Game show composer & accordionist Milton DeLugg has died at the age of 96.

In 1950, he composed the closing theme song for What's My Line? That lasted 17 years.

Starting in 1966, he had worked with Chuck Barris as his musical director for all his game shows (Newlywed Game, Dating Game, Family Game, The New Treasure Hunt). He also was the conductor of the band used on The Gong Show & The $1.98 Beauty Show.

Delugg will also be remembered being the musical director of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, which he did up to 2013.
