Lalo Schifrin was among the first film composers I knew by name, simply because he had written a lot of main themes for TV back in the day when I grew up. So the end credits stated “theme music by Lalo Schifrin”, or something like that… for Petrocelli, Starsky & Hutch, Mission Impossible, probably some other stuff, when you watch some of that, episode after episode, even as a pre-teen child, you notice that the same name is on all of these shows with cool title themes.
