Not long after NBC began using the Mancini version for both Sunday and Wednesday movies, my local NBC affiliate started using Jones’ theme for their local “action” news. Up until then I always watched the CBS affiliate’s news show, but that exciting Quincy Jones theme drew me to the competition and I stayed there for my local new for over thirty years. Of course the “mystery” theme only lasted for maybe a year before they changed to a more traditional “news” theme. For many years I had hoped to find it on the internet and now, thanks to you, I’ve had the opportunity, even if the sound quality is pretty bad. Maybe someday there will be a clearer version available. Thank you so very much. It brought back some good memories.Paul Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02047952819239313886noreply@blogger.com
