My Take
Tony Hatch is the sort of figure I love to champion: the hitmaker working behind the curtain. Born in 1939 near London, he composed, arranged, played piano, and produced across pop and television scoring, and that OBE confirms how deeply he shaped British entertainment. What I admire is the absence of ego in the role. He chased the memorable melody rather than the spotlight, building songs that lodge in your head long after the credits roll. In an industry obsessed with front-of-stage glamour, the durable craftsmanship of writers like Hatch deserves far more recognition than it usually gets.
