Subject: Laurie Johnson: The Avengers theme composer dies
Written By: Philip Eno on 01/22/24 at 8:40 am
Composer Laurie Johnson, who provided some of Britain's best loved television themes and film music, has died at the age of 96.
Johnson's memorable themes include The Avengers, The Professionals, Animal Magic, and This is Your Life.
The composer also arranged instrumental versions of dozens of songs, which were used as production music.
His family said Johnson died last Tuesday, "leaving behind a legacy that will forever resonate in our hearts".
"Laurie's music touched the lives of millions around the world. Throughout his illustrious career, he composed numerous iconic scores, themes and soundtracks that graced our lives across film, TV, theatre and radio," they said in a statement.
Other memorable TV themes include Jason King.
His film credits include Dr Strangelove, Tiger Bay and It Shouldn't Happen to a Vet.
