Who composed the version that's on "Televison's Greatest Hits III"?

You've helped to answer a question that occurred to me as soon as that clip started to play : yes, I do still wince when Hutch jumps onto the roof of the car...

Both leading men were guest actors on The Streets of San Francisco during season 1, buddy boy!

Mundell Love provides wall-to-wall underscore--he never lets up!--for S1 Ep3 "Death Ride." His cue at the episode's start is quite evocative of Dave Grusin's immortal "Mr. Connection" from 1973's The Friends of Eddie Coyle.

Jim, it's Mundell "SATAN IN HIGH HEELS" Lowe, not "Love", although "Mundell Love" does have a certain panache. He was a good guy to have around in the 60s and 70s, especially if one was then growing up watching TV and getting more and more hooked on the art of scoring. He worked on THE WILD WILD WEST which obviously was a series that benefited from producers who were actually aware of the music for their show, and even better still promoted overt and extravagant ideas from the composers. Why do we get CDs of music from THE A TEAM and CHiPs but nothing for THE WILD WILD WEST - which frequently had a lot of very cool music flying around? People are stupid, that's why.

Speaking of Mundell Lowe, the entire time his wall-to-wall score was playing over that S&H episode, I kept thinking that if someone wanted to hear a stereotypical '70s cop show score, then this was it. He just never lets up in providing underscore. Was he being paid by the note?

That Lowe score from the first season is one of my favorite unreleased episodic scores from the 60s/70s. I would even like a release of the Starsky scores before Columbo. smile

That same season they were also guest actors on fellow Quinn Martin series Cannon during season 2 - Starsky in "Nobody Beats The House" and Hutch in "Death Of A Stone Seahorse." And they both played bad guys.

In the S1 episode "Kill Huggy Bear", Lalo's Dirty Harry cues "Harry's Hot Dog" and an instrumental of "No More Lies Girl" are heard as source music. Outta sight.

Oh, and While Paul Michael Glaser gives off a (lesser) James Caan vibe, David Soul has a (lesser) Jon Voight quality.

Okay, back to your regular Interstellar and speculation talk. wink

Amen on Wild Wild West. Only thing I've ever heard was Lukas Kendall once tried and got a nah from studio. Can't this be revisited. Like to see a petition for this.

Years ago I saw an episode of Antiques Roadshow (UK version) where two female S&H fans brought some of their memorabilia to be appraised, like a lunchbox or whatever. Anyway, the appraiser asked the women if they remembered the Starsky and Hutch theme and the two women proceeded to jubilantly "sing"...the Tom Scott version. lol

Here it is:

Does anybody know if Shifrin's STARSKY AND HUTCH theme has ever been released as a recording; 45, LP, CD? As far as I know it hasn't, which is a damn shame since Scott's OK but inferior theme for the same show has been released and covered a dozen times (Why?). I seem to also recall Lalo has a few other now lost but very cool TV themes under his belt; BLUE LIGHT and T.H.E. CAT. And when is someone, anyone, going to release the marvelous TV music of Billy Goldenberg? I hope before I die!


There is a version by New Jersey Kings (aka James Taylor Quartet) called Pt.2, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Jj0iLcasGU as featured on the Scored 1-0 album from 96.
