Mike Post
If his name is not instantly recognizable, Mike Post’s music is. His unforgettable themes for The Rockford Files, Hill Street Blues, The A-Team, Magnum P.I., NYPD Blue, L.A. Law and many other TV classics – including the Law & Order family of dramas (notably, in the landmark, two-note “dun-dun” effect he created) – are part of the soundtrack of modern American life. Steeped in music from childhood, Post was a go-to session musician as a teenager in the Los Angeles area, quickly becoming part of a legendary collective of studio musical virtuosos known as The Wrecking Crew. Post played for virtually everyone active in the LA recording scene during this time. Most notably he worked on all of Sonny and Cher’s early hits, starting with “I Got You Babe.” While working for producer Jimmy Bowen, he formed The First Edition, featuring then unknown bassist/vocalist, Kenny Rogers. A breakout success – and at 23, winning the first of his five Grammy® Awards – with his arrangement of the 1968 instrumental smash hit “Classical Gas” raised Post’s profile as a composer, arranger and producer, before television changed the course of his career in the early 1970s. His theme songs from The Rockford Files, The Greatest American Hero, Hill Street Blues and L.A. Law all became chart-topping records and landed Post four of his five Grammy® Awards. In 1996 he won the Emmy® for outstanding achievement in Main Title composition for the critically acclaimed Murder One.
