For everyone who’s interested in the music of Jerry Fielding I made a new website for this brilliant composer. It may be a bit simple but it contains a lot of info about his work and career.

It's a good start, musicwizard! Hopefully, you get to make it look a tad more professional and sleak eventually. The important thing is to get a Fielding website out there. I'm not aware of any that previously existed.

Yes Thor I agree with you, this site won’t win any prizes for it’s design but it’s the best I can do.
I have zero knowlegde about webdesign (I’m just a musician ;-). This is just one of those sites were everything is “prefab” so even people like me can build a website!

But like you said there wasn’t a website dedicated to this great composer (for some odd reason) so I made it myself. Maybe someone else can make a better one. I’m the first to support that!
But everyone who wants to know more about Jerry Fielding finally has a place to do some research now.

All episodes of Madigan" were scored by Dick DeBenedictis. I know this because I verified it via loads of the episodes on Youtube (now deleted).

Not credited on any episode of "Barnaby Jones".

Did you check ASCAP, too?

"Me and the Chimp" is correct. Again, now deleted Youtube loads of episodes (well, there are two episodes up, but one has the end credits cut off, and the other is an episode he didn't do).

BMI and ASCAP don't make note of tracked music, so just because a composer is listed for something, doesn't necessarily means it' original material.


Did you look over this?

Thanks Justin for all the info.
I already had a hard time believing he scored an episode of “Madison” and “Barnaby Jones”.
Will change that on the website soon.
You mean he really scored nine episodes of “Me and the Chimp”? Oh my God, why? The most terrible show in TV history. Maybe he did this one for Alan Rafkin.

Yeah I checked ASCAP, BMI and the papers at BYU of course. A great help but sometimes it raises more questions instead of given some answers.
The papers at BYU contain scores for the 1966 TV series Tarzan. It’s announced in Billboard and I even know that he recorded the music in studio A at United. But then only Walter Green gets credits on the show (!?). I even asked Jon Burlingame and he couldn’t give me an answer what had happened.

Thanks for doing this JF site looks fine, I wasn't aware of all Fielding's biography I'm also a little bemused maybe blind too his collaborating with lyrical artists or if there's solely instrumentals too them. This site helps me out a lot too discover maybe buy some early pieces. power-too-you, Cheers.

Fantastic job! Fielding deserves a website. Apologizes for the appearance are completely unnecessary. The content is the thing. I read every word and learned a lot, especially about his blacklisted years. I look forward to more. A thought occurred to me: Was Fielding approached to score Martin Ritt's The Front? With the writer, director, and Mostel all being blacklisted--perhaps others on the film, as well--Fielding would have been a great choice.

The 25 February 1976 Daily Variety announced that Jerry Fielding would provide the musical score for 1977's SPECIAL DELIVERY, but he was later replaced by Lalo Schifrin.

Thanks very much for the info Bob! I didn't know that. Probably had to drop out because of his heart conditions at the time.

[SPECIAL DELIVERY was] 1976, according to IMDb.


It didn't open in NYC or LA until January 1977, but probably opened elsewhere in 1976. The IMDB says July 1976, but it doesn't give a location. I'll see if I can find one.

This is a lot of work and I really appreciate that you put in the time to do this! If you do want help exploring ways to improve some of the design/layout-related aspects of the site perhaps we can pull some volunteers together here to assist. But otherwise it’s nice to have a cleanly-organized list of all his works for the various mediums he composed for. The displaying of multiple screenshots of the different CD releases for his soundtracks is REALLY helpful. “SoundtrackCollector” is usually my go-to for that, but they get overwhelming with all the different international versions of the same release. This version of yours is very clear and easy to understand!

It’s also helpful because I had recently become enamoured with Fielding’s music for THE OUTLAW JOSEY WALES, so it’s really useful for a quick comparison of all the different releases smile

Thnx Jurassic! Yes indeed it took me some time (years actually) to gather all this information. Also with the help from some other people. But it's nice to see that it's helpfull for people and they get to know more about Fielding this way. Sorry for the layout / design, webdesign is not my strongest point.
Anyhow, next year time for the big Fielding celebration (1922-2022). Hopefully with a 2cd set of the complete score from "The Outlaw Josey Wales" on his birthday. Labels you've got 8 months left! ;-)

Absolutely! Looking forward to getting some time to explore your site. A labour of love, without a doubt.
