Sandor 796 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 1972's Pete 'N' Tillie is just sparsley scored by John Williams, but I've always been very fond of the main theme, one of Williams' more soothing long-lined melodies.The theme comes out best during the Main Titles sequence when played on the piano, possibly by Williams himself.This is a score that I would love to see have a CD release at some point. P.S. I know the song 'Love Is The Only Game In Town' is based on the theme, but in all honesty: that song doesn't bring out the melody's potential. It's one of the least succesful songs based on Williams' music in my opinion. Hlao-roo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmmusic 1,822 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I had only listened to the song, and haven't seen the movie (one of the 3 Williams I still have to see to complete his filmography).That main title cue is VERY VERY LOVELY!!

Thor 7,452 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Yup, great score. I have a decent rip of the whole thing, as well as the song. Would fit neatly as a 'bonus score' with another Williams effort, preferably also unreleased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mark 3,624 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 First time I see a "John T Williams" credit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 7,452 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 First time I see a "John T Williams" creditHe has used it a few times. On the M SQUAD episode "The Trap", he's even credited as John T. Williams Jr.What I find even weirder is that he removed 'Williams' altogether for his first solo album THE JOHN TOWNER TOUCH. There was obviously a need for him to delineate himself from his -- at that time -- more famous father. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Andrade 1,260 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Williams father was famous on the studio system, not sure there was any need to for that.The reason for "The John Towner Touch" title as been told before and was a marketing one, as the Kapps label had Roger Williams under contract and didn't want two Williams on their catalog of artists.

Sandor 796 Posted March 28, 2015 Author Share Posted March 28, 2015 Publicist; that version -I have it as well- with its Morricone-like feel at times, wasn't arranged by Williams, right? I know there was a single version released back in 1972 which was arranged and produced without any involvement from Williams. I've always assumed it's this particular recording.

publicist 4,643 Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 It's Ferrante & Teicher or something similar. I heavily doubt Williams involvement due to the different aesthetics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
