RIP Lalo Schifrin
 

Grammy-winning television/film theme/score composer/conductor Lalo Schifrin has passed at 93. He was responsible for composing the themes for Mission Impossible, Starsky & Hutch, Bullitt, Cool Hand Luke, Mannix, and also composing the scores for the Dirty Harry films, Enter The Dragon, the Amityville Horror films, the Rush Hour films, and hundreds of other films/series. He was an accomplished jazz pianist and collaborated a lot with Clint Eastwood, who like him was a jazz music aficionado. He created the Paramount TV jingle that started being used in 1970. Rest well Lalo Schifrin, we will always think of you when hearing your many compositions on TV.
