    I am Iranian, and I used to watch this TV series during my high school days in Iran, and every time I see it, I remember the past again.

      So it must have been at the time of the Sha. This TV series owes a lot of its creation to France and the SHA of Iran was a friend of France until a French government betrayed it by welcoming the madman Khomeini who did so much harm to his great country that is Iran.

What do you think about Miami Vice? I love it, especially the music and Don Johnson´s hair :), but it was a good series, together Don Johnson and Phillip Michael Thomas were so good and so cool :) ! But Don Johnson wasn´t very good in movies, and his movies were....what can I say? They weren´t good, Manuscripts were miserable. And then Nick Nolte and Eddie Murphy - 48 hours. I love Nick Nolte, he is one of my favorite actors :) !!! And Mel Gibson and Danny Glover in their series...what was the name in English? Do you know and do you like these pairs :??

    John Barry, my word that man had everything. Brilliant at film scores, tv themes and songwriting. His Somewhere in Time theme was used in parallel with Rachmaninov’s Rhapsody on a theme of Paganini and was as good, if not even better.

    Eind ‘71 en ‘72 kijken op zaterdag naar BRT. Zondags werd de reeks op Nederland gespeeld. Werd veel bekeken. Was ook een top reeks destijds. En dan deze mooie muziek erbij. Was 13 jaar oud maar kan mij er nog veel van herinneren. Mijn moeder had het singeltje gekocht, en speelde het grijs.

    This is one of the best shows I've ever watched, and definitely one of the best themes I've ever heard. Every time I hear it, it literally stirs my blood, lol. As I watched this video, I was saying to myself that the video was playing too slowly for the music...I didn't know that this was the French(?) version, and didn't expect the music to start playing from the beginning again and then end that way. Fascinating.

  • @rmartin1146
    @rmartin1146 11 років тому +5

    I love all sorts of music and many themes stick in mind but not many have the magic, the creepiness, the mistery, the magic, the eastern block feel of this wonderful piece by our beloved composer John Barry. I shall never forget it as long as I live and have not as yet and it was on tv back in the 70s around 40 years ago and I need no prompt to play it back in my head. When you play this with good base and the volume raised a bit it's so rich and delicious when that base line of longer notes comes in as the solid backing. Real magic from a music magician of whom I am so proud was of our Island nation. The world loves music and 'I love yours, John'. The inimitable John Barry, may God bless him. When was a gift, ever more sadly lost than when the world loses a musician / composer. Burt Bacharach and Queen's Freddie Mercury were other great losses, the world's Michael Jackson too and when Elton John and Bernie Taubin are a news item, or our wonderful George Michael, or Barry Gibb of the Bee Gees, I'll cry like a baby as they are all iconic to an era we all shared, and musically it was a 'damned fine' era too, maybe the best. There will always be some good ones I hope, but they don't make them like this any more.

Roger Moore was my favorite actor, I meet him in 1996 when he came to Winnipeg has ambassador to UNICEF. he gave a speech which I video taped and he sent me a signed photo of himself to me. I loved the Saints series. Yes the 70’s best years of my life.
