I agree with the title of this thread... everyone knows his work, but not always the name. He's right up there with Vic Mizzy, and the early work of Bernard Hermann.

I'm hoping his passing will inspire someone from Varese Sarabande, or even Percepto Records, to put out a collection.

What a great idea.

I've got Mod Squad in my head now. :)

There's an idea.

They could call it, "All The Songs You Never Want Stuck In Your Head"

or "Sadistic Songs To Torture Your Submissives By"

If you'll excuse me I'll just walk away from this thread now, whistling the theme to the Andy Griffith show...
