Face the Music is an American television game show that aired daily in syndication from January 14, 1980, to September 1981.

The show was hosted by actor Ron Ely, with Dave Williams as announcer for the first season and John Harlan for the second with Art James as a substitute.

The band played a song, and the first contestant to buzz-in, give its title, and identify the face associated with it scored 10 points.

In the Championship Game, the reigning champion and the surviving contestant competed to identify a famous person using song titles and a series of six photographs of him/her from infancy through adulthood.

Beginning in the second season, the contestants were told on the gender of the famous person before the first picture was revealed.

Originally, champions won a prize package totaling that amount, but after two weeks this was changed to offering $10,000 in cash.

If the subject was not guessed on the first try, play continued and the contestant who eventually gave the correct answer to win the game would receive a prize package.

If neither contestant was able to identify the subject after all six photographs had been revealed, the tiebreaker from games 2 and 3 was played to determine the champion.

[5][6] Face the Music featured band members who also appeared on another show by Sandy Frank Productions, Name That Tune.

The band members included pianist Michel Rubini, drummer Evan Diner, guitarists Tommy Tedesco and brothers Tom and John Morell, sax player Fred Selden, bass player Lyle Ritz, and trombonists Lew McCreary and Gil Falco.
