From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eric Spear (1908 – 3 November 1966) was an English composer of film music.
Spear is best known for composing the original theme tune for the UK's longest running soap opera, Coronation Street. The highly recognisable theme tune has only been slightly modified since the show began in 1960.

Eric Spear was paid the sum of £6 for his services to the recording of the signature tune. If he had accepted royalties he would have been a very rich man.
