I first heard Vangelis's music when it was used for Carl Sagan's PBS series "Cosmos", and I immediately sought out more of his pieces.
RIP Vangelis.

He has 169 credits on IMDB as a composer. Most of them were for the Chariots of Fire theme used on other TV shows or movies over the years.

I did not know that was Vangelis. I still get some of those themes in my head.
