Jack Marshall (November 23, 1921 – September 20, 1973) was an American guitarist, conductor, and composer. He is the father of producer-director Frank Marshall and composer Phil Marshall. Born in El Dorado, Kansas, Marshall was one of Capitol Records' top producers in the late 1950s and 1960s. He also released a number of albums under his own name that featured his own finger-style jazz guitar playing. He was a close friend of Howard Roberts and Jack Sheldon, and produced several of their best albums on Capitol. He wrote his own arrangements, many of which had a big-band, jazzy sound to them. His most popular arrangement was for Peggy Lee's "Fever", using only percussion, bass and finger snaps, which won him several awards. Marshall is perhaps best known for composing the theme and incidental music for the 1960s TV series ''The Munsters''. (The theme music was nominated for a Grammy Award in 1965.) He also composed music for the movies ''The Missouri Traveler'', ''Thunder Road'' and ''The Deputy'', a western television series starring Henry Fonda, ''The Investigators'' and ''The Debbie Reynolds Show''. His interment was at Forest Lawn Hollywood Hills Cemetery.
