Mike Post (born Leland Michael Postil, September 29, 1944 in Berkeley, California) is an American multi-Grammy- and Emmy Award-winning composer best known for his TV theme songs for such primetime series as ''Law & Order'', ''Law & Order SVU'', ''The A-Team'', ''NYPD Blue'', ''The Rockford Files'', ''L.A. Law'', ''Quantum Leap'', ''Magnum, P.I.'', and ''Hill Street Blues''. ==Early musical career== Post's first credited work in music was cutting demos using two singing sisters, Terry and Carol Fischer. With Sally Gordon, they went on to become The Murmaids. Their first single, "Popsicles and Icicles" (written by David Gates), was a #3 hit song in January 1964. Post also provided early guidance for the garage rock band the Outcasts while in basic training in San Antonio, Texas. He was the songwriter and producer for both songs on the band's first single, released in 1965, and also arranged a local concert where they served as the back-up band.〔Review from ''Fuzz, Acid and Flowers'', partially reproduced on ''www.dennysguitars.com/outcasts1.html''〕 He won his first Grammy at age 23 for Best Instrumental Arrangement on Mason Williams' "Classical Gas", a #2 hit song in 1968. He is also credited as the producer for Williams' LP that included this song, ''The Mason Williams Phonograph Record''. Billed as the Mike Post Coalition, their track "Afternoon of the Rhino" became a sought-after Northern soul track. The single peaked at #47 in the UK Singles Chart in August 1975. Post also worked with Kenny Rogers and produced the first three albums he recorded with his country/rock group the First Edition (between 1967 and 1969). Post also produced Dolly Parton's hit album ''9 to 5 and Odd Jobs'' in 1981. Much later, in 1997, he produced Van Halen's ''Van Halen III'' album. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mike Post」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
