RIP Pete Rugolo 1915-2011

Pete Rugolo was an Italian born composer of music for film and television. I must admit I am not too familiar with most of his work but what I do recall very well is his work for the popular 1960s television show THE FUGITIVE, starring David Janssen. His music also led to plenty of gigs working for Stan Kenton, Nat King Cole, Mel Tormé and a great deal of other artists of the 1940s, 50s and 60s.

Rugolo left a great legacy behind in wonderful music, also beyond THE FUGITIVE. His last work was done well into the 1990s. Rest Peacefully, Pete, you've earned it!!
