Watching the Detectives MUSIC CD
25 Tracks on one disc
Crime shows alongside Westerns and sit-coms had been a mainstay of American radio for many years when TV first launched seriously in the late 1940’s. It was natural therefore that the same genres would be equally popular as the new medium took its hold on the public imagination. This CD includes themes from much loved TV shows such as Dragnet, Highway Patrol and M Squad as well as great movie themes The Man With The Golden Arm and Touch of Evil. The superbly crafted and catchy songs are performed by big name orchestras such as Ray Anthony, Henry Mancini, Nelson Riddle, Count Basie, Pete Rugolo and many more.
