    Maybe Joseph Pujol ? Apart from playing his Ocarina through his Anus, he was principal Farteur at The Moulin Rouge (Le Pétomane). Here he is during his act. Thankfully, a silent movie.

    Sometimes it works (imo). Joni Mitchell revisited 'Both Sides Now'. The arrangements from 'Vince Mendoza' are outstanding. But then again, he is top draw.

    Any old excuse to start another Beatles are best bun fight.**

    Schubert for me, but closely followed by Ralph Vaughan Williams. Modern day, John Williams (the composer). his consistent quality of work over the years is amazing. 85 and still working!!

    Cool & Groovy. Master of Melody, Dave Grusin.

    Oh yes, Sanborn - No one else sounds like Sanborn.

    Seeing as it's now a TV theme free for all...We need Cagney & Lacey. Bill Conti at his best., with Ray Pizzi on Alto Sax, and Ernie Watts playing Tenor. Not sure who the lead Trumpet player is, but some lungs on him. Wonderful stuff.

    Don't check out dude, you always bring something musically different to the table. Sometimes delivered like a nuclear bomb, but always interesting. As it happens, I agree with you about the HG program (including the gaping whole regarding George Martin), so do a few of the posters on that YouTube thread, it seems. Carry on.

    Yeah I agree. I only went for the one band, but Dan are right up there for me as well. Another band full of great arrangements/harmonies/melodies and plenty of improvising. Also they have had some terrific players in their band and on the recordings.

    Barry Gray was terrific. The amount of quality TV music he delivered was quite something.

    I forgot about that Johnny Mathis tune. All the right ingredients I think. Not really upbeat Disco, but I just noticed that Johnny Mathis & Deniece Williams tune, 'Too Much, Too Little, Too Late'. Gorgeous tune.

    Dave Grusin wrote some great big band/Jazz themed tunes for TV in the late 60's and early 70's. YouTube 'Dave Grusin TV Themes', plenty of lovely arrangements and tunes from him.

    Yeah, it’s a pretty cool theme. Always makes an appearance when these type of threads pop up.

    Funny enough I was reading about this the other day. How they sampled the notes (Along with the FX), and how everything was then played on a keyboard. EDIT: Here you go.Interesting little read. https://noisey.vice.com/en_us/article/689n7a/how-seinfelds-theme-song-was-created

    Full version (Second series version). I think this is Carole Kaye on Bass.

    This is the closing credits theme. Just a longer version of the opening titles.

    Crossed my mind as well, but in my case all but two. Edit: I can’t count seems there are five and not four, plus I didn’t enter. Voted. Well done all.

    Yeah, 7/4 and co written by the wonderful Bassist, Andy Pask.

    Added a couple to the list.

    Tower of Power - Back to Oakland. I was Seventeen when it was released & have had a fondness for them ever since. Blew my mind when I first heard them. Lush arrangements with close, detailed harmony in the Horn section, top playing all round with plenty of improvising.

    Clem Cattini was there as well. Actually, he often gets overlooked in the Rock world. Played on over a hundred singles/forty three number ones?. One of the few Drummers at the time who could easily switch between straight 8's & swing 8's. (also one of the early Hi Hat adopters as well). He was a regular at Abbey Road and EMI before the Beatles were making a big name for themselves.

    There you go, Blue. A great point. Many, many Beatles tunes have been covered by plenty of other artists.

    Very true. Like The Beatles, YouTube Clickbating is here to stay. When we are all playing Virtual Bowls, at least we can say “We were there”.
