The boot is more encyclopedic, but EMI put out a nice sampler.

Dominic Frontiere - 12 O'Clock High (TV soundtrack 1964-66, La-La Land 2022)

1674350022206.png

One of the best dramatic TV programs ever was greatly aided by a motion picture quality soundtrack. 20th Century-Fox pulled out all the stops when they decided to remake their hit 1949 movie for the small screen. Frontiere achieved his biggest successes on TV with the scores for shows as diverse as The Outer Limits, The Fugitive and The Flying Nun.

Too bad he decided to go into the football ticket business. Wiki shares his sad tale of crime and punishment:

In 1986, Frontiere was incarcerated for nine months in a federal penitentiary after scalping tickets to the 1980 Super Bowl, which he obtained through his then-wife, Los Angeles Rams owner Georgia Frontiere. He was estimated to have scalped as many as 16,000 tickets, making a half million dollars in profit that he did not report to the Internal Revenue Service. Frontiere pleaded guilty and was sentenced to a year and one day in prison, three years probation, and fined $15,000 for failing to report income from the sale of the tickets and for lying to the IRS. Georgia Frontiere filed for divorce shortly after Dominic's release from prison."

To borrow an image from another of Frontiere's shows, after that he was definitely "Branded":

A number of Beatles posts over the past few days - been a while since a complete Beatles listen. Started yesterday - always amazed how much I enjoy even the hardly-played album tracks

Indie Rock, Alt-Country, Art Rock, Americana
This. Again.


Birddog ~ Songs from Willipa Bay (2003)




The Twilight Singers ~ Twilight as played by the Twilight Singers (2000)



RYM Review of :5.0: This rating is an initial impression, though it would probably take a somehow overlooked Santana solo or George Michael guest spot to change my mind about giving it 5 stars.
