Samuel Lloyd Spence (March 29, 1927 – February 6, 2016) was an American soundtrack composer renowned for his contributions to film and television music. In the early 1970s, he lived as an expatriate among a community of German rock musicians. Spence studied "serious music" composition at a notable institution, where he learned from esteemed composers. He eventually settled in Europe, moving to Germany to collaborate with symphony orchestras to develop music for film and television. Balancing his classical composition background, he utilized his Hollywood experience to score German television commissions, creating numerous groovy symphonic scores infused with electronic elements. By the late 1970s, through a long-term contract composing motivational music for the National Football League, Spence amassed enough resources to acquire one of the finest Moog synthesizers, which he brought to Germany.
