Frank De Vol (20 September 1911 – 27 October 1999) was an American arranger and composer was nominated for four Academy Awards. De Vol is remembered for his television theme tunes, like Family Affair, My Three Sons, and The Brady Bunch. He did some work as an actor.
Wait?! You Wrote THAT!
Composers and arrangers
In studio conditions
Must face a fact of life with equanimity:
Though people are not strangers
To your work or compositions,
You’ll soldier on in quiet anonymity.

De Vol, De Vol, It’s Off to Work We Go
Frank De Vol wrote catchy themes
Which everyone can sing, it seems.
So, it’s more than just a hunch
That you can sing “The Brady Bunch.”
Did he think that day before he
Wrote those notes for “Here’s the story,”
That they’d live in campy glory?
