Original 'Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers' Composer Ron Wasserman Returns For 30th Anniversary Special 'Once And Always'
All is good and so we're told
The legendary composer Ron Wasserman is returning to Power Rangers, having been the show’s composer since the earliest days, for the first time since 2005. He will be composing the show’s 30th anniversary special, Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers: Once and Always.
He confirmed this himself, posting on Rangerboard’s thread about the show’s current era under Hasbro, who has owned the franchise since 2018. He simply urged to search IMDb, coming in when the discussion at hand was Ranger utilization. He seemingly updated it by his own hands. Wasserman was the composer for Power Rangers’s first six seasons, from Mighty Morphin’ to In Space, not only providing the iconic theme song(s) but all that lyrical fight music that no successor quite carried through to that volume of work. At the time, he was working on other Saban productions from the time like X-Men (including that iconic theme song), VR Troopers, and Sweet Valley High. He would return to the show to do the theme song for the thirteenth season, S.P.D. by which point the franchise was owned by Disney.
After his Saban era, Wasserman had a DIC period in the mid-2000s when it programmed CBS’s Saturday morning block, a TV Land period back when it had original programming, doing shows such as Hot in Cleveland and The Soul Man, and even a Nickelodeon period during the time that Power Rangers aired on the network, composing Bella and the Bulldogs and The Thundermans. While some Mighty Morphin’ Rangers had returned from time to time over the past 25 years, some are returning for the first time with this special, as are Richard Horvitz and Barbara Goodson, a first as no original-era Saban voice actors had returned to the TV series since production moved to New Zealand over 20 years ago. It really feels as if Hasbro is pulling out all the stops and making the impossible happen.
