It is the music specially written for the classic film (with Steve McQueen) by Lalo Schifrin - who wrote loads of great soundtracks for film and TV.

The electric bass line on the theme was played by Carole Kaye - her trademark muted pick sound. Ron Carter also played on the sound track which has some great Jazz musicians.
