TV Themes

[engelbach]

Here are some of my favorite TV themes. They show my age.

All are from TV series, except Brian's Song, which was a made-for-TV movie.

The Naked City theme was the original one composed by Billy May. Later the show changed to what was to me a less interesting theme by Nelson Riddle.

All of them lend themselves to a jazz treatment.

TV Themes (7)

Individual songs:
Baretta (Keep Your Eye on the Sparrow) - Dave Grusin
Brian's Song (The Hands of Time) - Henry Mancini
I Love Lucy - Eliot Daniel
Medic (Blue Star) - Victor Young
Odd Couple-Rev JE, The - Neal Hefti
Route 66 TV Series - Nelson Riddle
Naked City (Original Theme) - Billy May

Cheers,
Jer

Good ones, Bob. Mostly after my time ...

Problem is, I don't know the melodies to any of them.
