Jim and Larry, in 1999 I purchased a Collectables two-albums-on-one-CD of Pete Rugolo, named after the two albums: Introducing Pete Rugolo/Adventures in Rhythm. COL-5893 (SONY #A-28821)

The liner notes say that the first album was recorded in 1954. All but two of the 24 tracks are less than 3:10, so I can imagine some 78s being issued.

The second track of the first album is entitled Early Stan, written by Rugolo. I can't say whether the Stan was Kenton or Getz.

I didn't know that Rugolo wrote the theme to Leave It to Beaver, but I do recall (if I'm not mistaken) that he did the music for Run For Your Life, the Ben Gazzara show. "I'm dying, Alex!!!!!"

Pete also did the music for the detective show Richard Diamond. Was the star of that show Dick Powell? I dont remember for sure.

Bill, Dick Powell was the star of the radio Richard Diamond. That show was created by Blake Edwards, and featured a PI who got along with the cops (contrary to the standard radio PI). Edwards didn't like how the TV Richard Diamond was done, so he created Peter Gunn using the same ideas.

The TV Richard Diamond starred the guy who was The Fugitive, David Jansen, wasn't that his name? Dick Powell I think owned the TV show. Mary Tyler Moore was the receptionist Sam, whose legs were shown as she spoke.
