John Scott (1930-), is an English film composer and music conductor. Scott toured and recorded with some of the best-known British bands of the 1960s. Playing flute, he led a jazz quintet, quartet, and trio during the same era. He played for Henry Mancini and was a principal saxophonist in John Barry's soundtrack to the James Bond film Goldfinger. Since then, Scott has composed more than 100 film and television productions.
His theme for the 1978 ITC Entertainment series, Return of The Saint, was the last of the action/adventure television series produced by ITC. It was broadcast in the US late-night Fridays on CBS. The theme is a contemporary, rousing, upbeat orchestral composition with an interesting melody. The 24-episode series starred Ian Ogilvy as Simon Templar, the independently wealthy, somewhat mysterious man of action.
