" Composer Vangelis Dies At 79

It was one of the last big instrumentals to make an impact on the charts after it was used as the theme for the hit movie "Chariots Of Fire." The Greek musician, whose full name was Vangelis Papathanassiou, has died.   

The only other big hit he had was with Yes' Jon Anderson, as part of Jon & Vangelis. Their "Friends of Mr. Cairo" was a #1 song in Canada, but failed to do as well in other parts of the world.
