Two Original Knight Rider Themes
Posted: Mon Feb 28, 2011 11:27 pm
Years ago, I noticed that there were two slightly different versions of the original Knight Rider theme. The first version was quite obviously made by Stu Phillips and Glen Larson (it can be found on Stu Phillips' original scores CD available on iTunes). The second version (which is the one that's mostly used), I am not sure if it was re-recorded by Don Peake with more percussion, or if Stu Phillips updated it.
I believe after the first 13 episodes is when Don Peake took over the musical cues for the rest of the series. What I am wondering is if this is why the change occurred? I have both versions and would have loved to include them in the thread, if I knew how.
