- Winning a Grammy as a writer and as a performer for the Theme from Hill Street Blues was so important to me because not only did I love the show and love doing the music for it, but getting to share that honor with Larry Carlton was a highlight.

Miss this one so much 😢Incredible theme song, thank you for all your legendary songs!
Still recall hearing this tune on the radio in 1980s. The piano remains amazing.
Definitely.
We should have this back on tv again,❤❤❤
This was my dad's favorite show when it came out.
perfection, sir.
This was the grand-daddy of big ensemble cop series.
Quite possibly.
Well done on getting the Grammy , the music reminds me of my childhood and my dad , watching this and others , thankyou from uk .
Likewise.
Man these old school tv classic intros are priceless. 😢
They are at that.
Hill Street Blues, Hill Street Blues, Hill Street Blues I've got the Hill Street Blues, Hill Street Blues I've got the Hill Street Blues!
Not too bad as far as lyrics will go, but try to visualize Captain Furillo on jury duty alongside of Howard Hunter, Henry Goldblume, Andy Renko, Mick Belker, Lucy Bates, Marilyn Munster, Daphne Harridge, Carolyn Stoddard Frump, Victoria Winters Collins, Maggie Evans Haskell, and for the foreman of the jury, Gomez Addams?

"Hill Street Blues" was translated to spanish "El precio del deber" = "Price of duty"
Was aired in my country between 1982 and 1985.
Greetings from Venezuela 🇻🇪
the opening piano is incredible-underrated song back in the 80s, when people had talent, shows were original, music was original
Such catching hill st blues intro and
Ground breaking series loved all the
Stars in hill street 😊
How about if maybe a chosen few among them were reprise their roles in an animated theatrical movie version of the animated series “KING OF THE HILL”, in which they’re all on the same jury as Marilyn Munster, Daphne Harridge Collins, Victoria Winters Collins, Maggie Evans Haskell, Carolyn Stoddard Frump, and none other than Gomez Addams for the jury foreman?
best theme tune by far . great programme
you nailed it brother or sister
cheers mate wish it was on loved those times x
Perhaps.
Whatever.
Gladly.
My all- time favorite theme song. It's just *so* perfect not only for the footage shot in Chicago... but your music, the theme and extra music throughout each show, was like another character being heard from (although season 5 -7 got less poignant and more '80s... ).
I remember watching the first season when I was 11-12 yrs old and just loving the theme song and titles - when the two cop cars go around the corner and the second one fishtails!
I'm almost done watching the entire series again.
The greatest thing about this theme song? It's the only piece of music that gets stuck in my head - and earworm, but it never bothers me when that happens. It always makes me smile.
Thank you for all of your wonderful music... you wrote the theme music to many shows I watched in grammar school and high school.
Thank you, especially for this poignant theme song masterpiece.
They may have filmed in Chicago, but 9 out of every 10 storylines took place in Duluth, Minnesota.
I remember teaching myself how to play this on the piano when I was 8, it got stuck in my head, I would have loved a vinyl with this, and Angela (Bob James) on it. Thanks for posting, and thanks most for composing!
My favourite US police series.
mine too all the best x
Can we have Hill street blues on again please 🙏

I always thought this was filmed in Pittsburgh, it’s fun to guess, also maybe Buffalo
Although, actually filmed in Chicago, but all storylines were in fact taking place in Duluth, Minnesota, according to the scripts of each episode.
@@user-wi6sh6vh8udidn’t think Duluth had so much crime or people. Interesting
Let's be careful out there.

