World In Action (Main Theme) (1977)

Main theme of the “World In Action” TV serie of the late 70s presented by Granada UK TV.

Shawn Phillips wrote it on the spot, for John Shepphard, one of the producers for “World In Action”, at the time. The organ player was Mick Weaver, AKA Wynder K. Frog, and they were improvising.


Thanks to Fivestring for providing this gem.

I wrote this piece of music. Jonathan Weston, was in fact my manager at the time, but he had nothing to do with the creation of it. In fact, he stole the royalties from me. All 189,000 pounds British Sterling of it.

Just listen to the ‘Youtube’ video of World in action Jam version, would like to say that the music and lyric mix is inspired! Genius!
