Jeffrey "Jeff" Wayne (born July 1, 1943, in Forest Hills, Queens, New York) is an American composer with a penchant for tennis and [[Rock Opera]]s. He wrote several advertising jingles in the 1970s which appeared on television in the United Kingdom, notably a Gordon's Gin commercial which was then covered by ''The Human League''. Other well-known themes he wrote include Good Morning Britain (TV-am) and London's LBC radio. However, his most famous work by far is his 1978 musical version of H. G. Wells' ''[[The War of the Worlds]]'', which won two Ivor Novello awards and Best Recording in Science Fiction and Fantasy (which might be an [[Overly Narrow Superlative]] but what the hey, it's still [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]).
