    Too bad that this was never released as a single on the radio. It has a great 1960s sound, and it could have been a huge hit!

    From what's shown up in searches, it was sung by the Charles Fox Singers, as mentioned here, who are also known as the Ron Hicklin Singers- voices behind many commercials in the 60s/70s, some Monkees/Partridge Family backing vocs, and the singers of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid's "South American Getaway" (not the Swingle Singers) They also featured in themes from Happy Days, Love American Style (as mentioned in these comments) and Batman, as well as really propping up Gary Lewis' voice on the Playboys records and those prominent backups in Ringo's "Oh My My". The singers were LA-based, so the musicians were most likely Wrecking Crew members- the drums certainly sound like Hal Blaine's playing, and since they were going for a Fifth Dimension/Jimmy Webb feel here, I bet Hal was hired for this. The theme to To Tell The Truth was written by Charles Fox and Paul Alter, director of many Goodson/Todman game shows. Any corrections or confirmations are most welcome!

      Bless you TimeStampGuy! I've tried to figure out the "sight vs. smile" issue for so long! Thanks for the clarification. Sure does sound like "brought a smile" on the recording -- but "outta sight" rhymes and makes more sense.

    • @Tmanaz480

      Budgets were very tight and studio time was very expensive in those days. This may have been a very quick one-and-done project. Maybe it was just a slip from one of the singers. If the real lyric is "out of sight," I could imagine someone singing "out of style" by accident.

      Bud Collyer was a delightful show host--witty with a great sense of humor, and well-loved by the panels and those who knew him. Garry Moore was a good host and also witty, (had known him from I've Got a Secret) but just not as polished as Bud. They wanted to bring Bud back for the syndicated shows (which started with this theme in 1969) but he was too ill, and I believe he died on the day the '69 series debuted. And to tell the truth--I don't think Bud would have blended in well with the psychedelic set.

    I like how he showed the four different sets used during this period. As to it being a released single, it might have been considered too short. As to the lyrics and the word "sight" sounding like "sile" it makes you think the singers might have been unclear as to the words, and they just did one take and said to hell with it.

    As the song's lyrics were mixed down in the outro and replaced with non-lexical vocables (ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba) elsewhere, I believe Goodson never thought the tune had a value outside its most basic function. Did the producers actually specify a theme that included lyrics or was it just a bunch of session musicians who got a great sound and added lyrics as a lark? I don't recall any other gameshow with a theme that included a full set of lyrics! Regardless of intent, it's a punchy, fun example of the Sunshine Pop era typified by groups like the Fifth Dimension and the Cowsills.

    Sounds like a Burt Bacharach-style orchestration. This would have fit in great with the musical "Promises, Promises" - something along the lines of "Where Can You Take a Girl." Needless to say, this qualifies as groovy. Also, spot-on observations to the commenters who noticed similarities to "Windy" by The Association and the music of "Love, American Style."

      The "new" 2016 version is absolutely DREADFUL! Horrible host (can't control the flow & why his mother is on the sidelines is unexplainable!) Panelists (except Betty White) who have no clue what questions to ask (Mike Tyson was unbelievably bad!) Contestants with ridiculous achievements (#1 drag queen Tupperware sales"lady"! Really, seriously?) Don't be concerned about a Season 2.....there won't be one!

    As much as the original instrumental version is good, this version is arguably the best theme of the show. Which apparently is why elements of the theme was used after the series ended. Especially the 1990 version.
