The Quest and the Return

            The amazingly talented TV-film composer Gerald Fried passed on February 17, 2023. He composed music for early films of Stanley Kubrick, as well as lesser horror flicks like The Return of Dracula and I Bury the Living. He scored hundreds of TV episodes, including Gilligan’s Island, It's About Time, Mission: Impossible, and Star Trek TOS.

            His contribution to 45 episodes of The Man from U.N.C.L.E. is our focus for this month!

Thanks for helping honor Gerald Fried, musical genius-to-order. Just like Hemingway and Mozart, some of his stuff was hack work. But some was truly inspired.

And here is El Linko.

See you on Thursday with another album containing Fried's U.N.C.L.E. oeuvre.
