Legrand was a prolific composer, having written over 200 film and television scores, in addition to many songs.

Windmills Of Your Mind (album)
''Windmills of Your Mind'' is an album by the saxophonist Bud Shank recorded in 1969 for the Pacific Jazz label. The album features music by Michel Legrand who also provided the arrangements. Reception In a review for JazzWax, Marc Myers wrote that, on the album, Shank "wasn't turning on or selling out. Instead, his hard sound and all-out blowing on alto sax and flute gave the music a speeding-MG, mid-life crisis sophistication. On ''Windmills of Your Mind'', he fed Michel Legrand's jazz-based pop melodies through the Bud Shank jazz grinder, resisting the temptation to convert the film tunes into adult contemporary fare." A reviewer for The Skeptical Audiophile stated: "If you love hearing INTO a recording, actually being able to 'see' the performers, and feeling as if you are sitting in the studio with Shank, this is the record for you. It's what vintage all analog recordings are known for — this sound." Track listing ''All compositions by Michel Legrand, except as indicated' ...
