Bob Thompson & Orchestra

A great great surprise with this one !! It's like Ray Conniff plus Jazz and Swing all in one go !!... Just For Kicks....MMM Nice ...&... Sound of Speed will be posted at a later date !

RCA wanted pop orchestra music. They turned to Bob. He made Just for Kicks, MMM Nice!, and On the Rocks, which were more experimental and ambitious than what they wanted. He was nominated for a Grammy but nobody bought the records.

Throwing down the gauntlet, he composed Sound of Speed for Dot Records, an LP that combined sound effects and orchestra around the theme of rockets, cars, and trains. 

Nobody bought that one either. The song Starfire, with its spaceship roar, became a classic in what became known as Space Age Pop music.
