Composer Charles Fox's Home Burglarized
According to the police report filed by LAPD officers Martinez and Waymire (Division 10A39), on June 2, 2012, the studio of Grammy and Emmy winning composer, Charles Fox, was burglarized between the hours of 8:00pm and 10:00pm.
"The thieves entered my studio and took several computers as well as gold records from the walls that, obviously, have a lot of personal memories for me," Fox says. "But along with those items, they took my sense of security for my family in my own home."
In addition to the computers and equipment stolen from the studio were two Gold Records for "Ready To Take a Chance Again" with Barry Manilow and the recording that has become Mr. Fox's theme song and title of his recently released memoirs by the same title, "Killing Me Softly With His Song" sung by Roberta Flack.
The burglary occurred just as one of Mr Fox's records (the only copy of the 45 single for "Happy Days," used in the opening credits of the hit series by the same title), was inducted into the Smithsonian Institutes first permanent Entertainment History Exhibit, along side Fonzie's leather jacket, worn by friend, Henry Winkler.
Fox has composed many of television's most recognized theme songs, including "The Love Boat," "Laverne & Shirley," "Wonder Woman," "Love, American Style," "Wide World of Sports" and "Monday Night Football." Mr. Fox says, "I've had great support from industry friends and have even heard from others about colleagues such as Carol Channing and Julie Newmar, who also experienced similar violations and successfully retrieved their stolen goods through the support of fans and awareness raised by the media."
