Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I guess is a fitting tribute, then. I never really watched The Odd Couple, but that catchy theme does get stuck in my head every so often.R.I.P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wycket 36 Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I was a big fan of both Batman and Odd Couple when I was growing up. He might be dead, but he'll continue to live on because of those two memorable themes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Williamsfan301 11 Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 He also gave us Route 66 and Lil' Darlin' plus a ton of other great big band standards. One of the best composers you didn't know you were listening too.R.I.P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitch 57 Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 The Odd Couple is one of my favourite movies. Will be playing it later on as a mark of respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg1138 3 Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 This is very sad....I know far more of his Big Band music than his other stuff, and will listen to The Atomic Mr Basie in his memory tonight....Thanks for all the years of listening and playing pleasure you gave me, Mr Hefti....RIP.
