Laurie Johnson is perhaps best known internationally for his title theme for the Diana Rigg/Linda Thorson seasons of #The Avengers. He has also worked on dozens of feature films, including Stanley Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove, J. Lee Thompson's Tiger Bay, Ray Harryhausen's The First Men in the Moon, and Brian Clemens' Captain Kronos: Vampire Hunter. Additionally, in England he has been a recording artist specializing in instrumental pop music since the mid-'50s, and is one of the most highly regarded arrangers of big-band swing and pop music.
Educated at the Royal College of Music (where he later taught), he also began his career as an arranger and composer at age 19, working for Ted Heath and later with such bandleaders as Jack Parnell and Ambrose.
