Impact is an LP of twelve musical themes from popular television programs of the late 1950s performed by the Buddy Morrow Orchestra.
In the face of the increasing popularity of theme music for television programs, coupled with advances in hi-fi and stereo home audio equipment, RCA Victor released Buddy Morrow's Impact in June 1959. The tracks were arranged by Ray Martin, famed British composer, producer and arranger, who had moved to the U.S. two years earlier. The album was recorded at Webster Hall in New York City. The recording engineer was Bob Simpson.[1]
The liner notes to Impact say its concept is "to project the new sound in music which underscores today's action-packed, top-rated TV shows," characterizing the music as not only "brassy and succinct," but also "highly dramatic and exciting," taken from programs "replete with agitated adventure, conflict, the clash of good-men with bad-men."[1]