bring back the re runs of this fatastic theme tune
Like in the form of hand drawn animation?
Jury room at the federal courthouse in Duluth, Minnesota.
Trial going on:
United States Versus Milton Farnsworth Thatherton, Ted Wassanasong, Chane Wassanasong, Clark Peters, and Stuart Dooley.
The date (in accordance with the Gregorian calendar) Monday February 16TH, 2009.
Time: 8:59 A.M.
Frank Furillo: “I see no two ways about it. That Texas skunk Thatherton together with the Wassanasong men as well as Peters and Dooley are all guilty as far as I’m concerned!”
Howard Hunter: “I’ll agree with you for once in my life Frank. They’re all guilty, and the younger Wassanasong and Peters and Dooley deserve the death penalty while Wassanasong Sr., and Thatherton can cool their heels in Chillicothe, knowing that the smell of papermills are all about that town.”
Lucy Bates: “They’re all guilty. At least the older Wassanasong gets life without parole alongside of Thatherton in Chillicothe, and the younger Wassanasong together with Peters and Dooley get lethal injection in Texas at Huntsville.”
Andy Renko: “They’re all guilty in my book, especially anyone using an illegal AK-47 to gun down someone all because they would join a narcotics ring on moral grounds.”
Henry Goldblume: “I have to vote guilty on this one. Besides, before I reported for jury duty, I got wind that some Texas township school board chairman would be investigated by my cousin, FBI Agent Tobias Fornell.”
Mick Belker: “Good luck to him, Henry. Anyway, I’m voting guilty to put all five of these hairbags in the penitentiary.”
Marilyn Munster: “Dope deals. Tax evasion and tax fraud. Plus, murder on top of everything else. I just have to vote guilty.”
Daphne Harridge Collins: “Guilty!”
Maggie Evans Haskell: “Guilty all the way!”
Victoria Winters Collins: “I too am voting guilty!”
Carolyn Stoddard Frump: “Definitely guilty in spite of the defense counselor’s pleas during closing arguments.”
Frank Furillo: (eyeballing the jury foreman) “It’s all up to you, Addams.”
Gomez Addams: “Guilty without so much as a trace of reasonable doubt otherwise.”
10:00 A.M., the jurors are in the jury box ready to render their verdict of guilty as charged.
Judge Carl Brown: “Has the jury reached a verdict?”
Gomez Addams: “We have, Your Honor.”
Judge Carl Brown: “What say you?”
Gomez Addams: “We find the defendants, Ted Wassanasong and Milton Farnsworth Thatherton, on the count of Narcotics Trafficking, we find the defendants guilty.
On the count of Federal Income Tax Evasion, we find the defendants guilty.
On the count of conspiracy to commit murder, we find the defendants guilty.
Also, we find the defendants Chane Wassanasong, Clark Peters, and Stuart Dooley, on two counts each of murder in the first degree, we find the defendants guilty.”
Judge Carl Brown: “Ted Wassanasong and Milton Farnsworth Thatherton, this court does hereby sentence the two of you to life without parole in the federal penitentiary in Chillicothe, Ohio.
Chane Wassanasong, Clark Peters, and Stuart Dooley, this court hereby sentence the three of you to be executed in the Texas State Penitentiary in Huntsville three weeks from today at exactly 3:33 A.M.
Members of the jury, the court thanks you for your services. Court is adjourned.”
Kahn Souphanousinphone: (leaping onto the defense table yelling as the defendants are led away for transport to where they’ll serve out their sentences) “This wasn’t a trial!!! It’s just a resurrection of the McCarthy hearings of the 1950s!!!”
Judge Carl Brown: “Bailiff, arrest Mr. Souphanousinphone now, and then bring him into my chambers!”
Minutes later in Judge Brown’s chambers.
Judge Carl Brown: “Mr. Souphanousinphone, I have passed sentencing on the defendants as well as having gone along with the verdict of the jury. I can’t reverse it, however, your behavior just now is only good enough for a fine of $33,333.33 for contempt of court.”
Kahn Souphanousinphone: “Ted Wassanasong only did what he did to try to free Laos 🇱🇦 from communist dictatorship.”
Judge Carl Brown: “But he did it all illegally. Now, he’s paying his debt to society, and neither of us is able to reverse it under the circumstances.”
Kahn Souphanousinphone: “What about Chane Wassanasong? Surely you can’t let him do prison time for killing redneck hillbillies?”
Judge Carl Brown: “Elroy Kleinschmidt turned down the offer that Ted Wassanasong made him on moral grounds, and he ordered him murdered to make an example of him as a warning to other truckers who would dare to defy him in the same manner.”
Kahn Souphanousinphone: “Where is Cindy Wassanasong? Surely, she wouldn’t want her son in prison.”
Judge Carl Brown: “On the contrary, Mr. Souphanousinphone. The evidence turned over to the prosecution against Mr. Wassanasong by the DEA and the IRS was received from Cindy Wassanasong. The reason why she isn’t here is because the U.S. Marshals now have her in their witness protection and relocation program. Meaning, that you’ll have to make the rounds of every Buddhist monastery in Nepal 🇳🇵, because that’s where she is most likely, leading the life of a Buddhist nun.”
Kahn Souphanousinphone: “I won’t even bother with that! I’ll pay your stupid fine as well as paying for Chane Wassanasong’s appeal, so he can become my son-in-law!”
Judge Carl Brown: “You’re about a month too late to try that. Your daughter Connie is now legally married to one Robert Jeffrey Hill of Arlen, Texas.”
Kahn Souphanousinphone: “You can’t be serious! Connie would not get married to hillbilly redneck like Bobby Hill!”
Judge Carl Brown: “I’m afraid it’s quite true. I also have a copy of their Nevada issued marriage certificate and marriage license from Las Vegas to prove it.” (laying the papers in front of Kahn) “Also, I have this 8”X10” glossy from an ultrasound taken at a free clinic in Arlen, Texas, and it proves that your daughter isn’t just married to young Mr. Hill of Arlen, Texas, but she’s going to have his baby, too. Even though she had the clinic appointments under the name of Consuela Martinez.”
Kahn looks at the glossy of the ultrasound that shows a grandson in his future, and he suddenly faints to the floor.
Three days later he awakens in the cardiac care unit of the hospital of the medical school at the University of Minnesota at Duluth.
I would of made a great Renko
How interesting.
