Johnny Mandel has passed away. If that name doesnā€™t strike you familiar, youā€™ve heard his work a thousand times, including the theme song, ā€œSuicide is Painlessā€ for the 1970 motion picture M*A*S*H, also used without the lyrics for the TV show.

The scope of his work is hard to cover. His filmography in movies alone covers everything from Mister Roberts and Bob Hope to Caddyshack.

He worked with Count Basie, Frank Sinatra, Peggy Lee, Barbaras Streisand, Tony Bennet, Shirley Horn, Paul Williams, Hoagie Carmichael, Mel Torme, Quincy Jones, David Sanborn, and countless others.
