Hey zooba, not to rain on your parade/stick a pin in your balloon/be a party pooper/act like a killjoy/[submit your favorite equivalent], but I've always considered TV movie music from the 70s absolutely HORRID. With a few exceptions like Brian's Song. Anything in your hit parade that may make me eat my words?
PS hey Justin, was looking over a hard copy of a lengthy thread from 2001 at moviemusic.com & you're in it; man, I lose track of others like moi who've been haunting these places forever
Back when people actually used to post there before they bailed or were banned. I've been online posting at score forums probably since 1994. Seems so easy to say, huh? It's not until you can summerzie it by saying "two decades" that it bothers you. ;-)
To each is own Howard L. I guess the 70's were just my favorite time of memories for everything and the music in the TV-Movies was kinda funky and silly, but cool to me.
I love the DAUGHTER OF THE MIND score by Robert Drasnin quite a lot and heck that was in 1969.
I remember the music being cool in THE VOYAGE OF THE YES with Desi Arnaz Jr. and Lionel from ALL IN THE FAMILY. Just instrumental and vocal versions by Desi & Mike Evans, of "El Condor Pasa", but it worked really great.
Great theme, about which I've posted in the past. Horrible cover on that VHS though. Doesn't represent the story at all, which is very realistic and quite sad, and the male doesn't look anything like Richard Crenna. Who the hell came up with that? Talk about false advertising!

Good catch. I happened to be watching that night and saw Yes. Amazing you should bring it up.
PS To Each His Own; marvelous soaper, unforgettable ending, wonderful (as if it never is) Victor Young score
