Score Productions
Score Productions is an American musical production company specializing in background music and themes for television shows. Started in 1963 in a brownstone townhouse on the Upper East Side of Manhattan by music producer Bob Israel, Score has created some of the most recognizable tunes in America — most identifiable by just a few notes.
Among the composers who worked for Score Productions are Charles Fox, Edd Kalehoff, Walt Levinsky, Arthur B. Rubinstein, Dick Lieb, Michel Camilo, Chuck Loeb, Billy Barber, Irving "Benny" Robbin, Charles Gross, Deborah Hurwitz, Glen Daum, Birch Johnson, Joe Kurasz and Les Fradkin.
Legacy
One of the Score-produced compositions, "Come on Down", also known as the theme song from The [Price Is Right (American game show)|The Price Is Right], would eventually become a number one hit on Billboards Dance Club Songs Chart for Crystal Waters in 2001. The single also marked the first time that a television theme song reached number one on a Dance chart, and the first to feature lyrics.Selected credits of Score Productions music composers
