“Quentin’s Theme (Shadows Of The Night)” #13 8/2/1969

“Dark Shadows” was the definition of a cult classic. At the height of its popularity, the daytime soap was appointment TV after school for my friends and me. The show’s soundtrack, composed by Bob Cobert, became a top-selling LP. This piece about Quentin the werewolf was performed by the Charles Randolph Grean Sounde. How artsy! Grean previously wrote “The Thing,” a 1950 hit for radio star Phil Harris, and arranged Nat King Cole’s “The Christmas Song” (“Chestnuts roasting on an open fire...”).
