The William Tell Overture was a Classical Music piece; can some one out there tell us who composed it & approximately when? In the United States it was used as the theme song for the Lone Ranger stories ( A lawman in the 1800s American West.) as a radio play in the 1940s & later on television. Sounds Incorporated melded Rock with Classical music before the Beatles, Moody Blues, & E.L.O.
This was how they did it on a show called "you can't do that on television" from Nicelodean. It seems that no kids today have heard of the lone ranger whereas wjen I was growing up in the 80s, everyone called it "the lone ranger" even though it hadn't been on for thirty years.
Ah yes Sounds Inc. The rasping sax of Major West and the driving beat of Tony Newey. I saw them many times back then. They really came into their own when they backed Brenda Lee - What a gig that was!
This stuff rocks man . Great to hear it again .
