Major credit due Scott Joplin.
Agreed! We have to give Marvin Hamlisch credit too, for coming up with the idea of using that music. He made Scott Joplin justifiably famous, I wonder if too many people would have been that generous.
I wanted to double check the Hamlisch thing, so I looked it up on Wikipedia, there’s a couple of interesting stories there.
Here’s a link if anyone is interested.
