I've been going through Theme songs from when I was a kid. I don't know why I torture myself this way. Parents and Sister, Passed away, all who'd I watch these shows with in our Living Room gone. Robert Blake Passed...My Mother Loved Robert Blake...smile.
Hi. I'm not just saying this..., I understand you. Listening to these tunes... Baretta, Taxi, Kojak, Starsky and Hutch, Banacek, Hill Street Blues, and for the UK.., Tales Of The Unexpected, The Two Ronnie's, Rising Damp, Butterfly's, and too many more to remember. I think it brings us the comfort and stability of our childhood when all was good and easy. Family was all present, alive and in one warm full house. I too listen to these tunes once in a while and the emotions flow. You're not the only one.
THIS THEME (along with a few others ) .... is stuck in my head FOREVERMORE!!!! And i'm glad and happy to have been born where and when i was. I miss 1970's/80's TV.
Tv theme songs of the 70's and 80's were the best. Beretta was a very good cop show. My older brother especially liked this show. Gawd i miss 70's tv.😢
I'm at it again! Sammy dave grusin and the band did this one to death! I love these 70s tv themes. I grew up on these shows and never get tired of the creativity
As a kid, I loved watching Baretta...I thought he was not only cool but also very funny. The theme song was the icing on the cake... with the Amazing Sammy Davis Jr.
Robert Blake also played the role of "Mickey" as a child in the Little Rascals. Both Blake and Davis Jr. had just one 👁️ and one 🧬 and one🕐 and one ❤ passion.
S.I.P. MR. SAMMY DAVIS JR. & ROBERT BLAKE, DAVE GUSTIN THANK YOU FOR THE GOOD TIMES AND GOOD MUSIC BECAUSE IDK WTF GOIN ON WITH THIS AGE OF MUSIC NOWADAYS. HOTEP 👑 💪🏿 💯 🙌🏿
A-Plus montage. Fantastic memories of watching Baretta back in the 70s. Looking at his different costumes I have to say he reminds me a little of Frank Serpico. Wonder if that was an influence on the show...
@@TV-yp1xp Yes. I was about to make a comment about how when I was a kid me and my sister liked the show Toma. Then when we were watching Baretta for the first time we were like "This is like Toma!" I looked it up and discovered the same thing that you said, that Baretta was a re-tool of Toma. The funny thing is when I was reading about Toma I was confused because I thought there was also a movie that inspired the Toma tv show. I've been trying figure out what movie I was thinking of. I'm glad I saw these comments because it was Serpico that I couldn't recall.
Love this version of the song and wished it was available like this on Spotify. Shows like this actually made me want to be a cop and wanting to help and Robert Blake's portrayal of someone who really wanted to make a difference and cared for the down and out and basically common man and woman now matter race or gender. Thanks for bringing back some memories. I do wish they would release all the seasons of the show on DVD and Blue-Ray.
YEAH! COLUMBU,KOJAK, BARETTA,BARNABI JONES. TODAY THE THEME LAW&ORDER REMIND ME THE YEARS SEVENTH!WONDERFUL TIME,MOVIES,SONGS! WALTONS, MARY TYLER MOORE, I'M FROM BRAZIL BUT YOU ARE ALL HUMAN BE AND THE SOUL FEELINGS ARE THE SAME.
Kris Kross brought me here when they sampled this on their single "I Missed the Bus" from their debut album Totally Krossed Out on Ruffhouse Records/Columbia Records in '92.
The original show was named “Toma “. When the original actor quit they brought in Blake. I guess that he suggested that they do a totally different show. Blake was the original choice to play the lead in “The Rockford files”. Most people don’t know that the show was actually set in New Jersey.
I loved this show as a kid. IIRC, It was meant to replace Toma, which was a bit similar. I loved that too. I hope to see a dvd/BR release one day. Thanks for sharing this!
First season was great. I felt they were taking us seriously. Then in the second season, as usual, the famous lack of social courage by executives kicked in.
Years ago I saw a doc, that insinuated that the star of this show was involved in a murder. I don't recall that much and the details are vague. Does anyone know anything about this? I'm not saying it's true, I can hardly remember it. I never watched this show much as a kid, however, I saw the guy in"In Cold Blood", that was quite a movie based on the Truman Capote book. I remember being blown away by that. Very hard hitting.

When shows actually had opening songs.
Mi serie favorita allá x los 80s tenía 9 años 🎉

The show was a re-tool of "Toma", starring Tony Musante, which was cancelled one year prior, because Musante decided to quit the series.

Love 70s cars. They came from Detroit pre-rusted.
You could hit a wall at 50 and the car would start and run. You might be a bit the worse for wear, but the car...
Labash sent me 😁
I want to go back, please somebody help!🤩🥺🤩
A traditional Gospel tune.

His car looked so old and beat up but it was only a few years old at the time. Same with Hutch's car on Starsky and Hutch.
But Starsky had that red tomato.
Una de las buenas series policiales de la televisión chilena en blanco y negro, recuerdos de juventud...
A mediados de los 70 en UCV TV CANAL 4 VALPARAISO, lo malo que no hay videos de esta serie.
Magnifica...!
THE. BIRD S NAME WAS FRED
That's strange I didn't hear about Fred's passing, they live such a long time. Are you sure he's dead 🤔

I don't think anyone can wear that particular hat better than robert Blake. It's almost like that hat was invented just for him.
First season was great. I felt they were taking us seriously. Then in the second season, as usual, the famous lack of social courage by executives kicked in.
They weren't taking good care of him. He said they treated him like a product.
@@HappyQuailsLC That doesn't seem to be related to my original post, but it doesn't surprise me if this too was the case.
Gran serie de mis tiempos...recuerdo de su cacatua..y le hablaba como una persona...brillante Roberth Blake y Sammy Davis Jr...Q.E.P.D.
And RIP OJ Simpson 😢
Genial baretta....😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Classic!
Little Rascals!
What a great theme RIP Sparrow
Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.
Listen to What Sammy is Telling You

I loved Baretta when I was a kid as well as the Rockford Files. I am a lifelong fan of Dave Grusin.
Keep your eye on the sparrow.
❤Uy.......te acordás...??.

Robert BLAKE RIP NUTLEY NJ NATIVE 😊😅
Heard. David Toma speak. Way back
This guy looks like he could've played Wolverine
Trumps new theme song "don't do the crime if you can't do the time" 😅
Sammy did not sing this a lot in concert. Don’t know why.
Here's one for you. What was the nickname of his car?
Was it The Silver Ghost?
@@moemadge Close! The Grey Ghost 👻

What was that birds name
The bird's name was Fred.
His pimp buddy's name was Rooster.
Was it Fred?
