LOS ANGELES, March 7 (UPI) -- Emmy-nominated composer Robert Prince, who scored television series from the 1960s to the 1980s, died in Los Angeles after a brief illness at the age of 78.
After graduating from Julliard School, Prince became a producer, composer and arranger at Decca and Columbia Records, working on recordings for stars such as Johnny Mathis and Paul Desmond, Variety said.
When he moved to Los Angeles, he scored a number of films, including Francis Ford Coppola's "You're a Big Boy Now."
Prince's TV credits include "Mannix," "Ironside," "McCloud," "Night Gallery," "Mission: Impossible," "The Streets of San Francisco" and "Wonder Woman."
He also composed scores for several made-for-television movies, such as "A Cry in the Wilderness," "Where Have All the People Gone?" and "The Chinese Prime Minister."
Prince, who died Sunday, is survived by his wife, a daughter, a son, three grandchildren and a great-grandson.
