Acclaimed film and TV composer Neal Hefti has died at age 85. Hefti was regarded as a top name in jazz, but it was his work in film that gained him the most fame. He composed the classic theme for the Batman TV show that perfectly captured the pop culture aspect of the series. Another of Hefti's most enduring themes was for the 1968 hit film version of The Odd Couple. The theme was also used in the 1970s TV series. Hefti's other film scores include Barefoot in the Park, Duel at Diablo and Harlow. For obituary plus music historian Jon Burlingame's interview comments with Hefti, click here
