With the recent passing of TV legend Norman Lear, I thought it'd be interesting to spotlight the theme songs for the groundbreaking shows that he created and/or developed:L the Bunkerverse, if you will, of All in the Family and its spinoffs Maude (which, itself, spun off Good Times) and The Jeffersons, as well as Sanford and Son and One Day at a Time.

The themes were written by top-shelf artists such as Quincy Jones (Sanford), Dave Grusin/Alan & Marilyn Bergman (Good Times), Lee Adams/Charles Strouse (All in the Family), and Jeff Barry and Ja'Net Dubois (The Jeffersons). And they're some of the most memorable theme songs of the era and of the medium.

See, the thing about Jeff's characters is that all of them look exactly like Jeff, but none of them look anything like each other.

MacNamara? Yeah, he looks like Jeff.

Man in a hurry? Clearly Jeff.

Professor Hidgens? Yup, that's Jeff.

BUT THESE THREE DON'T LOOK ANYTHING ALIKE

Lecture 6: The Brill Building sound dominated the sounds of rock and roll and the airwaves by the early 1960s. Here is a fascinating discussion between songwriter Ellie Greenwich (1940-2009) and Canadian songwriter Christopher Ward. Greenwich discusses the process of working closely with the band The Shangri-Las in the recording of her song, “The Leader of the Pack,” a huge hit in 1964. In the early 1960s, Greenwich married songwriter and record producer Jeff Barry (1938- ), and the two collaborated on a number of hugely successful songs in the 1960s. They continued to work together even after their divorce in 1965.

♫ Do Wah Diddy Diddy ♫ (Redux)

Let’s just kick back and have a fun song tonight, shall we? I bet all of you over a certain age will remember this one! This was written by the songwriting team of Jeff Barry and Ellie Greenwich, who were looking to recreate the gibberish gold they struck on The Crystals hit Da Doo Ron Ron. They stumbled upon Da Doo Ron Ron, but found that creating a nonsense phrase on purpose was not easy, as…
