From imdb:

"John Morris, Oscar-nominated, Emmy-winning composer for many of the classic Mel Brooks comedies including “Blazing Saddles” and “Young Frankenstein,” died Thursday at his home in Red Hook, N.Y. He was 91.

Morris was Oscar-nominated for co-writing, with Brooks, the title song for “Blazing Saddles” – a sendup of classic movie cowboy tunes sung by Frankie Laine for the opening of Brooks’ 1974 film. Morris was nominated again in 1980 for his dramatic score for the Brooks-produced “The Elephant Man.”

Morris served as Brooks’ composer beginning with “The Producers” in 1967; he wrote the original arrangement for Brooks’ famous “Springtime for Hitler” song, and composed the rest of the underscore.

Morris’ most famous score is undoubtedly “Young Frankenstein,” for which he composed a memorable violin theme that plays a key role in the story. Under the title “Transylvanian Lullaby,” it has even been performed by top classical artists from violinist Gil Shaham to the Chicago Symphony Orchestra."

They did not pay attention to Bacalov and Frontiere�s deaths, some months ago. Why?

Sad news. I loved Young Frankenstein growing up, and his score was a major part of that. Rip

Very sad to hear of his passing. Mind you, 91 is a good ol’ age, isn’t it?
His scores were terrific. I remember hearing his score for David Lynch’s "The Elephant Man" for the first time and knowing I would forever be influenced by that score. Rest in peace, John Morris and thank you for all the incredible music.

He wrote some of the most beautiful music I have ever heard. "Young Frankensetin" and "The Elephant Man" are just two examples. His score for "The Wash," which most people did not see when it was released in 1988, is also beautiful. His tuneful music for "Silent Movie" is also another masterpiece. I hope to see some of his unreleased music finally released now that he is gone. What a wonderful tribute that would be.
