TV Theme Songs Created by Famous Musicians - Ironside
Quincy Jones - Ironside
A show about a police consultant in a wheelchair doesn't exactly scream "funky, vaguely psychedelic theme song with plenty of synths." But for some reason, Quincy Jones' theme song for "Ironside" fits so well with the show. It's an epic title sequence consisting largely of silhouettes. It's fast-paced and gets viewers excited for whatever job Chief Robert T. Ironside (Raymond Burr) has this week. The opening number holds a special place in the pantheon of TV theme songs, as it's reportedly the first time a synthesizer had been used for television. Jones stuck with the show to compose the music for the first eight episodes before Oliver Nelson took over. With the theme song's catchy beat, it's no wonder the tune has endured the test of time and gone on to be sampled in more than 100 other songs, including "Hurt You" by The Weeknd and "Codeine Crazy" by Future. https://www.tvline.com/2019445/tv-th...ous-musicians/ |
