I didn’t previously know this but as soon as I read your comment my first thought was, “Of course it was”! He produced so many iconic songs of the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s.

Quincy Jones, Nile Rodgers, and Trevor Horn made all the music in the 80's.

The Streetbeater has been my ringtone for an entire decade. The same MP3 just moves from phone to phone.

I hired a man to come haul away some junk at my house. This was his ringtone. He kept getting calls while he was disassembling a couch. Hysterical.

What a great era for TV.

Best use of bass harmonica I've ever heard.
OK, possibly the only use of bass harmonica I've ever heard, but it's still terrific. Composed by Quincy Jones IIRC.

Only bass harmonica I’ve heard outside the Harmonicats. Anyhow, The instrumentation on S&S theme song is so incredible, it’s amazing it’s not a common set of instruments

Idk. I really dug the "Night Court" theme.
Sharticus123 t1_jbnx2t5 wrote
The Cheers theme song is a contender as well.

I remember 15-20 years ago, there were CDs you could buy that had all the TV theme music of a particular era. Fun to listen to!
