People growing up in the 60's, 70's and 80's will always remember the television shows coming on during that time. They also enjoyed the great science fiction music that these programs provided. Many of the movies also had great tunes that had a really wonderful beat. Jerry Goldsmith, John Williams, Maurice Jarre, Vangelis and Barry Gray did their best to provide excellent music for many movies and television shows that appeared over the air. They are known for "Lost In Space, " "Logan's Run, " "Barbarella" and a host of other programs.

Some years ago a man called Jerry Goldsmith took it upon himself to write the tunes for certain space shows that were coming onto television. He was interested in helping out with a program called "Star Trek" since it was something totally different. This was one show which featured a handsome young actor named William Shatner who could make many women faint. The producers also knew that young people were interested in space exploration and they had the characters travel to various locations each week.

Mr. Goldsmith went on to write the theme for a movie called "Logan's Run." This was a terrifying movie about people who could not live past the age of thirty. Logan was the hero within this film and he was a person that enjoyed his sexual freedom. He had become a reluctant runner when the higher authorities ordered him to find and destroy a place called sanctuary.

The mood of this film was very dark and the tunes used in this particular movie were very loud and frightening. John Williams is a famous musical artist who took the time to write for two very big events. In the 1960's this man wrote the title theme for a show called "Lost In Space."

During the first two seasons of this show the tune was very smooth and easy going. The producers of this show wanted to make the sounds more disturbing and dramatic during the third season of this campy show. Mr. Williams then instructed the director to include a countdown at the start of the show before his tune went into action.

A movie named "Star Wars" also had a nifty little tune attached to the opening and closing credits. This film made millions of dollars for George Lucas and his company. All of the characters had their own musical piece and this was really great for the actors. People could determine if Luke or Hans Solo was coming onto the screen from the fine tunes.

"Barbarella" was a 60's vixen who knew how to seduce men and women. She was on a desperate mission to locate a government agent who disappeared some years earlier. When she finally locates this strange male he tries his very best to torture her in every possible way.

This scientist was also an agent for the government and he wanted to destroy Barbarella in any way possible. The most interesting sounds happen when the strange male places this woman within a sex machine which sounds like a person moaning. The title song to this motion picture is also very interesting and easy to learn.
