Composer
Eric Spear (1908-1966)
Eric Spear (Born in Croydon, 18 April 1908 – Died, Southampton, 3 November 1966) was an English composer of film music.
Spear is best known for composing the original theme tune for the UK's longest-running television soap opera, Coronation Street, for which he was paid £6. The cornet player Ronnie Hunt found the recording session frustrating, as Spear insisted on many takes before obtaining the sound that he wanted. For most of the programme's 50 year run since 1960, the theme tune has only been modified by converting it to stereo.[1]
