Fanfuckingtastic! Chock full of edifying and entertaining content. The description of The Marketts sound is music in itself. Looking forward to the post on Benny Powell (and your others). Thanks.

I hate to disagree with you, but I shall. Batman is way down the list. The Peter Gunn theme has got to be the best ever and I've never even seen the show. Usually I will shun the popular but it won a Grammy! It was such a hit Mancini put it out as an album. Everyone has their own tastes and the industry is more about moolah than music, but the very first album of the year was "The Music From Peter Gunn" beating out Judy Garland and Sinatra. Frankly I'm not sure that Hefti didn't at least subconsciously (and maybe with a little help from bennies) channel a little Peter Gunn while writing Batman. Anyway, glad I got that off my mind. Batman? I would have to put Hawaii 5-0 and maybe even Sanford and Son ahead of Batman.
