Some of his earliest songs include “ I Hold No Grudge” (1965), which Nina Simone recorded, and “ Face It, Girl, It’s Over” (1968), performed by Nancy Wilson. After briefly working as a seventh-grade teacher, Badalamenti was hired at a Manhattan music publisher. The young musician earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees at the Manhattan School of Music, graduating in 1960. He began playing piano at age 8, according to the New York Times’ Anita Gates, and later “came to appreciate the piano when girls admired his playing.”
“For the condemned characters of Twin Peaks, the music is not merely a decorative hood,” Beaumont-Thomas wrote, “it’s the scaffold from which they’re hanged.”īorn in Brooklyn in 1937, Badalamenti was a second-generation Italian-American. In 2010, the Guardian music editor Ben Beaumont-Thomas hailed Badalamenti’s Twin Peaks score, which also includes the haunting “ Laura Palmer’s Theme,” as “the summit of TV soundtracks.”
