NFL Films Music, Sam Spence, Classic NFL Music, The Over the Hill Gang, Autumn Thunder

Our NFL songs medley is a collection of some great NFL Films Music from Sam Spence, an NFL Films composer of classic gridiron tunes from the 1960s and 1970s primarily.

This NFL music is from the CD collection, Autumn Thunder.
In order of play:
"The Over the Hill Gang" by Sam Spence -- 2:44
"Sunday with Soul" by Sam Spence -- 2:38
"Let's Go Big O" by Sam Spence -- 2:31
"Rainbows to the End Zone" by Sam Spence - 2:50

Sam Spence's flair for crafting jazz and big band compositions into memorable NFL melodies will be very recognizable to many of you. His famous songs transport you back to an era where players and coaches stayed with one team, when they were known more for their football exploits than their Q ratings and marketability. They capture the essence of an era gone-by. The music is riveting and was riveted into my memory when it was featured on "This Week in Pro Football" and "This Week in the NFL" TV shows regularly.

Best Wishes.

Super Bowl V

"Twisting through the Colts liki two Texas tornadoes, Walt Garrison, #32, and Duane Thomas, #33, proved the worth of Landry's tactics",

"Only once did Morton resort to that old familiar Cowboy trademark, the long pass to Bob Hayes",

"The Cowboys had to settle for a field goak, and again came away with three points instead of seven."

For someone who grew up in the 70's this is GREAT SHIT!!!!

Now that's what I'm talking about for this is a must for NFL fans like myself.

Listening to Sam Spence before football games pumps me up way more than any hard rock or rap song.

Does anyone know who does the music score and/or the name of the song for Super Bowl XIV at the 9 min mark when Terry Bradshaw and Mike Webster are running up the middle of the field?

@TheRetro64 Super bowl XIII

John Stallworth turned a routine sideline pass into a marathon 75 yard touchdown run that tied the game.

Stallworth is from Alabama and down there the locals say that he's like a blend of sipping whiskey and white lightning, smooth with a good strong finishing kick.

And right before this Mike Ditka talking how the Colts were covering Pettis (Norman) on the outside.... This music would have been for Emmitt Smith also
