The new theme for the final season was written by Bob Thompson. On the Top Themes of 1964 album (which I also have on vinyl) the composition is incorrectly credited to Livingston-David who wrote the original theme. It was unfortunate that the final season of "77 Sunset Strip" did not find its audience. The blame was put on Jack Webb for changing the program so drastically in that season but I feel that he is only partly to blame since the shows themselves were well written and expensively produced. I put more blame on ABC for moving the program from its familiar Friday 9:00 or 9:30 pm time period to the early time of 7:30 pm. "77" was too adult for that early of a time slot.
