Facenda was the voice but Sam Spence wrote the music....classic collaboration here:

Sorry posters....but when a person lives to be 98 years old, and dies, it is hard for me to generate any sympathy..I’m feel sure he was more than ready. He lived a good long life..
A lot of the younger generation got their first exposure to Spence’s music via SpongeBob Squarepants.
Awesome !!!!
I contend that American Football is or at least was, an expression of life.
The power and the glory.
Conservatives NEED a powerful narrator.
A poet that speaks directly to the hearts and minds of the American soul.
No B.S., no overt politics.
A powerful voice that can capture the attention of the masses on virtually any issue.
A voice that can cut through the noise and deliver the reality with such clarity that nobody would question.
John Facenda narrated a documentary about a ‘70’s tour of Journey. He did his usual good job. I wondered about how he got that gig but when I saw that it was done by NFL Films, it all came together. RIP Mr. Sabol. You did good.
With the Sabol's cinematography and editing, a new documentary form was created. A "perfect storm" of sorts.
Great video, with poetry and that terrific music, and I believe it ends with a picture of Pat Tillman?
