I totally agree, sometimes a drawback for a show that cannot deliver the excitement that the theme suggests. Not Streets though, although not exciting by modern standards it had main characters with integrity and they felt real which helped build tension, making the resolution ( although there was not always a resolution ) seem more grounded. And a social conscience ( it can't be overstated how important that was in US media in the 60s and 70s and how it influenced young people prior to the me me me Randian 80s )
Superb isn't it? The Dan August theme conjours up the same feeling for me. A period of great themes, Cannon, Mannix and Ironside were some other tv faves of mine. In the UK our TV police dramas were a bit mild by comparison but we did have the double hard Sweeny with a fantastic theme. British comedy themes were of really high standard back then eg Monty Python's Flying Circus, The Goodies, Steptoe and Son, Rising Damp, The Two Ronnie's, Morecambe and Wise, Dave Allen at Large and many more. One of the cleverest was Porridge in which the title sequence was without music and was a dialogue of a judge sentencing the main character Fletcher to a prison term but with a fab credit sequence theme.
@@urbanbader4113 Loved the theme music from some of my favorite cop TV series as a kid like The Man From U.N.C.L.E., The Name of The Game, Ironside, Starsky & Hutch, Cannon, Hawaii Five-O, Mannix, Mission:Impossible and so many more.
Ditto and it is. Own th3 whol3 s3ri3s on DVD and b33n a fan ala r3 runs sinc3 I was 8 y3ars old in Fall 1982 and watch3d until July 30, 1991 until I mov3d to Missoula and sadly th3y n3v3r air3d r3 runs of it.
Nicely put together. For the record, there is an extended version of this theme with jazzy breaks in it - years ago I had it on a compilation album called 'Funky Soundtracks Pt.1' but I stupidly sold it on eBay. I've not heard it since and it doesn't appear to be on UA-cam although there is a live cover by Bob Moreno's band which is clearly based on that version. If anyone has it, please put it up, I'd love to hear it again!
If I had to pick just one TV theme as *Numero Uno,* it would be Maestro Williams' masterpiece, choosing the best video on UA-cam is even easier: It's this one! Excellent job, thank you!
Siendo niño enloquecía cuando escuchaba esta canción y mis padres esperaban que la escuchara y de ahí a mi cama a dormir.Era como mi canción de cuna. Con los años hasta hoy me hice fanático del Funk,Jazz Funk y del Jazz Bebop entre otros rítmos musicales.
Te entiendo absolutamente amigo.... a mi me pasaba lo mismo. Esa música era realmente alucinante para mis oídos de niño. Con el tiempo me di cuenta que la serie en sí era muy buena.... una de muchas series policiales extraordinarias que daban en TV por finales de los 70 y principios de los 80. Saludos desde Chile
@@hugoswan7400Malden was particularly fine in this show, a decent man with decades of experience and a good handle on how to deal with the social malaise of his time. As much as I loved Clint Eastwood's Dirty Harry movies, I'd rather be a jaded old Mike than the borderline loony with the ever unholstered Magnum. Douglas brought his own college intelligence to the mix and I think they complimented each other really well, which made an effective team.
The truly great thing about these shows is that they were an hour long and in that time you have to tell a story with the beginning a middle and a satisfying end and they were able to do it perfectly there was not a second a film wasted not like nowadays where you have Netflix shows that have a fantastic beginning but no middle and no end
Vibrant city with no homeless or crack heads living on the street. Businesses aren’t closed up and people can drive their cars downtown. I’m not sure current direction of government is heading in the right direction. Plate C
O when o when are the BBC going to do the right thing And put it on the telly? And Cagney and Lasey . And the Rockford file's. And chips. And Frank cannon. And bannacheck and Anthony petrachely with Barry Newman in it. 😊
WHO are the Cats playin in on this!!! my dad woke me up back in the early 70's to watch at least the intro Theme hahaha no seriously , we try figure out who is playin'
Among others, for the original session: Bud Shank, Jerome Richardson and Tom Scott - Saxophone, Pete Candoli and Buddy Childers - Trumpet, Dick Nash - Trombone, Larry Carlton - Electric Guitar, John Guerin - Drums
Born and raised in the Bay Area just after this one started. Northern California was such a cool place back then. But they've got that bad habit of voting Democrat.
This is when tv had real theme music!
Still groovin' on this awesome theme music by Patrick Williams in 2023.

Didn't need a "Skip intro" button in those days.
I never get tired of hearing this awesome theme by Pat Williams.
Great memories from my. childhood
This was the only show my Dad watched and he always let me stay up and watch it with him. Watching them again as an adult is pure joy.
My god.. this is sooooo good. I remember being a kid and getting to stay up late. 😪
Brilliant Theme Song performed by a Professional Big Band.

Two good British funk themes by Laurie Johnson were The Professionals and The New Avengers
I was 8-10 yo in Italy and every Sunday i watched this telefilm. This song is awesome
Warms my heart every time…
Best Theme ever......
Oh the memories of being a small kid and living through a television!!
70's time I'm 1964

I started working out to this theme song, but I've been hooked on this show ever since. Have all 5 seasons on USB drive.

La musica pertenece a Pat Williams, no a Patrick Williams, tienes un error
