I'm pretty sure #9 was Mary Tyler Moore. Did I get it?
ReplyDelete#8. Dick Powell played Diamond on radio and David Janssen on TV. One of the themes for the that series was composed by Pete Rugolo, who would go to do THE FUGITIVE theme (also with Janssen, of course). Becky beat me to the answer on #9!
ReplyDelete#1. I know this is not the answer :( but.. I do know... Frank Sinatra recorded for the first time with Basie on 1962's Sinatra-Basie.
ReplyDeleteI'm still thinking.. :I
#7 I do not remember the name of the movie. But I do remember James Dean, did an early film with Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis.
ReplyDeleteRic and Becks you are right. Rick the theme was done 5 times , once for radio and 4 times for TV. Devol disd the first 2 seasons, then Peteas you said, and the last was done by Richartd Shores. Rick if you can tell ne what other theme Pete composed I'll give you a "2 week Pass "for December.
