GOODBYE, ROBERT (BOB) COBERT...


You injected haunting moods into Dan Curtis' "Dark Shadows" (the classic serial, movies and remake series), plucking lush, melancholic chords that once heard, never left our collective consciousness.


Your distinct compositions gave great flavor as well to other Dan Curtis productions: "The Night Stalker"; "The Night Strangler"; "Kolchak: the Night Stalker"; "Trilogy of Terror"; "Trilogy of Terror II"; "Dead of Night '77"; "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde '68"; "Dracula '73"; "Frankenstein '73"; "The Picture of Dorian Gray '73"; "The Turn of the Screw" '74"; "The Norliss Tapes"; "Burnt Offerings"; "Scream of the Wolf"; "The Winds of War"; "War and Remembrance"; "Melvin Purvis, G-Man"; "The Kansas City Massacre"; "Me and the Kid"; and "The Last Ride of the Dalton Gang".


And let's not forget those darn, catchy tunes you wrote for "The Price is Right", "To Tell the Truth" and "The $25,000 Pyramid". 


You influenced our ears on so many levels, Mr. Cobert, and without your orchestrations, our lives would be nowhere near as expressive, let alone melodious.
