  • It was Steve Cannel's idea to use a song with a vocal for Greatest American Hero's Theme. I think I wrote a pretty good melody, but I know for sure that Steven Geyer wrote a truly artful and fantastic lyric in that it encapsulated the whole idea of the series while making an analogy for love.

    Shows like this is what defined the 80's from anything else.

      So true. In Italy you could find first grade schoolers, like me, trying to guess the lyrics. It was such a sweet melody. I don’t know if Mr. Post has any idea of the impact on us European kids that his melodies had, but I can guarantee it was significant and meaningful 😊

    One of my all time favorites. I just heard Bay City Blues last night, it had a minor league feel to it. I’m now watching L.A. Law season one. That is a great theme song. Lawyers trying to navigate life in L.A. in 1986. Plus Hill Street Blues and Rockford Files are also my favorites.

    I love this song! I have it on your two albums: "Television Theme Songs" and Joey Scarbury's "America's Greatest Hero". Inspiring, catchy, and beautiful!
    I recently discovered another one of your theme songs from a very short-lived Cannell series around that same time, "The Quest": "Kings and Queens" sung by Lisa Lee. I wished the full song was on one of your albums. Equally inspiring, catchy, and beautiful. Would've been another hit.

    Murder One was fantastic. But NYPD Blue you had to just blast it in a loop - it could not have been more perfect. Then, the camera ops, producers, and editors did a wonderful job of shooting and matching great visuals to it, especially the fireworks and drummer at the end to match the first 4 beats each. So punchy!
