"Music From NFL Films, Vol. 1" (1970) is the debut collection of instrumental music written by American composer Sam Spence specifically for National Football League (NFL) documentaries and game highlights. This music shaped the sonic identity of American football on television. On original vinyl releases from the 1970s, the artist was often credited as the Elliot Blair Orchestra.
In the mid-1960s, producer Ed Sabol, founder of NFL Films, decided to change the approach to sports broadcasts, transforming them into epic cinema. This required a unique music score. Sam Spence, then working in Munich, created a completely new standard for sports soundtracks. Instead of simple military marches, he combined the power of a classic Hollywood orchestra with the contemporary rhythms of jazz, funk, and rock.
