Jack Grimsley (18 October 1925 – 8 June 2015) is responsible for some of the most recognisable Australian music of the 1960s and '70s, composing, producing and performing countless advertising jingles and TV theme music for shows like Sale of the Century, The Mike Walsh Show and this opening theme for The Better Sex game show. He also wrote a range of other incidental music for the program, including 'Contestant Walk-On', 'Winner Fanfare' and 'Spare Track: Electric Piano and Rhythm'. The Better Sex TV game show was produced by Reg Grundy Organisation and broadcast in Australia in 1978 on the Nine Network, hosted by Mike Preston and Ann Sidney. The show was based on a US program, where men competed against women in a 'battle of the sexes' format. He also had a long career outside of television, as a jazz and swing band musician, a session musician, and as a composer for advertisements, particularly for radio.
