He also won a Grammy Award for his work as the producer of the soundtrack for the 1984 film, "Amadeus". He was also frequently collaborated with director Woody Allen in his films, including "Take the Money and Run" in 1969 and "Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex* (*But Were Afraid to Ask)" in 1972. Strauss was born in
Know Who You Are lived with my parents there were some fields over the back and there were always gypsies camping there. They used to have these horses and donkeys and they always looked dead to me. They were not looked after which was sad." Following its lack of success, "Know Who You Are" was quickly deleted by Polydor and has since become a collector's item. The "Rare Record Price Guide" of 2014 valued the single at £80. The song later received greater recognition when a live version was included on "Slade Alive!", which became the band's first hit album when released in 1972.
