Out of respect for Gerald Fried, Roy and I didn’t sing the “Star Trek” fight music – but you know we were thinking it.

Fried was our guest last night on Roy’s Tie-Dye Sci-Fi Corner. Click the video for recollections and insights from this screen legend.

Fried is the composer of over 200 film and television scores, including those for Kubrick, “Star Trek,” and producer David L. Wolper. His collaborations with Wolper include the film “Birds Do It, Bees Do It” (which earned Fried an Academy Award nomination) and the landmark miniseries “Roots” (which won him an Emmy).

Did I mention, Fried will be 93 on February 13? His most recent film, “Unbelievable!!!!,” received its online debut only months ago. In his spare time, he says, he’s now also writing screenplays. We are grateful to him for taking the time to share his fascinating reminiscences. Thank you, Gerald Fried!
