Loved The Rockford Files. Mike Post was a one-man industry for a while there: The A-Team, Hill Street Blues, Magnum PI. I forget how many others he had a hand in. Not to mention The Greatest American Hero, Cheers, The Jeffersons, Good Times. Quincy Jones wrote the Sanford & Son theme, for goodness sake. There seemed to be a golden age for TV theme songs. It's definitely passed now. The average show has to squeeze in so many commercials that there just isn't space for 'em anymore. john micek. ----- Original Message ----- From: To: Sent: Thursday, February 08, 2007 11:16 AM Subject: RE: Re: Instrumentals (was re:) > 'Theme from The Rockford Files' was great.
