From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Robert Cobert (October 26, 1924-) is a composer who has written extensively for television and movies. He is best known for his Emmy-nominated work for the TV mini-series "Winds of War" and "War and Remembrance." Together, the film score for these two movies constitute the longest film score ever written for a movie. Cobert is also known for his early work as the composer for the cult soap opera Dark Shadows.

Aside from his most notable work, Cobert also composed many game show themes with most being associated with shows produced by Goodson-Todman Productions and Bob Stewart Productions. His most notable themes in that genre include the original themes for To Tell The Truth and Password, Blockbusters, The $25,000 Pyramid (1982 update) and Chain Reaction (itself a remake of the theme from Supertrain).
