One of Britain's most respected composers and band leaders has passed at the age of 96.

Lauire Johnson was a native of north London who wrote a multitude of tv theme songs and scores for numerous British television programs

Without doubt his most famous composition is the theme to the hit series The Avengers, a show & theme song that I loved when it first aired in the 1960's right through to today. A stirring television theme song with no lyrics but plenty of instrumental punch.

Rest in peace Mr. Johnson
