'''Robert Cobert''' (October 26, 1924 – February 19, 2020) was an American composer who worked in television and films. He is best known for his work with producer/director [[Dan Curtis]], notably the scores for the massively popular, now-cult 1966–71 [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]]-TV [[gothic fiction]] soap opera ''[[Dark Shadows]]'' and the TV mini-series ''[[The Winds of War (miniseries)|The Winds of War]]'' (1983) and its sequel ''[[War and Remembrance (miniseries)|War and Remembrance]]'' (1988), for which he received an [[Emmy Awards]] nomination.
